| description | A systematic analysis of a great corpus of various hundred comics dealing with the Spanish Civil War brings informations both about the war itself and about societies which remember it. It shows collective perceptions that are different according to countries and evolve over time, comparable to those identified by the conflict’s memory specialists using other sources such as political speeches, novels or films. This validates comics as pertinent sources for historians or sociologists, but also put our own representation of the war into perspective, as not more than the look of “here and today”. The growing interest of researchers for the topic goes hand in hand with the risk that the process of selection and ranking previous to the canonization of respectable but too consensual comics may reduce the field of research and limit the depth, accuracy and universality of the reflection. |
