Resumen
Este trabajo analiza la novela gráfica Persepolis (2008) y su potencial uso como recurso en el enfoque de la pedagogía “multiliteracy”. Específicamente, se centra en cómo Persepolis (2008) trata los problemas de género y el proceso de “immigration otherness”. Mi argumento es que tanto el tratamiento de estos temas como la composicón híbrida “multimodal” de la pieza, hacen de la misma una herramienta para garantizar tanto el compromiso de los estudiantes con la lectura, como el desarrollo de su pensamiento crítico y su empoderamiento con la adquisición de un lenguaje. El potencial para el reconocimiento y la inclusión de la diversidad cultural tanto de estudiantes como de educadores, cumple con los requisitos clave del enfoque de 'multialfabetización' para la adquisición del lenguaje. Para comprender los roles de género y su trascendencia en Persepolis y apreciar cómo la problemática de género puede trabajarse a través del concepto de interseccionalidad, he incluido una comparación entre el trabajo híbrido de Borderlands / La Frontera (1987) y la misma Persepolis.
This dissertation analyses the graphic narrative Persepolis (2008) and its potential use as a resource in the multiliteracies approach to pedagogy. Specifically, it focuses on the how Persepolis (2008) navigates the issues of gender and the ‘immigration otherness’ process. I argue that its treatment of these issues, as well as the ‘multimodal’ hybrid compositions that it is composed of, makes it a perfect tool for ensuring students’ engagement in reading, as well as their development of critical thinking and their empowerment in their acquisition of a language. The potential it provides for the recognition and inclusion of the cultural diversity of both students and educators, it fulfils the key requirements of the ‘multiliteracies approach’ to language acquisition. Moreover, to comprehend gender roles towards transcendence, in Persepolis and how gender related issues can be worked through the intersectionality concept, I compare the hybrid work of Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) with Persepolis (2008).
