Despite lack of funding and institutional support, not since the mid-twentieth century have comics in the region been so dynamic, so diverse and so engaged with pressing social and cultural issues. Comics are being used as essential tools in debates about, for example, digital cultures, gender identities and political disenfranchisement. Rather than analysing the current boom in comics by focusing just on the printed text, however, this book looks at diverse manifestations of comics ?beyond the page?. Contributors explore digital comics and social media networks; comics as graffiti and stencil art in public spaces; comics as a tool for teaching architecture or processing social trauma; and the consumption and publishing of comics as forms of shaping national, social and political identities. Bringing together authors from across Latin America and beyond, and covering examples from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay, the book sets out a panoramic vision of Latin American comics, whether in terms of scholarly contribution, geographical diversity or interdisciplinary methodologies. 410 0$aModer.n Americas. 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00869145 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$zLatin America$xHistory and criticism 607 $aLatin America$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc. 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a741.59 702 $aScorer$b James 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910379655303321 996 $aComics Beyond the Page in Latin America$91925097 997 $aUNINA
