Rius, graphic pedagogue: On Comics as an Instrument for (advanced) Education in Justice (for beginners)

2019 Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. All rights reserved. Mexican comic artist Eduardo del Río García -best known to millions of readers in the world by his pen name, Rius- developed a new genre of comic clearly permeated with political and pedagogical intentions. This article presents Rius graphic pedagogy as a vernacular theoretical contribution to jurisprudential debates on justice, and situates it as a utopian horizon for an education of desire focused on the historical realization of the communist hypothesis.
