</div>
<div class="gmail-is-layout-flow gmail-wp-block-column" style="flex-basis: 66.66%;">
<p>Popular yet personal, branded as trivial yet rich with meaning,
comics are more than cultural scraps or leftovers. In fact, comics are
everywhere: they are art objects, storying machines, readable games,
tools for disseminating knowledge, and platforms for worldbuilding and
political argument. Whether viewed as historical artifacts or
distinctive literary and artistic works, comics carry culture with them.
In this workshop, we will study how comics move through the world,
socially and materially, how they can make a difference in the world,
and how we, as teachers, researchers, and creators, can use them.</p>
<p>Comic art has a complex social life. Comic books, graphic novels,
strips, and cartoons come in varied material (and now digital) forms and
reach diverse readerships. Many are thought to be ephemeral, as
disposable as yesterday’s newspapers or tweets; some are built to last.
Many last despite their seeming ephemerality, archived by collectors,
fans, and, increasingly, archiving professionals and research libraries.
Conserving, organizing, and accessing these artifacts can be a
challenge but also a profound pleasure; comics offer us opportunities
for creative engagement as well as deep research. Our workshop will
study how comics come to be, how they circulate, where and how they are
archived, and how we may teach with them.</p>
<p>We will focus on comics’ physical materiality, on firsthand
experience and “show and tell.” Our hands-on sessions will mix varied
forms of nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century comic art, from
newspaper pages to comic magazines, from graphic novels to minicomix,
zines, and webcomics. Drawing on the resources of the Smithsonian
Libraries and Archives, we will explore the material and social
histories of comics, the idiosyncrasies of comics production, including
differences among American, European, and Japanese traditions, and how
comics have been shored against time by collectors. We will consider
comics as products of various industries, cultures, and social scenes—as
historic artifacts, yes, but also urgent dispatches from the here and
now. Participants will come out of this workshop knowing:</p>
<ul><li>the distinctions among various genres of comics (including comic
strips, comic books, graphic novels, webcomics, and minicomics) and how
they look and feel</li><li>the various ways comics are produced and circulated, by whom, and under what conditions</li><li>how to find and access comics in archives</li><li>how we can deploy comics in teaching</li><li>how comics can elevate marginalized and minoritized identities and serve as vehicles for social protest and transformation</li><li>overall, how comics move through and “trouble” the world, in the best senses of that word.</li></ul>

<h3>Requirements</h3>
</div>
<div class="gmail-is-layout-flow gmail-wp-block-column" style="flex-basis: 66.66%;">
<p>I will share a list of pre-readings with participants prior to the
course. We will read further materials during our week together. In
addition, everyone should prepare a brief (one or two-page) written or
comics-style introduction to themselves, to be shared no later than our
first meeting. Expect to participate in class discussions, take part in
various site visits, and interact with, and prepare questions, for our
guest speakers (comics and archiving experts from the greater
Washington, D.C. area). Sketchnoting or keeping a comics diary will be
encouraged.</p>
