Latin America is experiencing a boom in graphic novels that are highly 
innovative in their conceptual play and their reworking of the medium. 
Inventive artwork and sophisticated scripts have combined to satisfy the 
demand of a growing readership, both at home and abroad. Posthumanism 
and the Graphic Novel in Latin America, which is the first book-length 
study of the topic, argues that the graphic novel is emerging in Latin 
America as a uniquely powerful force to explore the nature of 
twenty-first century subjectivity. The authors place particular emphasis 
on the ways in which humans are bound to their non-human environment, 
and these ideas are productively drawn out in relation to posthuman 
thought and experience. The book draws together a range of recent 
graphic novels from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay, many 
of which experiment with questions of transmediality, the representation 
of urban space, modes of perception and cognition, and a new form of 
ethics for a posthuman world.
