Diversity in comics: drawings, characters, stories and paths

Abstract

Between comics and diversity - as between diversity, cartoons and comic films - there is an almost direct link of concordance and overlapping or, also, of inextricable intertwining. There are bases of historical affirmation of the medium, since the end of the 19^th century, which testify to the existence of this trend, but there are also others of a structural nature through which comics reveal the perimeter of perceptual as well as anthropological and cultural diversity that designates the everyday and peculiar life of modern, technological, bourgeois, capitalist society (in the discards or in the links of continuity and rupture - sometimes small or great revolutions - that frame its advances and internal changes). It presents a reflexive analysis of the diversity of comics from different study variables.
