| description | This essay argues that analysis of Mexico’s visual culture generally, and the graphic novels of Edgar Clement specifically, can be usefully situated within the politics of patrimonio cultural. Mexico’s 20th century graphic arts heritage has undergone a transformation during the past several decades, elevating the commercial comic book tradition to a greater position of prestige and public visibility than the more politically engaged revolutionary art forms inherited from the same period. In this context, Clement’s Los perros salvajes (2012) appropriates the comic book character Memín Pingüín in the service of social and political critique.
La cultura visual de México y, por ende, las novelas gráficas de Edgar Clement, pueden ubicarse de manera útil dentro de la política del ‘patrimonio cultural’. La herencia gráfica mexicana del siglo xx ha experimentado una transformación durante las décadas más recientes, elevando la tradición comercial de la historieta a una posición de prestigio y de visibilidad pública mayor que la de las formas revolucionarias heredadas del mismo período. Dentro de este contexto, Los perros salvajes (2012) de Clement se apropia de la figura de la historieta Memín Pingüín para plantear una crítica social y política de las condiciones nacionales. |
