Análisis de la novela gráfica sin city como recurso narrativo, desde una perspectiva socio-crítica

Abstract

The research presented presents an approach to the graphic novel Sin City, by Frank Miller, through a socio-critical analysis, revealing a contextual reality everyday but framed in the concept of the contemporary hero. Miller transforms the traditional schemes of the cartoon and rethinks the narrative and graphic exercise of the genre within the world of literature, where the force of the novel is strengthened from the mixture between the art of the image and the art of writing. The analysis of the text, in the light of the mentioned paradigm, provides elements to recognize discourses of opposition, conscience and social denunciation, through the world visions of the characters. The concepts of value, conflict, power relations, politics and subversion, among others, focus on the degraded hero or anti-hero, as well as different concepts to contemplate Miller's work: the figure of the hero, the city of sin, , Who in the novel worked is no more than an earthy, dark, sombre and vile individual who transgresses all norms and conflicts with himself and his environment, in this case the city of sin, with its values, with the systems .
