FREN 057. Bande dessinée, nouvelle Manga et romans graphiques

The bande dessinée, the Francophone analog to comics, has evolved alongside contemporary youth culture to become a locus for expressions of sociocultural and aesthetic changes, as well as antiestablishment discourses. In the context of issues such as social class, cultural diversity, and feminity/masculinity, this course will connect canonical comics (such as Asterix and Tintin) with more current cutting-edge forms including la nouvelle Manga and graphic novels from Rwanda, Algeria, Lebanon and Iran.
