Os quadrinhos de super-herói como representação de paradigmas da identidade, política externa e segurança nacional dos Estados Unidos: de Pearl Harbor ao Patriot Act

Abstract

Superhero comic books are a medium of narratives which is barely studied directly by International Relations literature, but its potential as a historical document on aesthetic representation of foreign and domestic political questions is relevant. Marvel and DC Comics present a varied ensemble of stories and characters whose developments were intimately related to the political and geopolitical environments in which they found themselves. These characters are related to American identity in many ways and their arcs frequently met allusions to US foreign policy paradigms. This literature review cronologically analyses these connections and their recurring themes
