Shameless Feminists
Autor Isabella Bannerman, Susan Simensky Bietila, Sabrina Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2020
Dincolo de liniile grafice tăioase se află o dorință viscerală de a recupera spațiul personal și politic, explorând vulnerabilitatea și forța femeilor într-o societate adesea ostilă. Shameless Feminists nu este doar o colecție de ilustrații, ci un manifest vizual care pune sub lupă adevăruri incomode prin onestitate brutală și umor satiric. Recomandăm acest volum celor care caută o perspectivă tranșantă asupra identității feminine, oferită de artiste consacrate precum Isabella Bannerman, Susan Simensky Bietila și Sabrina Jones. Stilul este unul direct, specific tradiției de protest a publicației World War 3 Illustrated, unde estetica brută întâlnește critica socială acută. În tradiția lucrării Female Cartoonists in the United States de Hélène Tison, acest volum continuă să exploreze limbajele grafice inovatoare și narațiunile unice ale femeilor, însă se distanțează prin concentrarea sa pe activismul politic imediat și pe demitizarea tabuurilor legate de corpul feminin. Merită menționat că structura antologiei permite o alternanță rapidă între tonuri — de la observații cotidiene la comentarii politice acide — oferind o experiență de lectură dinamică și provocatoare în limba engleză. Credem că forța acestui volum rezidă tocmai în refuzul de a cere scuze pentru temele abordate, transformând banda desenată într-un instrument de eliberare și educație socială.

Descriere scurtă
- WW3 Illustrated is America's longest running anthology of political comics.
- It is known for providing an important outlet for both established artists and first-timers. A dedicated audience awaits each new volume.
- This volume, like all of them, focuses on up-to-the-moment cultural and political developments. In this case it's the struggles of women around the world. Some examples:
Sabrina Jones explores the impact of early sexual assault on life in a female body. Isabella Bannerman animates her mother's survival tactics as a teenage partisan in WWII Italy. Susan Simensky Bietela's moody renderings chronicle art school with the "good ole boys." Rebecca Migdal reports on women as climate activists. Paula Hewitt Amram melds exquisite drawing with original forms of community organizing. Sandy Jimenez's irresistible characters are inspired by his friends growing up in the South Bronx. New contributors bring stories of the Granny Peace Brigade, inequities in maternity care across the globe, dubious late-night dorm room visitors, and more.
