Since its creation in 1964, readers from all over the world have
loved the comic Mafalda, primarily because of the sharp wit and
rebellious nature of its title character-a four-year-old girl who
is wise beyond her years. Through Mafalda, Argentine cartoonist
Joaquin Salvador Lavado explores complex questions about class
identity, modernization, and state violence. In Mafalda: A Social
and Political History of Latin America's Global Comic-first
published in Argentina in 2014 and appearing here in English for
the first time-Isabella Cosse analyzes the comic's vast appeal
across multiple generations. From Mafalda breaking the fourth wall
to speak directly to readers to express her opposition to the 1966
Argentine coup, to Spanish students' protest signs bearing her
face, to the comic's cult status in Korea, Cosse provides insights
into the cartoon's production, circulation, and incorporation into
social and political conversations. Analyzing how Mafalda reflects
generational conflicts, gender, modernization, the Cold War,
authoritarianism, neoliberalism, and much more, Cosse demonstrates
the unexpected power of humor to shape revolution and resistance.
As the Cuban Revolution reaches its sixtieth anniversary,
contributors to this special issue explore the impact of the
revolution through the lens of sexuality and gender, providing a
social and cultural history that illuminates the Cuban-influenced
global New Left. Moving beyond assumptions about the revolutionary
left's hypermasculinity and homophobia, the issue takes a nuanced
approach to the Cuban Revolution's impact on gender and sexuality.
Contributors study Cuban internationalist campaigns, the
relationship between cultural diplomacy and mass media, and visual
images of revolution and solidarity. They follow the emergence and
negotiation of new gender ideals through the transgendering of
Che's "New Man," the Cuban travels of Angela Davis, calls for
sexual revolution in the Dutch Atlantic, and gender representations
during the 1964 "Campaign of Terror" in Chile. In doing so, the
authors provide fresh insight into Cuba's transnational legacy on
politics and culture during the Cold War and beyond. Contributors.
