With a theoretical focus on comics studies, this course concerns Nora Krug’s graphic text Belonging (2018). Students will apply tenets of comics studies when reading the text, in which the author seeks to come to terms with her family’s past. General discussions of Heimat and personal stories will round out the theoretical and literary analytical aspects of the course. The course is conducted in English and can accommodate learners on the CEF levels B2, C1, or C2.
