Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis
Hello All. I will be screening Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Parronaud's film, Persepolis (France, 2007) which is an animated film adapted from Satrapi's own graphic novel, Persepolis (published in 2000) on Tuesday, November 11 @8pm in GK1.3 (to be on the safe side of any last minute room changes please check the board at the entrance for any announcements).
We will be using this work to speak about form, comics as 'the art of tensions', narrative structure, representation, autobiography, memory and medium specificity. It will also be a good source for reflection on gender in comics, international comic traditions and adaptation across media.

You can find three excerpts from Satrapi's graphic novel here: Kim Wilde, The Soup and The MakeUp. The entire book is on reserve in the library. Those of you interested in this material might also want to take a look at Zeina Abirached's graphic novel A Game For Swallows: To Die, To Leave, To Return which was certainly influenced by Satrapi's poetics and themes.
