North American Literary and Cultural Studies

Nordamerikanische Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft

Research

  • Comics Studies / Graphic Narrative Studies

One of our main research interests in North American Literary and Cultural Studies is comics.
Comics have been a significant part of American culture since their emergence in the 1890s, when newspaper comic strips became a popular mass medium.
If you have a special interest in comics and wish to study their history and form, you will be able to do so in one of several comics-related courses we are offering in the BA program “Literature, Culture, Media” (BA LKM), the MA program “Advanced Literary Studies” (MA LiWi), and in the teaching program for English (“Lehramt”).
Past courses we have offered are:
  • Graphic Narrative: Theory and Analysis
  • Race and Ethnicity in U.S.-American Comics
  • Black History in Graphic Narratives
  • Contemporary Graphic Novels
  • Disaster Drawn: War and Migration in Graphic Narrative
  • Extra-ordinarity: Superheroes and Visual Culture
  • Graphic Women
  • Graphic Novels in Context
  • Gender Studies and Comics Studies
