  • Mafalda and Women's Rights
    Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies, 2020 Vol. 4, No. 1, 80-102 Mafalda and Women’s Rights: A Canvass of the Sixties Mariana De Maio Lehigh University [email protected] Nathian Shae Rodríguez San Diego State University [email protected] Comic strips have often been avenues of cultural, social, and political expression. A strip born in Argentina during the 1960s, Mafalda, became a worldwide phenomenon emblematic of the struggling urban middle classes and the challenges faced by women. Employing incongruity theory with a feminist lens, this paper analyzes Mafalda within its sociopolitical and cultural context. The analysis suggests the comic strip contained the following four prominent themes: women’s rights; patriarchy and education; mundane domesticity; and Argentine class system and the bourgeoisie. The study has theoretical implications for media scholars who study the use of humor as a persuasive strategy and the role of satire in political communication. It also has practical implications for feminists and social justice activists who seek new ways to engage potential sympathizers to their causes. Keywords: comic strips, feminism, women’s rights, Mafalda, Argentina, incongruity theory Las tiras cómicas a menudo han sido vías de expresión cultural, social y política. Una tira nacida en Argentina en la década del sesenta, Mafalda, se convirtió en un emblema mundial de las disminuidas clases medias urbanas y de los retos enfrentados por las mujeres. Con base en la teoría de la incongruencia considerada desde una perspectiva feminista, este estudio examina Mafalda dentro de su contexto sociopolítico y cultural. El planteamiento sugiere que la tira cómica destaca cuatro temas: los derechos de la mujer, el patriarcado y la educación, la domesticidad mundana y, por último, el sistema argentino de clase y la burguesía.

Discussing the ways in which Flaherty prearranged character interactions and informally scripted many of the scenarios that would ultimately feature in his films, camera assistant John Taylor later recalled for filmmaker George Stoney that he wrote in his notebooks at the time the word “mockumentary” to describe this creative treatment of the nonfictional material How( ).

  • Comic Strips and Black Newspapers in Postwar Toledo
    Swing Papa and Barry Jordan: Comic Strips and Black Newspapers in Postwar Toledo Angela M. Nelson Introduction Popular culture reflects, symbolizes, and embodies the thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and values of its producers and audiences.1 Popular culture is that part of all culture that is concerned with pleasure, enjoy- ment, and amusement. Comic art is a form of popular culture dating back to the early 1890s. After the turn of the century, comic strips2 had become a permanent part of white mainstream newspapers and magazines, but black newspapers overall were not as agreeable to their inclusion.3 In short, black newspapers focused their attention on the “serious” issues confronting blacks of that period. However, with the advent of large circula- tion newspapers especially published for black communities coupled with the established tradition of comic strips in major newspapers, many editors of black newspapers began encouraging the inclusion of comic strips.4 The Baltimore Afro-American, Chicago Defender, and Pittsburgh Courier were the leading large circulating black newspapers that included black comic strips following World War I.5 Scholarly essays or chapters written by John Appel, Ian Gordon, Thomas Inge, Steven Jones, John Stevens, and Roland Wolseley examine blacks in comic strips in mainstream newspapers and magazines and/or black comic strips in black newspapers.6 Together these writings are useful for providing descriptive information about black comic strips and charac- ters that are not well-known, for providing comparisons of white and ethnic representations in comic strips, and for bringing attention and structure to this area of study within the field of comic art scholarship.
