ENG 366 - The Graphic Novel

Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

English

Description:

This cultural studies course focuses on the graphic novel as pop culture product and literary practice. Students will explore how meaning (linguistic and artistic) is created in celebrated examples of the form, as well as in emerging classics. Our reading will be informed by contemporary theoretical perspectives as we interrogate the relationships that exist between the concepts of the "graphic novel," the "comic book," and the "storyboard." Through in-depth study of primary texts including Art Spiegelman's Maus, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, Joe Sacco's Journalism, and other examples of the form, we will better appreciate the unique achievement of this relatively new literary genre. 3 credits
