Primero se realiza un breve recorrido histórico por los

times. Secondly, the main characteristics of the Argentine

"De la Exaltación del Nacionalismo en la Historieta Colombiana

L'Hoeste. p. 141-153 in Revista Latinoamericana de Estudios
Sobre la Historieta, v. 7, no. 27 (Sept. 2007). --
"Resumen: Este texto analiza el caso de Hombres de acero,
una historieta patrocinada por el ejército colombiana con
el ánimo de mejorar la imagen de la institución castrense a
fines de la década del noventa y comienzos de este siglo.
El articulo detalla cómo mediante la historieta, se
promueve un entendimiento reductivo de una disposición
nacionalista. En su contexto, los militares figuran cual
adalides inmaculados de la patria, el honor y las buenas
costumbres, confiriéndole una importancia desmedida a la
filiación estatal. No obstante, en el marco del conflicto
civil, de reconocida dificultad, semejante diagramación
plantea riesgos identitarios de gran trasendencia, dada la
restringida articulación de la colombianidad." --
"Abstract: This text discusses the case of Hombres de Acero
(Men of Steel), a comic strip sponsored by the Colombian
army, hoping to improve its image during the late 1990s and
early 2000s. The article details the promotion of a
reductive understanding of nationalism through this kind of
comics. Within the publication's context, the military
appear as immaculate champions of the motherland, honor,
and good customs, granting considerable weight to official
affiliation. Nevertheless, in the context of the civil
conflict of renowned complexity, such a portrayal involves
transcending risks in terms of identity, given the
astringent articulation of Colombian nationality." --

"El Caipira de Todos Nosotros : La Construcción de Sentido de
un Tipo Brasileño en las Historietas" / Gêisa Fernandes
D'Oliviera. p. 154-164 in Revista Latinoamericana de
Estudios Sobre la Historieta, v. 7, no. 27 (Sept. 2007). --
"Resumen: La tipicidad del hombre del interior como un ser
dotado de innocencia, de una forma distinta, no sólo de
vivir, sino de entender el mundo, no puede ser considerada
como un privilegio del Brasil, porque puede hallarse en
otras culturas diversas. No obstante, la figura del caipira
tiene mucho del imaginario brasileño, asumiendo
significados múltiples. Partiendo de la comparación del
figura del caipira en varios lenguajes, el presente
articulo traza un panorama de la evolución de este
personaje y su desarrollo en las historietas. A través del
personaje de Chico Bento, creado por Mauricio de Sousa,
podremos conocer la forma por la cual de construcción de
sentido en el lenguaje de las historietas se convierte en
un camino posible para manifestar una identidad nacional,
reuniendo elementos que pueden ser aceptados como propios
de una brasilidad y como estos, se relacionan con las
potencialidades y los límites de representación de su
imagen." -- "Abstract: it is certainly not unique of
Brazilian culture to describe country people and their
environment in an idyllic way. Nevertheless, Brazilian
country men (caipiras) are part of a myriad of
representations, assuming multiple significances. Comparing
the representation of caipiras in different artistic ways,
the present article builds a panorama of its evolution
mainly concerning its development in comics. We analyze the
Brazilian author Mauricio de Sousa, specifically his
character Chico Bento (Chucky Billy) and the links of this
comic figure to a certain national identity. Developing the
discussion on theoretical bases we can affirm to which
extent images influence and are influenced by reality,
according to its own limits and potentialities." --

"Pasiones y Temores de la Historieta Popular Mexicana" / Alij
Aquetza Anaya López. p. 165-176 in Revista Latinoamericana
de Estudios Sobre la Historieta, v. 7, no. 27 (Sept. 2007).
-- "Resumen: La historieta popular mexicana del siglo
pasado explotó desde sus páginas una serie de pasiones y de
temores latentes en el país a propósito del amor, el
dinero, la pobreza y la fe. Hay en ella la apuesta de
mostrar una sociedad sujeta al pavor de no alcanzar jamás
los ideales de felicidad imaginados. Ante este postura
ciertamente limitada, el sector humoristico reaccionó
pintando una sociedad preocupada más por el sabor que por
el saber y el poder. La lucha entre ambos bloques
(melodrama humor) de la historieta popular mexicano puede
ser interpretad a como el enfrentamiento entre la capacidad
popular de resistir y crear nuevas posibilidades de vida o
de simplemente adherirse a las experiencias ya instituídas.
¿La cultura popular mexicana caminó el siglo pasado desde
el equilibrio emocional o desde el desparpajo risueño y
creativo? Si bien la respuesta no es del todo alentadora,
tampoco es completament abrumadora." -- "Abstract: The
Mexican popular comic of the last century exuded from its
pages a series of passions and latent fears in the country
concerning love, money, poverty and faith. The comics show
a society subject to the panic of never reaching imagined
ideal happiness. In the face of this portrayal, the humor
sector reacted by painting a society more concerned with
the flavor of life than with knowledge and power. The
tension between both tendencies (melodrama-humor) can be
interpreted as confrontation of the power to resist and
create new possiblilties for life, with adhering to
established ways. Was Mexican popular culture of the last
century concerned with maintaining emotional balance, or
with encouraging creative self-confidence? Although the
answer is not completely encouraging, neither is it totally
overwhelming." -- Abstracts as printed with the article,

27 (Sept. 2007). -- "Resumen: Fernando Krahn es un notable
artista chileno, de interesante biografia, que ha
desarrollado su carrera principalmente en el extranjero.
Sus dibujos tienen una lectura universal. Sorprende su
intuición politítica/poética y su intención humoristica que
se nutre de la precariedad humana. La inquietante realidad
puede ser aún más inquietante, luego de someterse a la
risueña sordidez de su mirada. La realidad, que es
tragicómica, no tiene límites especialmente en sus
magnificos 'Dramagramas' y la fantasia tampoco en sus
premiados ilustraciones para literatura infantil." --
"Abstract: Frenando Krahn is a notable Chilean artist, with
an interesting backgound, who has mainly developed his
career outside of his country. His drawings have a
universal significance. His political and poetic intuition
and his humourous intent that feed on human precariousness
are marvelous. Disquieting reality can be even more so
after exposure to the smiling sordidness of his stare.
Reality, both tragic and comic, is limitless especially in
his magnificent 'Dramagrmas,' as is the fantasy in his
award-winning illustrations for children's literature." --

Coming Out, Again : Transition stories / Sabrina Symington. --
London : Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2021. -- 1 v. : col.
ill. ; 26 cm. -- "We don't just come out once. We have to
come out continually throughout our lives. And as we grow
and change and reach a newfound understanding of who we
are, we come out once again in a whole new way. Following
the interconnected lives of a diverse queer community,
including asexual, polyamorous, trans and autigender
people, this empowering graphic novel explores the
multitude of ways a person's identity and relationships can
be expressed and can change over time. From Lily coming out
as a lesbian after coming out as a trans woman, to Leanne
embracing their genderqueer identity in later life, to Ty
navigating their queerness with their autistic identity,
these stories illustrate how life lived at the intersection
of gender, sexuality, race and class is often a journey
with many chapters. Full of love and pride - as well as
tips and advice, these witty, tender and inspiring
narratives prove there is no wrong way to be who you are,
so long as you are being true to yourself." -- Keywords
include: sexual minorities, transgender people, gender
identity. -- Call no.: PN6733.S87 C6 2021

Patience & Esther : an Edwardian Romance / by S.W. Searle. --
Chicago, Illinois : Iron Circus Comics, 2020. -- 327 p. :
col. ill. ; 21 cm. -- Bonus materials include: Bonus comics
A sweet distress and Ten years ; Behind the scenes,
author's notes on the research and creation of Patience &
Esther. -- Summary (from OCLC): Patience is a kindhearted
country girl, eking out a living in Edwardian England as
tremors of social change rock the world around her. When
she starts her employment in formal service on the grounds
of an opulent country manor, she has no idea that her own
personal revolution is about to begin. Selfless, dutiful,
and just a touch naive, she takes to both her place as a
parlor maid and to her new roommate, the bookish and
progressive lady's maid, Esther. In another time, the two
women would have kept one another's company forever in
their little attic bedroom, living out their days in the
employ of a Lord. But it's now the dawn of a new age. The
expanding empire has brought with it not only plundered
wealth, but worldliness and new ideas. Suffragists agitate
in the street, idle-rich bohemians challenge sexual mores,
and Patience and Esther slowly come to realize the world is
wider and full of more adventure and opportunity than they
ever imagined ... so long as they find the will to seize
it. Sensual, sweet, and beautifully illustrated, Patience &
Esther is a steamy period romance and an inspirational
erotic journey across the epic sweep of history, from the
end of a gilded age to the start of an uncharted future. --
