German Through Graphic Novels

4 Credits

This course introduces students to the wide world of German-language graphic novels. In their ever-growing popularity, graphic novels have become a dynamic medium to explore both ordinary and serious topics, such as love, memory, culture, history, trauma, identity, gender, and sexuality. At the same time, graphic novels offer the advanced language-learner an accessible and expressive means to engage with German literature through both text and image. A component of this course will be to review and build on German-language skills. Attribute/Distribution: AL, HU, W
