Choose one of the following options:

1) Consider how the form of the graphic novel contributes to the way Persepolis figures transnationalism.

2) How does Ong’s conception of the transnational compare with those developed by others we’ve studied so far this semester? Discuss some of the key differences in her formulation of the transnational. Do you see similarities as well?

3) How does Shohat approach the problem of asymmetries in knowledge production? Compare her discussion with the first chapter of Ong’s book.
