Associated Students contacted me this morning to notify me that their file for our course reader was corrupt, and therefore they are reprinting all of the readers. However, they have printed out a complimentary packet for you containing two weeks worth of reading material.
Please stop by the Associated Students window to pick yours up. It will contain the following essays:
For October 2 & 4:
• Carl Matheson: The Simpsons, Hyper-Irony and the Meaning of Life
• Kelly L. Richardson. “Simpsons Did It!”: South Park and the Intertextuality of Contemporary Animation
• Joanna Woods-Marsden. Cindy Sherman’s Reworking of Raphael’s ‘Fornarina’ and Caravaggio’s ‘Bacchus’
• Michel Foucault. This is Not a Pipe (Excerpt)
• Scott McCloud: The Vocabulary of Comics
(Excerpt)
For October 9 & 11:
• Walter Benjamin: The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
• Marshall McLuhan: The Medium is the Message

The new course readers should be available starting on Tuesday, October 2, but this packet will have you covered through October 11.
