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."-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. |zSpain |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. |xSocial aspects |zSpain. 650 7 Comic books, strips, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 Comic books, strips, etc. |xSocial aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00869173 651 7 Spain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204303 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 Amago, Samuel, |d1974- |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2006030591 700 1 Marr, Matthew J., |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010167229 830 0 Toronto Iberic ; |v45. 852 0 |bf |hPN6775 |i.C677 2019 902 yj |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20190920 904 yj |ba |hm |cb |e20190920 914 (OCoLC)on1089012453 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f1089012453
