Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Whether you call it comic books, graphic novels or graphic narratives this visual medium offers its audiences two channels of representaion: the word and the image.Comics or Sequential Art produce meaning at the intersection of text and visual image. Because of their high specificity, they are especially well-suited for developing analytical skills regarding medium-specific modes of meaning production. So what are these specific mechanisms and images, and how do comics use them in order to invade our daily realities and construct their own?
