Roma and Slavs have interacted for centuries and this course examines the history of that interaction with particular emphasis on linguistic and educational rights. Taught in English, all readings in English. How do comics effect the relationship between the personal and national? Can graphic novels substitute history textbooks? May also include visual arts and/or digital cultural texts. Looking at a different kind of cultural text each week, the course focuses on close reading, formal and structural analysis, representation, figurative language and metaphor across different media and develops foundational skills for cultural textual interpretation. Readings from throughout the Slavic and East European regions.
