Benoît Peeters: “I try to show the stages of the slow legitimization” of comics


Benoît Peeters, in 2021.

The 9th art enters the College de France. This academic institution, created in 1530, provides lectures open to all. And for the first time, comic strips made their entrance there. Until June 2023, scriptwriter and theoretician Benoît Peeters will give courses and seminars on the “poetics of comics”. He gave his inaugural lesson last Thursday (a lesson that can be found on the Collège de France website).
