What can we learn from alternative, multimodal forms of knowledge production? This course applies anthropological approaches to Jewish graphic narratives. We will explore the ways Jewish authors grapple with complex experiences of trauma, migration, displacement, and identity, through the use of graphic media. Some of the works we will read include Spiegelman, Chabon, Kurzweil, Krimstein, and others.
