A sociedade latino-americana através da análise das tirinhas da personagem Mafalda de Quino: uma experiência didática

Abstract

This article is the result of a learning experience that proposed the use of comic character Mafalda as a source of analysis of the current Latin American society. The character Mafalda, created by Argentine cartoonist Quino between 1964 and 1973 is known to exhibit a simple language with metaphorical and a set of controversial issues that were of his own time, but still are contemporaneity with our current situation as feminism, the (in)morality , education ,power, cultural and economic dependence , etc. . The fundamental objective of this paper is to stimulate the use of this medium as an educational resource that can motivate reflection criticism on the part of students. In methodological terms, we selected strips in the book Toda Mafalda Quino which divided into four cross-cutting themes (environment, cultural diversity, work and consumption) were exposed to foster a debate about the differences and similarities based on two different epochs in the history of Latin America.
