ENGL 35833 - (was 3358) Visual Literatures

Was ENGL 3358. Focuses on the subversive and traditionally undervalued range of diverse literatures that integrate image and word. The course explores text types from comics to picture books, anime to illustrated novels, multimedia projects to narrative video games, video essays to interactive fiction, and more. Students engage in these texts through literary, hermeneutic, semiotic, phenomenological, historical, industry, and comparative analyses - all toward the purposeful reading, discussion, and appreciation of visual literature.
