The Literacy of Images: Interactions between Text and Other Media

How do images create meaning in texts? How do words guide the interpretation of images? This course will examine relations between texts from different literary genres (the Bande Dessinée, fiction and autobiography) and other media (illustration, photography, cinema) through an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, by combining perspectives from literature, cinema, illustration, and photography. The course will be held in English. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
