Breaking the World
Black Insecurity and the Horizons of Speculative Fiction“Mann brilliantly illuminates worldbreaking as a Black feminist practice of refusal. Reading across speculative fiction, comics, film and critical theory, Mann illuminates how Black science fiction breaks the world that is breaking us. A major intervention in Black feminist literary studies that gives us a strikingly rich history of the present, Breaking the World redefines the stakes of speculation and critique.”— Erica R. Edwards, author of The Other Side of Terror: Black Women and the Culture of US Empire“Breaking the World departs from science fiction and cultural criticism concerned with ‘worldbuilding’ to instead analyze ‘worldbreaking’ as a critical and sometimes dystopian response to security discourse. From biopolitics to necropolitics, security emerges as an objective of governmentality under late capitalism that is preoccupied with racialized and gendered/sexual subjection. The role of Blackness under this order makes Black insecurity a valuable source from which to speculate alternative ways of knowing and being.”—andré carrington, author of Audiofuturism: Science Fiction Radio Drama and the Black Fantastic Imagination

Alan Moore : la autopsia del héroe
ALAN MOORE. LA AUTOPSIA DEL HÉROE. En principio, para entendidos y profanos, sobran las presentaciones: se trata simplemente de Alan Moore, el diseñador de universos, el fractal histórico en que convergen los vasos comunicantes de lo que el cómic ha sido, es y será.Pero hay más, mucho más. Desde sus primeras colaboraciones en Sounds y 2000AD, hasta las creaciones de su propio sello America s Best Comics (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong, Promethea), atravesando la resurrección de series como La Cosa del Pantano y Supreme, o sus célebres Watchmen, V de Vendetta, Miracleman, Lost Girls y From Hell, Moore ha dejado a su paso un reguero de clásicos, pero también un reguero de cadáveres que reconocer: porque por encima de todo tópico, el pulso narrativo de Moore funciona como un despiadado escalpelo capaz de extender informes forenses sobre la muerte del héroe tradicional, y con ellos, de responder con precisión a algunas de las preguntas críticas de nuestro tiempo. Alan Moore: La autopsia del héroe sigue siendo, en su presente edición revisada y ampliada, el estudio más completo y pormenorizado sobre el autor británico publicado en cualquier idioma. En sus páginas, Juan Vargas propone un viaje ameno, personal y riguroso a través de la biografía, obra, procesos y claves del hombre que cambió la industria del cómic para siempre.
