Abstract :
[en] This course explores expanded forms of comics—from traditional graphic novels to the most recent experiments in text and image. Alongside a study of foundational works in comics and graphic novels, we’ll also survey recent publications in manga, webcomics, visual novels, and other experiments in graphic fiction. In each instance, this course attends to issues of representation in comics, including questions of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability in new modes of graphic storytelling. Students will also experiment with making their own critical comics and graphic narratives. Throughout, we will read many comics and related forms, including the work of Lynda Barry, Eleanor Davis, The Fullbright Company, Akiko Higashimuro, Satoshi Kon, Ilan Manouach, Matt Marden, David Mazzucchelli, Scott McCloud, Brian McDonald and Toby Cypress, Richard McGuire, Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá, Trung Le Nguyen, Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Ben Passmore, Alec Robbins, Dan Salvato, Walter Kaheró:Ton Scott, David Sim, Jillian and Mariko Tamaki, Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, and Disa Wallander, among others—up to and including those we discover together in the course of our study.
