Comics and the Middle East

Catalog description

This course explores comics and graphic novels that portray the Middle East, its peoples, and their experiences. We will read comics and graphic novels that are written or illustrated by authors and artists from the Middle East in dialogue with those created by their counterparts from across the globe-so long as the Middle East, its diasporas, and their communities (as part and parcel of our connected world) are the focus of their works. Some of these works are written originally in English and some others will be read in English translation from their original languages. Offered at least once a year.
