The Photographer: Into War-torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders, a graphic novel coauthored by photographer Didier Lefèvre, comic book artist Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frédéric Lemercier, presents Lefèvre s experience as a photojournalist hired by Doctors Without Borders in a 1986 expedition that brought medical aid to Afghanistan. This work investigates the manner in which a hybrid medium such as comics - which frequently uses a dialogue between image and text, and, in the case of The Photographer, illustration and photography as well - can be read as a specific form of language. It also aims at analyzing the double movement of self-writing and other-writing articulated in the book, taking into account the specificities of co-authorial writing.
