Book excerpt: The meaning and mechanics of myth have been of constant concern inscholarship. Tales and legends challenge us to find a sense and purposeconcealed in their apparent nonsense and that challenge is met in thiscompanion volume to Kewa Tales. Describing eighty tales, theauthor explains how they are fabricated from recurrent narrativesequences, logical structures, and aesthetic metaphors. To do so, hedraws on the formalism of Propp, the structuralism of Levi-Strauss, andwritings on poetics and metaphor. But, holding tales to be mirrors ormodels for daily life, he also demonstrates an intimate connectionbetween narrative structure and ethnographic settings.

Book Synopsis Comics and Memory in Latin America by : Jorge Catalá Carrasco
Download or read book Comics and Memory in Latin America written by Jorge Catalá Carrasco. This book was released on 2017-07-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American comics and graphic novels have a unique history of addressing controversial political, cultural, and social issues. This volume presents new perspectives on how comics on and from Latin America both view and express memory formation on major historical events and processes. The contributors, from a variety of disciplines including literary theory, cultural studies, and history, explore topics including national identity construction, narratives of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, the construction of revolutionary traditions, and the legacies of authoritarianism and political violence. The chapters offer a background history of comics and graphic novels in the region, and survey a range of countries and artists such as Joaquin Salvador Lavado (a.k.a Quino), Hector G. Oesterheld, and Juan Acevedo. They also highlight the unique ability of this art and literary form to succinctly render memory. In sum, this volume offers in-depth analysis of an understudied, yet key literary genre in Latin American memory studies and documents the essential role of comics during the transition from dictatorship to democracy.
