1 Spring 2015 ENG : Comics & Graphic Novels TR 9-10:30 Room: TBD Prof. Jean-Christophe Cloutier FBH 316 Office Hours: TBD, & by appointment Course Description: This course combines literary and historical approaches to investigate one of the most rapidly growing and increasingly influential forms of literature: the graphic novel. Popular yet understudied for over a century, comics are now critically recognized as a major form of communication and contemporary creative arts. The course represents an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge mirrored by the graphic novel s joint ancestry in fine arts and literature. It will include a historical overview of the form s development across the twentieth century, complete with analysis of relevant broader institutional and cultural factors illuminating the growth of American media culture more generally. Providing students with the critical skills necessary to read and understand this deceptively complex medium and visual storytelling in general the course exposes students to a series of works that define and redefine the genre while illustrating a variety of artistic & storytelling approaches to central themes of the American experience: politics, sexuality, class, censorship, violence, cultural and ethnic diversity. Readings will include classic and contemporary works by writers and artists such as Lynda Barry, Alison Bechdel, Charles Burns, R. Crumb, Neil Gaiman, Bernie Krigstein, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Harvey Pekar, Joe Sacco, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, and others (including selected Manga). In addition, we will read selections from graphic narrative theory and comics history, beginning with Scott McCloud s Understanding Comics. Assignments will include weekly blurbs on Canvas, two short response papers, and a final.
