授業の目的?内容 /Course Objectives |
In this course, we will take a look at the cultural history and background of American comic books. In class, students will improve their critical thinking and discussion skills through a closer look at American comic book culture. How are American and Japanese comic books different? What are the cultural and historical influences that have resulted in these differences? Each week, students will learn about a different aspect of U.S. comic book culture while discussing and presenting on influences such as immigration, censorship, gender, and fan culture and activism. Students are required to keep reflection notes for class discussion. In-class assignments and short quizzes will also be given to assess progress and comprehension. |
