Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi, Amanda,
I don’t know if this helps, but I recently wrote an essay about comics for publication, and I had to get permission to use them. I got lucky because one of them was creator-owned, so I could just contact her through Twitter, but the other was owned by Dynamite Comics and was unsuccessful in contacting them.
This was for the journal…[Read more]

Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi everyone,
I wrote an essay about a specific comic book and the essay is going to be published in an anthology. My question is about reproducing images from the comic in the anthology. I am, of course, citing the comic and the images in the essay, so is there any issue with using images from the comic in the anthology? It would be much more…[Read more]

Iberian Studies on MLA Commons 11 years, 6 months agoThank you, Edgar. I understand your comment about the irrelevance of this manifestoes. I also understand that Despite the fact that we are not talking about a nation-making process, Ramon Cotarelo’s statements are an act of civicism where one citizen defends the rights of other citizens. That kind of civic attitude is precisely what the Vargas…[Read more]

Iberian Studies on MLA Commons 11 years, 6 months agoThank you all for your posts and comments. I would just like to add a couple of observations.
On the significance of these manifestoes, my impression is that, in reality, they are inconsequential. I believe that one of the the fundamental errors that many intellectuals are making when it comes to the secession of Catalonia is to consider it a…[Read more]

Iberian Studies on MLA Commons 11 years, 6 months agoThank you Jennifer.
You are right, although My concern is that while the punitive bravado of the paragraph you mentioned may not be shared by the bulk of the population, the more subtle yuxtaposition of citizenship vs peripheral national identities can easily fly below the radar.

Iberian Studies on MLA Commons 11 years, 6 months agoThank you Aldolfo and Elisa for these two posts. I agree with Elisa in what she says about the Manifiesto. Indeed there are no surprises in their discourse, yet one remains baffled with statements like this one: “Reclamamos al Estado que aplique toda la ley y advierta con claridad de las consecuencias de violarla. Ninguna infracción debe quedar…[Read more]

Adolfo Campoy-Cubillo replied to the topic Un manifiesto más in the forum
Iberian Studies on MLA Commons 11 years, 6 months agoThank you, Elisa.
What I am most troubled about is that the FAES/Vargas Llosa manifesto suggests a separation between citizenship and national identity that echoes the centralization of national identities that characterized the Enlightenment unproblematically. There is an obvious attempt to co-opt any discourse of modernity that is not a…[Read more]
