Resumen de El humor gráfico y su valor e importancia histórico-política
- español
No es ampliamente conocido el valor y propósito real de la caricatura. La ignorancia al respecto implica que el humor gráfico provoque reacciones diversas que pueden resultar en vulneraciones de las libertades civiles. La presente investigación se desarrolló por medio de técnicas de investigación cualitativa, permitiendo encontrar que a lo largo de la historia la caricatura ha sido utilizada de manera extensiva para representar realidades que por su propia naturaleza prefieren ser obviadas, pero que a la postre son testimonio de lo más bajo y perverso de la naturaleza humana. Se concluyó que, si bien el ejercicio artístico del caricaturista requiere regulación, es imprescindible e imperioso proteger su práctica en tanto ha demostrado su valor y utilidad al denunciar de forma cruda y directa esas realidades incomodas o dolorosas.

The real value and purpose of caricature is not widely known. Ignorance in this respect implies that graphic humor provokes diverse reactions that can result in violations of civil liberties. The present research was developed by means of qualitative research techniques, allowing us to find that throughout history caricature has been used extensively to represent realities that by their very nature prefer to be obviated, but that in the end are testimony of the basest and most perverse aspects of human nature. It was concluded that, although the artistic exercise of the caricaturist requires regulation, it is essential and imperative to protect his practice as it has demonstrated its value and usefulness in denouncing in a crude and direct way those uncomfortable or painful realities.
