Description
Summary:This article intends to reflect on the comic book Yellow Child (2017), by Monge Han, considering the identity markers of race and ethnicity. Stuart Hall's concept of representation helps to think about the process by which the production of meaning is made by language, organized by signs that carry values and indicate historically constructed power relations. Comics are artifacts and social practices that influence and are influenced by the historical and cultural context. The analyses try to understand the imbrications between experience, technical experimentation, and artistic expression. It is in this search for representation and self-representation that the artist tensions a hegemonic cultural system and allows the creation of plural stories, deconstructing stereotypes.
