This module focuses on the ways in which contemporary graphic novels mediate and critically reflect upon cultural, societal, and political issues. Students will also have the opportunity to work with online tools to create their own short cartoons and graphic texts, and they will be encouraged to consider how their creative scripts might equally inspire reflection on social and cultural problems. The module may appeal to creative writers, as well as students of anthropology, design innovation, and media studies. Since students will use online tools to generate images and design vignettes, no drawing skills are necessary. Students of Spanish and Latin American Studies will analyse Spanish-language vignettes and graphic novels and will be expected to produce Spanish-language cartoons and graphic texts.
