Tango und Comic. Zur Kulturpoetik von Discepolín und Quino im Argentinien der década infame und der década rebelde

The idea for the volume emerged while contemplating Omar Gasparini's mural in the La Boca district of Buenos Aires. The resulting interest in comparing the cultural poetics of Enrique Santos Discépolo (Discepolín) and Juan Salvador Lavado (Quino) might seem paradoxical at first, as tango and comics appear to have little in common. However, this original approach ultimately proves productive, illuminating the interplay of social conflicts and popular forms of expression within Argentine history from an unusual perspective in the cultural landscape.
