    1 Carleton University Fall 2018 Department of English ENGL 3011A: Comics and Graphic Novels Prerequisite(s): third-year standing or permission of the department Wednesday and Friday / 2:35 p.m.-3:55pm Location: 280 University Center *confirm meeting place on Carleton Central prior to the first class* Instructor: B. Johnson Email: [email protected] Office: 1917 Dunton Tower Phone: (613) 520-2600 ext. 2331 Office Hours: Tuesdays 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. Course Description This course has several broad goals, foremost among them is to guide students towards a fuller, richer, more pleasurable, more knowledgeable, and more intellectually stimulating experience of reading comics. To this end, the course will begin with a substantial introduction to the formal and technical dimensions of comics as a medium of expression. We will learn about how elements like the comic panel and the comic page function as systems of meaning and how visual and verbal systems of signification converge and interact within graphic space. We will develop our skills in visual literacy and examine some of the ways that comic narratives have shaped but also challenged the conventions of the medium across a very broad range of visual styles, genres, and aesthetic projects. Once we have developed some preliminary facility with the formal elements and technical language of comics, we will begin to pursue the secondary goals of the course in greater detail: (1) developing a sense of the material and cultural history of North American comics and (2) developing a sense of the emergent academic field of comic studies.
