Seminar
SoSe 22: Graphic Narratives
Christina Meye, Birte Wege
Kommentar
As the recent uproar about the book-ban for Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work MAUS shows, comics remain a contentious topic. They are frequently derided as low-brow, kid’s stuff, a threat to literacy or even to moral values. Fans and scholars alike, meanwhile, see them as – often avant-garde – work that is uniquely situated to engage with political and social issues of their day, beyond what is available for other modes of expression. This seminar will provide an introduction and overview to the works of the broad category of ‘graphic narrative.’ We will combine theory readings from comics-, literary-, and cultural studies with key primary texts in each session, ranging from early comic strips and wordless novels to superheroes, underground comix, and the many iterations of the graphic novel genre produced in the last three decades. We will examine the work of, amongst others, George Herriman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, R.Crumb, Art Spiegelman, The Hernandez Brothers, Alison Bechdel, Ho Che Anderson, and Lynda Barry.
