Michel De Dobbeleer (1978) is a Slavist, Italianist and Classicist, and
teaches Old Church Slavonic Language, Literature and Culture at
Ghent University. At the same time, he is finishing his Ph.D. in epic
theory and narratology in the study of premodern historiographical
texts, specifically Nestor-Iskinder’s medieval Russian Tale on the
Taking of Constantinople. His publications mainly deal with ‘siege
narratives’ (their plots, chronotopes, representation of sieges in comics,
etc.) and narrativity in comics.
