Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar sets out to examine the notions of fiction, life-writing and historicity through the medium of comics. Focusing on several recent graphic novels published in Greece and connecting them to transnational debates, the course will explore a variety of ways in which, beyond just being a means of representation, comics can enrich our understanding of history, reframe mainstream narratives as well as draw attention to lesser known stories. We will address the questions, such as: what can comics as a form of knowledge contribute to the ways in which we frame historical events? How do comics negotiate the tension between the documentary and the aesthetic? What different roles does literary fiction assume in this process? The seminar will consist of six bi-weekly blocks, each dedicated to exploring a specific question and case study.
