This module will examine the intersection of text and visual imagery in selected graphic novels. The module will ask, what can we learn from graphic novels in an increasingly visual culture? Taking a number of now iconic graphic novels, the students will look at each original story, and ask why this particular story has been told in graphic novel form and not in more traditional text forms. The module will explore the politics, the aesthetics and the historical moment of each graphic novel. Students will be asked to keep a learning journal throughout the module.
