The first session of the <strong>CYCLE I | <em>They were always there: Pioneers of illustration and comics<\/em><\/strong> It was an invitation to look again at the history of the \u2026 image and to analyze it from the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Driven by <strong>Elisa McCausland<\/strong> y <strong>Diego Salgado<\/strong> from your book <em><strong>Vineyard: universal story of comic book authors<\/strong><\/em>, the session opened a cycle of four meetings (two in February and two in March) combining historical outreach with concrete action: Wikipedia editing workshops to create and improve biographies of illustrators.

They rejected the \"erotic of exception\", that temptation to celebrate a single brilliant author while keeping intact the structure of invisibilization, and defended the importance of <strong>understand the material, technological and political conditions that made possible the work of so many creators<\/strong>. It's not just about proper names, but about networks, creative families, duo and editorial ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical journey started long before modern comics. <strong>From the <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ende_(iluminadora)\">Medieval Illuminators<\/a> until <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ilustraci%C3%B3n_bot%C3%A1nica\">botanical and scientific illustrators<\/a> in court contexts<\/strong>, women were actively involved in the production of images, although often from spaces considered \u201cminor\u201d or as supposedly amateur activities. Paradoxically, those marginal assignments (such as children's illustration, decorative or fashion) ended up opening <strong>paths of professionalisation and economic autonomy<\/strong>, even when they did not confer cultural prestige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the advent of modernity and the expansion of mass culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, image became a central language for thinking as a society. <strong>Illustrated press, fashion magazines and children's publications were areas where many women found a place<\/strong>, in a context of growing literacy and technological revolution in printing. However, this invisible mainstream, consumed by millions, was left out of the official accounts of art history, more concerned with academic painting than with reproducible illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session also underscored <strong>the political and subversive power of images<\/strong>. Before we even know how to read, we learn to look, and that power explains why images have been subject to greater censorship than texts throughout history. Illustration and comics, far from being separate disciplines, have been united from the beginning: <strong>a single vignette can condense a complete narrative<\/strong>. To recognize that continuity is also to recognize that <strong>the authors were always there, shaping the collective imagination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gt-bibliografia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&gt; Bibliography<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-1024x360.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-1024x360.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-1536x540.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-2048x720.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-150x53.png 150w, https:\/\/www.wikiesfera.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2026-02-18_sesion-divulgacion_02-400x141.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, the following books were mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2023 &#8211; <em><strong>They illustrate botany: art, science and gender.<\/strong><\/em> Coordinates Toya Legido.
