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 Joaqui?n 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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aIlluminations (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 606 $aNational characteristics, Latin American, in literature 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$zLatin America$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGraphic novels$zLatin America$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCollective memory in literature 606 $aPopular culture and literature$zLatin America 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Latin American, in literature. 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGraphic novels$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCollective memory in literature. 615 0$aPopular culture and literature 676 $a741.5/98 702 $aCatala?-Carrasco$b Jorge L. 702 $aDrinot$b Paulo 702 $aScorer$b James$f1978- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466516303321 996 $aComics and memory in Latin America$92473666 997 $aUNINA
