This course advances the study of popular culture as connected to the framework of comics. It builds upon theoretical debates and social issues surrounding comics in their local and global contexts including graphic novels and manga - and their place in contemporary culture. It explores the textual and social implications of blood, memory, and beauty in comics, and their relationship to the broader popular culture scope, including film and performance. It critiques the impact of comics as both a graphic and a cultural medium. It enquires into how comics, and their adaptations, function to represent social, cultural, and historical identities.
