Identity Representation in Graphic Novels and Comics

This exam focuses on the theoretical frameworks surrounding identity representation in graphic narratives, particularly considering aspects such as race, gender, and sexuality. Students will analyze how these elements are visually and narratively constructed within various comic texts.

Understanding how identity is portrayed in comics has significant implications in both academic discourse and societal contexts. It fosters critical examination of cultural narratives and provides insight into marginalized voices within comic arts, reinforcing their relevance in contemporary discussions of diversity and social justice.

The exam will assess students' ability to articulate complex ideas regarding identity representation verbally. Candidates will demonstrate their comprehension of key texts as well as relevant theories, evaluating examples of representation and critique articulated in their analysis.

Candidates are encouraged to reflect critically on their readings and formulate coherent, structured arguments that encapsulate their understanding of how identity influences comic storytelling.
