Short Title: | Studies In Amer Cult |
Description: | This course focuses on the social context of communication (artist-text-audience) and such regulating agencies as the Comics Code Authority. Cultural critics have only recently accorded comics any status as an art form. How can we understand and read comics as a unique American art form? The approach that this course uses to find answers to such questions is broadly that of narrative semiotics which allows for both ideological and formal analysis of comics as modern American folklore and myth. |
