Text? Image? Manga positions itself in the interstices of image and word, mainstream culture and subculture, local and global economies. This course will examine its historical and cultural contexts, technical and narrative strategies and local and global significance, reading shôjo girls, shônen boys, information and “other” manga, as well as pop culture, visual literacy and graphic art articles.
