Breaking down the context and Bolivian comic speech

Abstract

The history of Bolivian comic art is diffuse due to its scarce periodicity. Artistic initiatives related to comic books and strips is in resurgence before the imposition of censorship in the military era. Despite the active new inception, the semiotics and structures of the national comic have not totally settled defining their origins in the formation of tradition. The complex coupling of popular culture and other genres and narrative styles used among the vignettes characterizes Bolivian production. Although, the trends of the discursive structure and the structural relationship between semantic, rhetorical and mimetic functions are not defined semiologically. The present article tries to break down and later rearticulate the details of the history over the national context in the production of vignettes for different media. Based on the research carried out, the structural and discursive elements of the phenomenon will be analyzed and structurally linked.
