| Abstract | "Spanish comics have attracted considerable critical attention internationally: dissertations have been written, monographs published, and an array of cultural institutions in Spain (the media, publishing houses, bookstores, museums, and archives) have increasingly promoted the pleasures, pertinence, and power of graphic narrative to an ever-expanding readership - all in an area of cultural production that was held, until recently, to be the stuff of child's play, the unenlightened, or the unsophisticated. This volume takes up the overarching charge of examining how contemporary comics in Spain have confronted questions of cultural legitimacy through serious and timely engagement with diverse themes, forms, and approaches - a collective undertaking which, while keenly in step with transnational theoretical trends, foregrounds local, regional, and national dimensions particular to the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century Spanish milieu. From memory and history to the economic and the political, and from the body and personal space to mental geography, the essays collected in Consequential Art account for several key ways in which a range of comics practitioners in Spain have deployed the image-text connection and alternative ways of seeing to interrogate some of the most significant cultural issues that Spain has faced since 1990."-- Provided by publisher. |
