Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2623 This advanced seminar focuses on critical and theoretical approaches to the graphic novel. In the past several decades, a genre of “auteur comics” has emerged from the medium that are highly literary with a deep engagement between form and meaning. This seminar focuses on weekly close readings of such graphic novels with rigorous analysis of form and content. Primary text readings are supplemented with readings from literary theory, visual studies, and philosophy. Participants are expected to be comfortable with the application of literary critical theory and visual studies theory to texts. There are no prerequisites for the course, but due to the quantity and complexity of the reading material, some background in literary study is necessary. Students interested in taking this course in fulfillment of a major requirement in Comparative Literature or East Asian Languages and Cultures will need to discuss with me prior to enrollment. Preference given to students who have taken EALC B255. Enrollment Limited: 14; Enrollment Criteria: If enrollment is exceeded, enrollment priority will be given to students who have taken EALC 255. |
