Book Description
En este curso de anatomía, el genial dúo Olivetti-Canale brinda una serie de conocimientos indispensables para adentrarse en el mundo del cómic. Gran parte del éxito de un cómic, especialmente de uno de tipo americano, está depositado en el dibujo de la figura humana. Los superhéroes suelen ser personas que, cambiándose el traje, adquieren poderes sobrenaturales. En este libro, los maestros cuentan el secreto: no inventar músculos que no están allí sino potenciar los existentes. Esta segunda edición ampliada añade nuevos aspectos: modelos de cabezas de héroes y villanos, de manos y modelos completos vistos desde diferentes perspectivas. También incluye un insert a todo color con trabajos realizados en colaboración entre Olivetti y Canale. Sarlo captura escenas cotidianas y las mira en detalle, como si fueran textos que deben ser interrogados en su densidad. En los pliegues de pequeñas narraciones, de descripciones y prácticas, señala nudos de sentido que no siempre son dichos o escuchados. Tiempo presente agrupa textos sobre diversos temas. Pero, a medida que la lectura avanza, se encuentra el hilo conductor: una visión comprometida y crítica sobre el mundo actual y una discusión permanente con lo que la autora ha llamado el "populismo celebratorio". Los motivos que Sarlo encuentra para realizar su ejercicio crítico son las nuevas formas de la ciudad, la Guerra de Malvinas, el Mundial del 78, la sociedad de consumo, Rodrigo, Soledad, la new age, la izquierda, la política, el mercado y el Estado, los intelectuales, las identidades culturales, el prejuicio. Intensa y a veces irónica, alejada de toda nostalgia, Sarlo toma partido y nos invita a preguntarnos por los cambios en la cultura y el modo inexorable en que repercuten sobre nuestra vida cotidiana.

Book Description
This penultimate work in John Lent's series of bibliographies on comic art gathers together an astounding array of citations on American cartoonists and their work. Author John Lent has used all manner of methods to gather the citations, searching library and online databases, contacting scholars and other professionals, attending conferences and festivals, and scanning hundreds of periodicals. He has gone to great length to categorize the citations in an easy-to-use, scholarly fashion, and in the process, has helped to establish the field of comic art as an important part of social science and humanities research. The ten volumes in this series, covering all regions of the world, constitute the largest printed bibliography of comic art in the world, and serve as the beacon guiding the burgeoning fields of animation, comics, and cartooning. They are the definitive works on comic art research, and are exhaustive in their inclusiveness, covering all types of publications (academic, trade, popular, fan, etc.) from all over the world. Also included in these books are citations to systematically-researched academic exercises, as well as more ephemeral sources such as fanzines, press articles, and fugitive materials (conference papers, unpublished documents, etc.), attesting to Lent's belief that all pieces of information are vital in a new field of study such as comic art.

Book Description
How twenty-first-century Latin American comics transgress social, political, and cultural frontiers. Given comics’ ability to cross borders, Latin American creators have used the form to transgress the political, social, spatial, and cultural borders that shape the region. A groundbreaking and comprehensive study of twenty-first-century Latin American comics, Latin American Comics in the Twenty-First Century documents how these works move beyond national boundaries and explores new aspects of the form, its subjects, and its creators. Latin American comics production is arguably more interconnected and more networked across national borders than ever before. Analyzing works from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay, James Scorer organizes his study around forms of “transgression,” such as transnationalism, border crossings, transfeminisms, punk bodies, and encounters in the neoliberal city. Scorer examines the feminist comics collective Chicks on Comics; the DIY comics zine world; nonfiction and journalistic comics; contagion and zombie narratives; and more. Drawing from archives across the United States, Europe, and Latin America, Latin American Comics in the Twenty-First Century posits that these comics produce micronarratives of everyday life that speak to sites of social struggle shared across nation states.

Book Description
“American Shield” es una historia típicamente americano sobre el deber y la determinación — maravillosamente contada por un inmigrante, un veterano de guerra, y un patriota.” Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Emerita de la House of Representatives de los Estados Unidos Aquilino Gonell era un jóven cuando llegó a los Estados Unidos de la República Dominicana. Aunque no hablaba inglés, se dedicó a su nueva tierra adoptada, luchando para conseguir el dichoso sueño americano. Su resolución de lograr una vida de éxito le llevó a alistarse en el ejército, como manera de pagar sus estudios universitarios. Tras combatir en Irak, volvió a los EEUU con TEPT, pero siguió con confianza en las promesas del gobierno, y se concentró en su familia y en el proceso de sanarse. Sus labores dieron fruto cuando ganó un puesto muy codiciado con la United States Capitol Police, en la ciudad de Washington DC, y llegó al rango de sargento. Todo cambió para siempre el 6 de enero de 2021. Cuando los insurreccionistas irrumpieron en el Capitolio, con mucha valentía el sargento Gonell no se rindió a los que intentaron frustrar la transferencia pacífica de poder. Las heridas brutales que sufrió aquel día pondría fin a su carrera como agente de policía. Pero justo cuando algunos de los mismos políticos que el sargento defendía intentaron desmentir la verdadera historia de aquel día, él eligió denunciar la injusticia que sufría al igual que el país. Una crónica de lo que significa llevar una vida de principios, una que se adhiere a las mejores nociones de nuestra democracia, American Shield es un testimonio fulgurante del poder la verdad, la justicia y la responsabilidad de la boca de un oficial decorado e inmigrante que ilustra las mejores aspiraciones de una nación agradecida.
