The ninth art has come of age and its codes and narratives have been generalised beyond the children's audiences with which it has long been associated. Comics tell stories, present complex problems with their own aesthetic and linguistic forms and approach two of the pillars of culture and collective identity, history and literature.
This course will review the ways in which comics have appropriated historical and literary stories, how they have interacted with them from their own parameters and how they can be used as an instrument of knowledge dissemination, of knowledge, of criticism and of teaching. For this purpose, specialists in history and literature will be present, but above all comic authors and scriptwriters, as well as teachers from teaching secondary schools, and all of this at framework during the celebration of the Navarra Comic Fair.
Course directors: Francisco Javier Caspistegui Gorasurreta and Concepción Martínez Pasamar
Dates: 15-16-17 September 2022
