Course Catalog Description:
This course aims to read and study a specific kind of narrative we call "graphic novel." The term itself is often a point of contention, but the purpose of this course is not to defend the validity of the term or the medium. "Comic books" and "graphic novels" are not endangered animals. Rather, we will use this example of "sequential art" to think through the ways this genre intersects, uses, and informs various other narrative and artistic forms as well as the way the genre may be unique with its own way of producing meaning. Comics involve a hybrid strategy of image and text, so we will attempt to keep both aspects in mind throughout the semester, never forgetting that comics are neither purely "visual" nor purely "textual." Since comics are often wedded-in mainstream culture-with certain kinds of content (e.g. superheroes), we will also investigate the characteristics of different "genres" within comics, as well as various questions about literariness.

Class Description:

By popular accounts, the term "graphic novel" wasn't coined until the mid-1960s. Even so, the graphic novel form follows from a centuries-long tradition (some would say a millennia-long one) of interaction between word and image. This course seeks to place the graphic novel within this context, exploring the ways that word and image have historically interacted with one another - sometimes symbiotically, sometimes antagonistically (and sometimes both at once). Alongside reading some of the more recognized pillars of the "graphic novel canon" (e.g. Art Spiegelman's Maus), we might also explore subjects as diverse as Egyptian hieroglyphics; ekphrastic poetry; children's books; map-making; early newspaper "funnies" like George Herriman's Krazy Kat; woodcut novels like those of Lynn Ward; the development of the cinema; the playful typographical experiments of Lewis Carroll's "The Mouse's Tale" or Guillaume Apollinaire's "ideological ideograms"; the surrealistic collage novels of Max Ernst or Cozette de Charmoy; Rene Magritte's painting The Treachery of Images; modern developments in advertising and marketing; the underground "comix" of the 1960s counterculture like those of R. Crumb; and so on and so forth. Of course, this list is only a partial one; in the course of the semester, students will be encouraged to fill in their own gaps. Our main textbook for this class will be Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics.

Class Description:
Graphic novels as an art form and hybrid genre have slowly been gaining ground in mainstream and scholarly reading. In this course, we will read several notable graphic novels as we attempt to work through the ways this genre intersects, utilizes, and informs various other narrative and artistic forms as well as the ways in which it is a genre unique unto itself capable of producing meaning. Readings should include seminal works by Gene Luen Yang, Craig Thompson, Frank Miller, Art Spiegelman, Joe Sacco, Alison Bechdel, Marjane Satrapi, as well as Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics. The course will hopefully be both fun and rigorous as we explore together some engaging, intriguing, and important works.
Class Format:
The class will be primarily discussion. Each student will need to contribute.
Workload:
Other Workload: Daily readings and discussion questions, 2 exams, a small paper, and a group presentation.

Class Description:
This reading/discussion course will focus on a variety of comic books: the serious, the funny, the weird, the literary, the superhero, and the autobiographical. We'll read essays about comics, too, and our discussions will focus on why comics can do things that novels, short stories, poems, and films can never hope to do. Starting with Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics to establish a critical vocabulary we will proceed to confirm and dismiss all McCloud's ideas in a gleeful spirit of inquiry. We'll ask: what is sequential art? What is the difference between a black and white comic and a color comic? Why is adolescence so important in comics? What about memory and time? What is genre? What about drawing? Why are some beautiful comics so ugly? Readings will include Maus, Ghost World, Lynda Barry, Alan Moore, Adriane Tomine, Jason, and more!
