Abstract
Palestine is a graphic novel written by the journalist Joe Sacco based in the Israeli- Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip. We understand this belic conflict -the abuses, violations of human rights, etc.- like a modern event (Hayden White) very complex to represent in a consistent and traceable narrative. We are interested in identifying and reflecting on the own comic book genre options that Sacco uses to face the difficulties of representation. For the analysis we will focus on the difficulty of finding a place from which witness and the inclusion of a varied number of direct testimonies.
