Forms of financing and plurality in the production of Indigenous-themed comics

Abstract

This article is part of a larger study on the representations of Indigenous characters in national comic books. One of its premises is understanding how the production of these comics is made possible at separate times and how distinct types of financing can influence the content of published works. In this context, the main objective of the article is to analyze the relationships between forms of financing and the plurality of voices that produce these works. It is believed that different forms of financing provide, in addition to the decentralization of publications, a plurality of voices and narratives. To support this analysis, a dialogue is established between Anthropology and comic books through Tavares (2019), Chinen (2019) and Vergueiro (2017).
