Abstract
This dissertation is organized in three great lines of inquiry that intertwine continuously: in the first place, a preocupation with the trajectories and political alignments of a group of artists (and their editorial projects) who dedicated themselves to political caricature and graphic humor during the twenty years under study; in second place, an interest in the graphic art employed to ridicule the changing political casts of the period and, above all, the way to represent the tension between peronism and anti-peronism; in the third place, a aestheticprofessional concern which combines an analysis of the evolution of the profession with an stylistic-generational evolution that changes the way in which these professionals engage in their craft and also the style of political cartooning in the country.
One of our strong hypothesis is that these artists share an expansive socialization, that they apply their skills in a multiplicity of fields and are linked with diverse cultural figures of the times. However this did not isolate them from political and ideological stances that speak of their links with political actors of the time and which contradicts a discourse, commonly held between them, that holds that their work does not share a connection with political action and belief. The second strong hypothesis is related to the quick apparition (even in times of the Revolución Libertadora) of the tension between peronism and antiperonism and the way it sustained itself during the whole period. In opposition to the change in political cohorts during these twenty years (political cohorts which also are the subject of our attention) the representations of this tension ploughs through the entire period. We believe that, through the professional activity of our cartoonists and the images they produced, we can read part of the conflictive political history of these years.
The dissertation is divided in six chapters, plus an introduction and conclusions. The introduction stakes out the place of our investigation in the burgeoning field of argentinean comic and graphic humor studies. It also presents the theoric background we will be using. The first chapter is about the peronist-antiperonist tension during the Revolución Libertadora and reconstructs the organization of the craft at the point in time (1956) in which our own work begins. The second deals with the first groundbreaking magazine of the era, Tía Vicenta, and analyzes the relationship between humor and politics during the radical governments of Frondizi and Illia. The third reconstructs the trajectories of a group of artists during the sixties. The fourth one lays out the contraction of the field during the Revolución Argentina leaded by Juan Carlos Onganía and the cartoonists' graphic responses to its repressive politics. The fifth returns to the artists and presents three biographical reconstructions yuxtaposed to the work the cartoonists produced during the seventies. The sixth and final one analyzes the last wave of novel graphic humor in the period under study, the magazines Hortensia, Satiricón, Chaupinela and Mengano and links those editorial projects to the growing violence and repression of early seventies Argentina. The conclusions pick up the main hypothesis and present future areas of research.
