GIUV2025-659

This research group aims to address, through a variety of approaches, the study of comics or cartoons in all their diverse forms, styles, aesthetics, and themes from the richness of a multidisciplinary perspective. If the language of comics is advantageously multifaceted, so too is the impetus for its expansion in academic studies. As a means of expression, it is appropriate for all areas of knowledge, fosters all types of knowledge and experiences, and is open to all artistic possibilities. This group plans to observe the history, evolution, and applications of comics, as well as reflect on the richness of its presence in the Arts and Humanities, Education, Basic and Experimental Sciences, Health Sciences, Social and Legal Sciences, and Engineering and Architecture.
