ITST 143 - (IS) Drawn From History: The Italian Graphic Novel, Terrorism and Student ProtestSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
A new school of graphic novelists, or comic book auteurs, appeared in Italy in the mid-1970s. The work of these artists was deeply connected with the counter-culture of those years, with the thriving school of post-modern Italian painters, and with the new forms of political dissent which had materialized after the protests of 1968. Through the study of some of the most representative examples of the alternative graphic novels of the period, students will gain insight into Italy’s so-called “lead years,” the troubled, yet culturally fertile 70s and 80s, which coincided with the dawn of left- and right-wing terrorism and with the second wave of student protests throughout Italy.
