Novela gráfica: La imagen hecha voz en el siglo XXI. Los once: La historia en imágenes

Abstract

Graphic Novel: The image made voice in the 21st century. Los Once: History in Images, is the nascent study of the consideration and analysis of the image as a means of agency and management of the development of the world, through visual language. Therefore, it becomes the main input of the present investigation to be visualized from the poetic exercise of resignification that realizes, its transcendence on the figurative, the ability to dialogue rationalities, the proposal of different points of view and allegorical constructions that can carry out.

In this way, it is recognized as an aesthetic resource in communicative practices and new literary aesthetic bets such as the graphic novel, with the aim of reaching new generations through the narration of facts with common interests and criticisms of a social, cultural or political context. . These proposals raise the following question: Can critical literature be based on the image in the graphic novel, as an innovative resource in the process of reconstructing the historical memory of new generations?

Obtaining as a result a structured theoretical and qualitative research based on discourses directly related to individuals and their reality, a process derived from inquiries treated through methods of documentary analysis, content and discourse, oral histories and interviews; techniques whose results should be used to benefit the community in different contexts. These analyzes emerge from the use of resources such as books, articles, publications, blogs and web pages, used to argue the graphic novel as a practical theoretical resource; all this, in favor of the optimization of processes of critical reading of the literary image, for the interpretation of the illustrated discourse.

The aforementioned, in order to optimize processes of critical reading of the literary image, for the interpretation of graphic discourse recognizing the skills that intervene in their understanding; thus determining the functional relationship between image and word in a context of resignification of literature through the graphic novel. In this case, based on Los Once: as a story without fairies, Colombian graphic novel by Miguel and José Luis Jiménez and Andrés Cruz, who make a remembrance to the Taking of the Palace of Justice of Bogotá in 1985.

As a result of the ilation of theories, thoughts, reflections, ideologies, etc., it is possible to position the "voices" emitted by the images within a graphic or illustrated speech that penetrates into the interior of literature, precursors of the Colombian graphic novel emit his thoughts and discourses through art and aesthetics, and within these elaborate realizations find the metaphor in his process of expression and interpretation.
