This volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from Latin America both view and express memory formation on major historical events and processes. The contributors, from a variety of disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, and history, explore topics including national identity construction, narratives of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, the construction of revolutionary traditions, and the legacies of authoritarianism and political violence. The chapters offer a background history of comics and graphic novels in the region, and survey a range of countries and artists such as Joaquín Salvador Lavado (a.k.a Quino), Hector G. Oesterheld, and Juan Acevedo. They also highlight the unique ability of this art and literary form to succinctly render memory. In sum, this volume offers in-depth analysis of an understudied, yet key literary genre in Latin American memory studies and documents the essential role of comics during the transition from dictatorship to democracy"--Provided by publisher.Illuminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.)National characteristics, Latin American, in literatureComic books, strips, etcLatin AmericaHistory and criticismGraphic novelsLatin AmericaHistory and criticismCollective memory in literaturePopular culture and literatureLatin AmericaNational characteristics, Latin American, in literature.Comic books, strips, etc.History and criticism.Graphic novelsHistory and criticism.Collective memory in literature.Popular culture and literature741.5/98LIT004100HIS024000bisacshCatalá-Carrasco Jorge L.Drinot PauloScorer James1978-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823506403321Comics and memory in Latin America4037297UNINA
