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,
posits that these comics produce micronarratives of everyday life that speak to sites of social struggle shared across nation states.
