| AMST 1045 - Graphic Novel Postmodern City |
|
*The Graphic Novel and the Postmodern City*
From dystopian visions of isolation and alienation to utopian illustrations of soaring towers and integrated communities, comics and graphic novels since the 1970s have represented a range of cityscapes and ways of living in them. Our efforts will focus on understanding how comics work as a cultural form distinct from others and how various artists and writers have imagined urban space in relatively recent U.S. cultural history. Some texts might include: Daniel Clowes, /Ghost World/; Alan Moore and David Lloyd, /V for Vendetta/; Chris Ware, /Jimmy Corrigan/, /The Smartest Kid on Earth/, and G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphono, /Ms. Marvel/.
