Learning unit contents
In thirty class meetings, we will cover the history of comics beginning with their earliest beginnings (the Swiss Rodolphe Toeppfer, the German Wilhelm Busch and the Frenchman Christophe) up to the present day and even the present moment. Since we cannot be exhaustive regarding this subject, the course will will particularly emphasize the contribution of American comics and of Franco-Belgian comic books (Tintin, Spirou, Vaillant, Pilote). The complexity of this logo-iconic genre and its principal lines of force are at the center of the course, which combines various approaches - semiotic, aesthetic, sociological, anthropological and narratological.
