The aim of the course to introduce students to a range of narrative-stylistic devices in contemporary Czech comic strip versions of literary works. The seminar will include comparing literary models with their comics versions; drawing conclusions about the degree of literariness left in this intersemiotic genre; producing and analysing the student's own comics adaptation of a literary work of their choice. Students will be able to appraise new comics versions of literature.
