Latinx in Graphic Detail

This course centers graphic narratives in an exploration of Latinx becoming. With analytic attention to the interplay of narrative and illustration, assigned texts will provoke thematic conversations on gender and sexuality, migration and exile, racial hierarchies and national belonging, as well as feminist and queer utopian ideation. Formally, we will study comics, biography, memoirs, bildungsroman narratives, political projects, and consider the invocation of other artforms including punk music, site specific installation, performance, sculpture, and photography.
