This program was originally scheduled for Feb. 20 and was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
Let鈥檚 Talk About it, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 2018 series War, Not War, and Peace, continues on February 20th with MAUS.
麻豆传媒 City comics scholar and maker Steve Gooch presents Art Spiegelman's MAUS. MAUS is based on 厂辫别颈驳别濒尘补苍鈥檚 attempts to understand and represent the story of his father, a survivor of the WWII Holocaust. Personal elements from the author鈥檚 adult life are woven with his father鈥檚 memories, which are depicted as cat-and-mouse cartoon drawings that offer their own commentary on the ethnic persecution in Europe. Spiegelman has become a respected figure of the avant-garde in 鈥渁rt comics鈥� and autobiographical graphic narrative. The depictions in this story will add new layers to readers鈥� understandings of a familiar history because of its intimate location within this family story and its innovative visual representations. This presentation is a part of the 麻豆传媒 Humanities Let's Talk About It 麻豆传媒 "War, Not War, and Peace: A Pulitzer Prize Centennial 麻豆传媒." All are welcome to attend.
All sessions take place in Walker Center Room 151 at 7:00 PM.
