if I ask you what a superhero is
I suppose they are brought to the head
characters like iron man or superman
capitan america characters that already form
part of popular culture
especially in the wake of the premiere of their
blockbuster movies but what is it that
Exactly a superhero
we can start from one of the
definitions that I like the most about hero
to dry that is the ordinary person
capable of doing the extraordinary in
extraordinary circumstances a
superhero does exactly this alone
that is not a regular person put
that they also have capabilities
extraordinary
the concept is not new to think about
names like gilgamesh in the old
Babylon vector and Achilles in Greece
classic or even Sherlock Holmes in
more recent times we can consider
the superheroes absolutely all
they have skills and
on top of the common people
there is a big difference between heroes
as lion of sparta and achilles
probably the serious ones of troy have
a historic well just like it happens
with gilgames and it is the passage of time what
what is configured with what
confer mythical attributes that
place between mortal humans and
gods is usually about
human capacities taken to the extreme
strength-resistance some of them
are predestined we are made
descend from the gods or receive
gifts of themselves but what
all they have in common is to pursue their
goals with an unbreakable
tenacity
the superhero tele as we know it today
with their colored nets names
Strange and curious costumes are born
in the 20th century concretely between 1938
and 1941 is born in batman superman
wonderwoman flash capitan america by
quote only some of the most famous
all with series or films of their own
it is coincidence this concentration in so
short period of time we are in the
first measures of the second war
worldwide and it is in the darkest periods
where we need inspiration most
the superheroes serve us as a model to
we aspire and skills that
we confer collect everything that
we want to be
in the case that concerns us in this
era most heroes follow the
classic pattern
superman and wonder woman seem
practically predestined to the
greatness the skills of all of them
are those of an improved human are more
Strongest rapids more agile batman ni
it even has superpowers except to have
inherited an immense fortune which
It is not bad either
superman moves away from the pattern
since he has nothing human
ability to be able to fly but still
this is reflecting an old dream of
The humanity
if
in the case of the captain america his
inspirational vocation is so so so
clear that we can be talking about pure
propaganda but not only times more
dark are those that generate a greater
number of heroes in brighter times
there is also a growth profile
from the imagination of the authors demos
a leap in time until the 60s
the decade in which the human being arrives
to the moon during this period there is a
explosion in the world in the world of
comic book are popularized many new
superheroes this new generation is
moves away from the classical archetype but we
we set out to improve the capabilities of a
ordinary human but they are taken
borrowed superiors of the animal kingdom
vegetable and even mineral there
superheroes who are able to govern
the weather the elements or even the
source
but one of the factors that most
contributes to the success of superiors in
this at this stage is precisely his
humanization as happens with
our motivation that we need
face tasks enough
difficult to avoid
boring but but not too much or we
would cause excessive stress a model for
be really inspirational should be what
high enough to represent
an ideal to be a
close enough for
we can identify with them
as I said the facts of this era
they become humanized by doing so they lose part of
his mysticism but not his greatness to
Finally, what is the merit of saving the
world when one is tall strong handsome
practically indestructible those who do not
we are none of that we have the excuse
perfect not to move a finger not the
beings of this time have problems
just as we have weaknesses
exactly as we look at
the poor peter parker spiderman when
He does not wear the mask he suffers harassment
scholar feels guilty for death
of his uncle and he even has difficulties
to reach the end of the month is precisely
your ability to overcome these
adversities and still be delivered from
altruistic way what makes it
a great hero
by peering into the intimate life of the
superheroes also give ourselves the greatest
three-dimensionality we look at their
relationships in how they interact with their
loved ones your co-workers
your high school classmates all this
it enriches us much more the nuances we
make them more credible and therefore with
a greater ability to generate empathy
after all as human beings we
we define more by our relationships
that for us or our charges
Titles
Another important factor is that a large part
of the superheroes of this era
they acquire their powers by chance be it a
scientific experiment failed a
toxic spill and mutations action
genetic factors this factor of chance reinforces
the idea that we can be any of
us in a predestined individual
are the actions and decisions that
we take and not destiny what forges the
true hero but we do not always take
the noblest decisions sometimes
we get carried away by anger when
we react to an injustice or
even the traffic the 80s will be a
fertile territory for that kind of
feelings not so much for the traffic
but for the previous the great
American cities suffer a climate of
relative insecurity or great insecurity
due to the diffusion of drugs like the
crack and other highly addictive the
ordinary citizen feels certainly
insecure before him before institutions
overflowed in this era before these
frustrations characters like batman are
they become darker and the figure emerges
of the antihero characters that like the
punisher in the comics or the righteous
of the films of charles bronson are
they take justice by their hand and they arrive
where the police the law and
justice are not able to reach not the
we consider villains because in general
pursue a common good
generally protect the innocent is
one of your highest priorities but
his methods are extremely
violent and their main motivation is
a passion as negative as revenge
if we continue with the humanization of
the superheroes taking human passions
or even virtues taking them to
extreme we find ourselves with the figure of
the superhero parody about
all kinds so good they look like boobies
arrogant awkward drunks their mission
principal is not only to demystify
our idols but help them laugh
of ourselves with this I do not want
say that his inspirational side is
lose yet the opposite if characters
so pathetic, unable to perform
great deeds we have been left without
excuses
the superheroes in any of his
four facets are not inspired with greater
or less effectiveness and the attributes or
skills that we give them reflect
our yearnings what we want
become so much is so click
google in his job interviews a
of the questions you ask is if
you had a superpower what would it be
you ever thought
it’s not something that has an answer
correct and rather depends on how
we are able to contextualize what
way we would use for what under what
premises
the context in the world of comics to
just as in science fiction it deals with
respond to certain included by
of the authors deal with topics that would be
very difficult to deal with directly
due to censorship or expression
politics
for example ray bradbury in ‘chronicles
Martians’ tells us her particular
vision of the conquest of the west and the
impact it had on the populations
native other authors project towards the
future your world adjustments that’s why they
has touched live
in the world of comics the x-patrol is born
and is born and throughout its history
to address the issue of directed racism
this time towards the mutants
people who are born with a mutation of
their genetic code that gives them
certain skills
and physical choices some of these
characters use their abilities to
try to impose their will through
terrorist acts and the x-patrol is born
as a nexus of understanding between
humans and mutants trying to stop
this type of activities however not
they get society to see them with
different eyes and many elements
social and institutions end
introducing them in the same bag as
the villains who are trying so hard
combat even today we can see and
identify individuals who judge the
whole societies for behavior
of a few radical elements
the x-patrol usually has its
develop their activities outside of
those of governments and sometimes even
against states that try to annihilate or
subjugate your species this brings us to
ask ourselves what is the model of
relationship between the super powerful group
and there are governments of all kinds
from revolutionaries like v of vendetta
who are seen to rise up against him
regime printers to superheroes
directly created by governments
as captain america or wolf cub this
last case usually usually lasts little
generally the heroes are well
emancipate to pursue greater purposes or
they have just become puppets of
totalitarian governments most of
the authors place their heroes in a
intermediate terrain where in spite of
fight to protect society the
plan margin of the bodies and forces of
state security your encounters with
the super villains usually
violent may call into question the
monopoly of violence and with it in
the definition of the state that makes us
max weber
the actors in general do not pretend
dynamiting states not even in a
world of paper vignettes therefore
at the end they usually find schemes of
acting in relative independence but
coordinated with greater capacity or less as
with the governments of the countries in
who act
in the case of Captain America the
authors have always wanted to leave well
clear that despite being a superhero
created by the government and to dress the
colors of the flag represent the
ideals of the people of the country and not of
his government even three times
they have come to stage this rupture
the first one in the 70s
captain america abandoned their iconic
red red and blue suit with one of the
colors of the American flag
coinciding in time with the
watergate scandal indeed in the
villain on duty we could identify the
president nixon the latest most recent
already in this century ends up facing
directly to your government
when they try to impose a record that
control all the superheroes by
fear that this was violating the
fundamental freedoms or even that
could be used for purposes
armaments
also today we see this tension
between super powerful groups and the
governments
of masked individuals but of
big good companies have commented
before goalkeepers fight our data
as we saw in the video of who’s going
to really have who the government is
really have the data
the subject of the secret entity and the
mask is closely linked to
world of the superhero practically all
they wear a mask
probably because given the nature
at least legal of their activities
It is a way to avoid problems
judicial but mainly they do
to protect your loved ones from
his enemies and to be able to count on a
civil identity in which to relax
adapted from the public eye
of the few superheroes that arrives and that
Do not wear a mask or whose identity is
publicly known highlight the
millionaires since they have
enough resources to defend against
the legal or illegal attacks that
may suffer in the end will result
than having a lot of money yes that is
a super power
but what is the true entity of
hero the civil identity or the one that emerges
when he puts on the mask
in this sequence we see superman clark
in putting on two costumes to the
left the clark in journalist
awkward naive something shy and to the right
its iconic red and blue suit the
personality of the superman is very much
more to the ine is the one that is much more
aligned with the boy who grew up in the
rural house in the case of wayne overwhelmed
for the desire to avenge their parents
interpret when you have to interact
in society a carefree playboy of
way that no one can relate to you
the unspoken
the case of spiderman is a little bit more
complex on the one hand we have Peter
parker a shy student and on the other
spiderman a masked joker is
try that by putting on the mask you
happen as we do when we take a
pair of cups that are totally uninhibited
or is it that Peter when acquiring his
amazing powers for a trust in
himself that he previously lacked
probably this last case and of
made of time or the evolution of
character we see as the personalities
they have
we can ask that question to us
same who we really are
the person that we are in our
physical interactions or rather
those in which we become
when we believe ourselves relatively safe
after a digital identity
this entered practically all the
discourse on social issues
decades ago in the world of comics and that
even today they resonate in the present some
in some cases these are issues
inherently human and that we
will accompany for a long time in
other occasion it’s about speculations
certainly successful are worth the
redundancy but technology the comic
they are closely united we have seen or
we see space travel nanotechnology
artificial intelligence ironman is the
technological superhero by antonomasia and
all their skills derive from their
inventions a drone is an intelligence
artificial that becomes self-conscious
and decides to free itself from its creators
humans shaking off the yoke of the
slavery as a technological Spartacus
his debut in cinemas has been relatively
recent however the character was
created in 1968
anticipating the debate in five decades
current
but you do not have to be there to have
technological superpowers any of
we could travel to the past
with one of our mobile phones and
his intact abilities we would be
considered practically gods and the
future of advances in science and
technology in aspects such as
nanotechnology biotechnology interface
man-machine are putting within reach
from our superpowered fingers that up
Now we have only been able to imagine David
He spoke to us this morning about
experiments already in telepathy for example
how will a society be organized in the
that we all have capabilities
amazing the answer will depend on whether
we will all have more or less the same
skill set or if by the
otherwise we will have to specialize
and who will be a superhero then
those who are capable of doing what
same as the others but without the help of
technology those who are capable
to make it faster way more
integrated since they have the
best updated versions
it can be but I think there’s
much more interesting answers if
we look back and look at
those heroes who were to overcome
your adversities and be every day a
best version of themselves works in
the next time you see a comic you
surprise your son by reading
some ye seek him with new eyes you can
to be poking a window towards the
future
[Applause]
