Abstract

Comics are a very active part of public discourse. Due to its genre and material variety, one can find many examples of narratives that attempt a resubjectification of the ultime “other”, with an active role in the holistic lifeforce of the universe. The present paper draws an introductory perspective upon such variety of approaches along a spectrum, towards an ever more encompassing consideration of sensible agents.
