A voz do oud. Criação de espaços multiculturais e a reivindicação da voz ao “outro” na banda desenhada francófona contemporânea

Abstract

Comics constitute a wide but culturally underrecognized artistic field. It has produced, however, some examples of works able to commit to the cultural emancipation of those who use it as their own voice. In order to understand how comics can contribute to the reclaiming of their own voice by the “other” or the “subaltern”, this paper engages with two sets of comics work by two French-Algerian authors, FaridBoudjellal and KamelKhélif, and reads them through several analytical tools developed within the interdisciplinary realm of Culture Theory. Keywords: recognition, subaltern, self/other, liminal spaces, emancipatory statement, comics and migration.
