This volume was born and developed during the critical years of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global lockdown. In a spirit of community and collective action, it offers insights into the complexity of the political imagination and its cultural scope within Spanish graphic narrative through the lens of global political and social movements.
The chapters reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the comic within the overarching methodology focusing on political and social intervention. They employ a cultural studies approach with different theoretical frameworks ranging from debates within comics studies, film and media theory, postcolonialism, gender studies, economics, multimodality, aging aesthetics, memory studies, food studies, and sound studies, among others.
This truly interdisciplinary volume will interest scholars and students of comics studies, Iberian and Latin American Studies, sociology, politics, and history.
