Comic from reading education: confluences, questions and challenges for the research

Abstract

The authors carry out a critical overview of the research on comics and the training of readers based on the analysis of the academic discourse generated around the subject of study. Their research reviews the concomitances and intersections between comics and literary education and children's and young people's literature and they reflects on the consequences, debates and prejudices that this interrelation has generated in relation to their academic and social status. Likewise, they rigorously examine the main problems that cross-sectional research on the comic strip, derived among others, from the complexity of its definition, its epistemological location and ascription to mass culture and the child receptor from the framework of reading and literary education.
