This course examines intersections between image and text across the twentieth century. Working from theoretical and critical sources on visual culture, we will apply certain key terms and concepts—from ekphrasis to punctum—to photo-essays, graphic novels, and fiction about visual artists. Writers may include Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, W. G. Sebald, John Berger, Claudia Rankine, Teju Cole, and Solmaz Sharif. This course may involve visits to local museums, galleries, and exhibits. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
