EN 384 Graphic Fiction Adaptations from Literature and Life

A study of graphic fiction as a hybrid narrative medium through a deep analysis of its synthesis of the narrative approaches of literary fiction, drama, journalism, and visual arts; and its distinctive blend of visual and verbal languages to produce graphic adaptions of print literature (as well as narrative media like film and television). Introduces fundamental narrative and dramatic devices of the two languages and various media; provides a critical vocabulary for interpreting graphic fiction; guides careful textual analysis of important graphic fictions together with their narrative sources.

Offers regular opportunities to discuss and interpret fiction in class and in writing, including the creation of graphic fiction works.

Prerequisite: Junior standing or above.
