Abstract

PIACENTI, Raquel Cardonha  and  MARTINS, Maria do Carmo. Mafalda and school: Argentinian education representations in five comic strips by Quino. LTP [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.72, pp.43-58. ISSN 2317-0972.  https://doi.org/10.5965/0102-387Xv36n72201800058.

Although comic book stories have been recognized by both its scope and the ability to communicate ideologies and conflicts, they have still been little explored as a source by researchers in general. Only in the 1970s studies started questioning the absence of comics of academic fields and its classification as gender less. This article considers the comics as an important cultural manifestation that represents a certain time and context. In this scenario, we have analyzed their visual impact and we have related Mafalda - the icon of historietas - and the Argentinian education at the time that was produced. In addition to the representations of the school environment, the dialogue with this source is presented by articulating historical studies and the studies on visual culture, recognizing the specificities of the source in its aesthetic characteristics and as cultural and artistic production in order to propose readings and interpretations.

Keywords : History of Education; Visual Culture; Comics.
