Description
Will engage in war-themed literature, especially with visual literacy in the way of graphic novels and comics, poems, non-fiction and fiction. Unique to the project is the fact that various branches of the U.S. Military are creating pre-deployment graphic novels and comics (visual works) that replace text manuals. In addition, national veterans' affairs organizations are offering post-deployment animated visuals to mitigate military stress. Themes include honor, camaraderie, displacement, mental gaps during moments of trauma, and the second shock of homecoming. Veterans will spark engagement by reading reflections from their journals of experiences to encourage further groups and dialogue. The words of participants will be recorded for the visually impaired if they so desire. Conflicts will largely focus on the vietnam war, and those in iraq and afghanistan.]
