Co-organised by Mariano Paz and Xosé P. Boán, the international conference Crises in Ibero-American Graphic Narratives: Utopia, Liminality & the Anthropocene will take place in UL on May 2-3, 2024 (KBG-15) and will gather scholars on graphic narratives and popular culture from universities in Argentina, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the US.

This conference will explore how the graphic medium has engaged with narratives of crisis in the Ibero-American world including topics on personal, social and economic crises, as well as on migration, gender and utopian narratives. The conference is sponsored by the Ralahine Centre For Utopian Studies and funded by the European Union through the e-Cost action iCOnMICs; the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; and the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics.

The conference will be in both English and Spanish, and includes a panel of four excellent fourth-year UL students, presenting on graphic narratives and gender in Spain.
