PHIL 1918 - Comics as Art (3 Cr.) Freshman Seminar

Philosophy Department (10982) TCLA - College of Liberal Arts

Course description

In this seminar, we will explore the idea that comics are as legitimate an art form as painting or poetry. We will ask: How do comics differ from other artistic media? How does reading a comic differ from reading poetry or novels? How have comics influenced, and been influenced by, culture and politics? And what, exactly, makes a comic a comic (and not something else)?
