| Resumo: | "Comics and Migration: Representation and Other Practices (2023)" is a significant contribution to the studies on migration and comics. The book explores the visual and narrative representation of migrants, the cultural practices involved in the creation of comics, and the social impact of these narratives. The work highlights how comics can serve as tools for activism and awareness, influencing public opinion and promoting social change. The analysis includes case studies that illustrate the practical application of theory, covering both autobiographies of migrants and symbolic and metaphorical fiction works. The diversity of perspectives presented offers a comprehensive view of migratory experiences, emphasizing the importance of comics in shaping cultural identities and promoting intercultural dialogues. Additionally, the book addresses the communicative power of comics in technical and professional contexts, such as official contracts for migrant workers. Examples in educational and community contexts demonstrate the potential of comics to promote understanding and inclusion. The ability to simplify and amplify messages through comics, as discussed by McCloud, is evidenced throughout the work. The book's comprehensive and detailed approach makes it an indispensable resource for scholars and those interested in the dynamics between migration and comics. This essential work promotes empathy, inclusion, and social change through art. |
