History, Memoir and Comics: Graphic Representations of 9/11
Professor Davida Pines has a long-standing interest in, and fascination with, the way the art of comics lends itself to the simultaneous representation of personal and public history. She will consider the difference that comics make when representing serious historic events, and the relationship between form and content in two different graphic works on "9/11: Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers and Alissa Torres' American Widow."
