ENGL 3358 - Visual Literatures

Visual Literatures 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 fictions, and more. Students in the course engage these texts through literary, hermeneutic, semiotic, phenomenological, historical, industry, and comparative analyses-all toward the purposeful reading, discussion, and appreciation of visual literatures.
