Abstract
Marjane Satrapi´s graphic novels as well their film adaptations show Iranians stories through pop forms of expression. Considering the dialectics of localism and cosmopolitism in Candido (2000), this article proposes to examine Satrapi´s work (Persepolis, Embroideries, and Chicken with plums) and extend the dialectical notion beyond the relations between form and content. It aims at revealing that this dialectics is present in other ways of negotiation between contexts, which questions stereotyped representations of Iran and Iranian women. This article also retrieves the debate about forms of narrating traumatic events, in view of a recent generation that seeks non canonical forms of testimony concerning extreme situations. These forms usually involve the use of images and entertainment genres.
