ENGL 589 - Imagetexts: Expository Graphic Narratives and Comics Theory

This course examines non-fiction graphic (verbal and visual) texts through various disciplinary lenses (aesthetics, comics studies, literary and film theory, linguistics, history, gender studies, memory studies, ethnic studies, and cultural criticism). Graduate students will apply these critical approaches to graphic memoirs, reportage, comic essays, graphic histories, wordless texts, and monographs written in comic form.
