HON 344 - Illustrating History/the World: Graphic Memoirs, Novels, and Reportage


Prerequisite, acceptance to the University Honors Program, or consent of instructor. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this course will explore the ways in which history and culture, the “Other” and the “Self,” are conveyed and/or challenged through visual texts, such as graphic memoirs, novels, and reportage. We will examine the relationship between text and image as well as the efficacy of representing individual and collective histories and experiences in “comic” form. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
