Institution:

Marylhurst University

Description:

As Art Spiegelman notes, "Comics may no longer be the 'realname' for a narrative medium that intimately intertwines words and pictures, but isn't necessarily comic in tone." In the '80s a new name, "The Graphic Novel" was coined fothis burgeoning genre. This course will focus on some of the recent classics in this genre, including several graphic memoirs that bear witness to historical events. Students will also read current criticism and theory, as they examine how images and text work together to inform our interpretations of graphic narratives. Meets LAC outcomes: AIB7, HCD5. 3 crs.
