Esto implica prestar atención a los factores estructurales, considerando que la historieta nace como parte de la industria cultural y dependiente del campo del mercado. Pero también damos importancia a las prácticas de construcción de los actores que forman parte del campo y que, en determinadas situaciones históricas, introducen modificaciones importantes y momentos de alta autonomía de lo económico. Destacamos el período de la segunda mitad los cincuentas con la aparición de la historieta de autor, la dictadura y la apertura democrática y, desde los noventa, la historieta independiente. Abstract: we analyze the field of the realistic Argentine comics. This implies to attend the structural factors, considering that comics were born as part of the cultural industry and subordinated to the market field. But also we give importance to the actors construction practices, as a part of the field, who, in certain historical situations, introduce important modifications and moments of high autonomy of the economic field.

Coordinador i comissari de la mostra Pocs autors han estat tan prop d’unir en un de sol aquests tres conceptes: autor, vida i obra. Aquest és el cas d’Hugo Pratt, a qui Umberto Eco va definir com un dels grans ar- tistes del segle XX, capaç de fer literatura amb el dibuix i dibuixar amb les paraules. Definint a grans trets l’obra de l’autor de Corto Maltés, es podria dir que va realitzar cò- mics que podria llegir el públic adolescent i ser apreciats al mateix temps per un professor universitari. I ho feia amb di- buixos d’una bellesa i tècnica narrativa exuberant, explicant histories cultes, però alhora apassionants i entretingudes. El 1967, abans de crear aquesta joia de la historieta mundial en què s’ha convertit Corto Maltés, Hugo Pratt ja comptava amb tot un món de viatges, aventures i filosofia.I tot aquest bagatge el va utilitzar per a donar vida al marí que es con- vertiria en el seu alter ego.

Oesterheld’s Iconic and Ironic Eternautas Abstract When speaking of Héctor Germán Oesterheld and his Eternautas series of comics, we are speaking of multiple and interlocking levels of icons. Oesterheld first began the historieta [comic] about the time-traveling Juan Salvo, known as the “Eternauta,” in the late 1950s, later revisiting it in the 1960s and 1970s. In the three Eternauta narratives in question,1 a group of intrepid technologically savvy individuals struggle against a deadly phosphorescent snowfall and a series of alien species only to have the news of their local victory obliterated by nuclear devastation and alien treachery. Attempts to avoid this near-future reality for Buenos Aires and/or the reconstruction of the city occupy the later installments of the series.

América En Las Historietas De Hugo Pratt / Guzmán Urrero Peña
América en las historietas de Hugo Pratt Por su talento como narrador y dibujante, pero también por el caudal de rigurosa documentación que emplea en su obra, Hugo Pratt ha sido protagonista de análisis de todo orden. El punto clave para entender ese reconocimiento, aparte de sus facultades artísticas, reside en la consisten cia de un personaje, Corto Maltes, hombre de acción, anarquista, caba llero de fortuna y aficionado a los saberes heterodoxos. Trazar las rutas de ese nómada se vuelve complejo, pues lo mismo aprecia el paisaje pampeano que las selvas más tupidas. De Bahía a la Patagonia, este hijo tardío de London acaba por descubrir nuevos lugares en los que desen tenderse de la modernidad. Pero su creador también alimenta una imagen de hombre de acción semejante a la del héroe de sus relatos. Es posible pensar en una idealización de su biografía, no exenta de riesgos y situa ciones asombrosas. Tal vez ello explique las constantes interferencias entre realidad y fantasía detectables en toda la producción dedicada al citado personaje. Hugo Pratt nace en las cercanías de Rimini el 15 de junio de 1927. El padre, Rolando Pratt, es de ascendencia anglosajona, en tanto que su madre, Evelina Genero, pertenece por línea paterna a la familia judía Zeno-Toledano. Entre los ancestros más lejanos del pequeño hay france ses, españoles y turcos. Si a ese cosmopolitismo genealógico sumamos la afición de los progenitores por el esoterismo en todas sus manifesta ciones, no será difícil descubrir el venero del que más adelante surgirán posteriores argumentos. De la infancia en Venecia quedan los recuerdos de una casa amplia, permanentemente ocupada por algún huésped, y las primeras lecturas, a mitad de camino entre las mitologías europeas y los clásicos de la aventura juvenil.

BALL It could be argued that the most significant development in twenty-first- century global comics emerged from the pages of a regional newspaper in the suburbs of Arhus, on the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. In September of 2005, the Jyllands-Posten - a newspaper with a circulation of 120,000 readers - solicited representations of the Prophet Mohammed from members of a Danish newspaper illustrators’ union. Published in response to an author’s professed inability to secure an illustrator for a children’s book on the Qur’an, the resulting twelve images were amplified and disseminated digitally, setting off international protests in waves timed to republication efforts in the name of free speech. None of these was more visible than that of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Both horrifying violence, first in protests throughout the Muslim-majority world and later directed at the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo, and the proliferation of images, on all sides of the spectrum from abso lutist appeals to free speech to the aniconism of some Muslims, have emerged in the aftermath.

INTRODUCTION Hark Well, O Reader, Because Your Ears Will Not Be Fed
INTRODUCTION Hark well, O reader, because your ears will not be fed with lies. It was the early Seventeenth Century and it was America. As writers, by the power that is rightfully ours, we will be telling a tale that is much older than our times and much farther away than where we find ourselves now. On that very day, two men were walking side by side, following the Old Slow River’s dark waters. Hugo Pratt from fabled Venice, and Milo Manara from Verona of romantic fame they were, and they were men of tales, of words and pictures. This is how Indian Summer is introduced to Italian readers in the early Nineteen Eighties, with a foreword penned by James Fenimore Cooper himself – or maybe, as many suspect, by his greatest Italian admirer, comics writer and artist Hugo Pratt. By that time, Pratt is already a well-established and revered creator everywhere comics (fumetti, bandes dessinées, historietas, quadrinhos) are sold: his Ballad of the Salt Sea (1967)'s impressive roster of unforgetable characters has won readers' hearts and Corto Maltese, the Ballad's main character, is a world-recognized icon of individual freedom and longing for liberty and adventure (the Ballad ranks 62 in the "100 Books of the Century" list compiled in 1999 by French newspaper Le Monde, where titles like On the Road, The Martian Chronicles, The Catcher in the Rye and The Big Sleep rank 67, 70, 88 and 96, respectively). A long, fascinating and almost hypnotic tale set on remote Pacific seas on the eve of WWI, and marked by Hugo Pratt's trademark "camera eye" and stylized linework, drawing both from Milton Caniff's seminal black & white and the Argentinian scene Pratt had been part of in the Nineteen Fifties, to many the Ballad is the definitive graphic novel.
