LIT 268 Latinx Graphic Novel

3 hours

The graphic novel is a genre of growing significance in Latinx literary studies.  It focuses on tales of feminist super-heroes, immigrant crossings, biographies of race, and other 20th and 21st century narratives. The class looks at the genre’s influential Latinx creators and interprets the way image and text play off each other to explore diversity in the United States. Students will learn the critical vocabulary of graphic narratives that entwines the visual and textual into a dynamic mode of storytelling.
