University Open Air: Modern Mythology of the American Superhero
This event has been cancelled.
**Please note: Due to the forecast of rain throughout the day, today’s (Thursday, September 9) University Open Air classes have been cancelled. We will notify registered patrons if we’re able to reschedule these classes for another day.
From the Golden Age of Comic Books beginning in the 1930s to the current Golden Age of Television, the American art form of Superhero storytelling has conquered the box office worldwide. In this course, we will deconstruct the metaphors behind the pages and discuss how they reflect societal issues of race, gender, and geopolitical authority in American history.
