Instructor:
"THE POLITICS OF WEIRDNESS IN
COMICS"
(VLPA)
THIS COURSE WILL TACKLE A NUMBER
OF RECENT 'WEIRD' COMICS (AKA
GRAPHIC NOVELS).
WHILE WEIRDNESS IN COMICS IS
NOTHING NEW, THESE WORKS ARE
EXPLICIT IN THEIR EXPLORATION OF
A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORMAL
EXPERIMENTATION AND CULTURAL
DIFFERENCE AND, IN SOME CASES,
RESISTANCE. OUR TIME WILL BE
BALANCED BETWEEN CRITICAL READING
AND DEBATE ABOUT THE ART AND MORE
CREATIVE EXPERIMENTS AND
EXERCISES INSPIRED BY OUR
DISCUSSIONS.
