- Summary:
- "Comics in Latin America have been most often been studied on a country-by-country basis, say as Mexican comics or Argentine or Brazilian. In this book, James Scorer instead is examining them across the region, writing the first comprehensive study of 21st-century Latin American comics. Contemporary comics creators, who are increasingly women, trans, or non-binary, have been organizing around transnational networks and so, despite occasional push-back, are moving beyond nationalistic boundaries to explore new aspects of the medium and new subjects and themes that transgress the political, social, spatial, and cultural borders that often define the region. Using examples primarily from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay, Scorer organizes his study around this notion of border crossings and focuses on topics of transnationalism, transgender feminisms, transgressive punk bodies, contagious bodies (in regards to both zombies and pandemics), and the neoliberal city"-- Provided by publisher.
