Abstract

SON GOKŪ AND POWER RANGERS IN GALICIA: THE USE OF JAPANESE POP CULTURE IN THE ARTWORK OF GALICIAN MURALIST YOSEBA MP

My paper discusses the influence of Japanese art on Galician art. Firstly, I provide a historical overview of the Spanish Japanese relations, with particular emphasis on Galicia. Second, the analysis of the works of Galician artist Yoseba MP allows reflection on the changes generated by the application of elements of Japanese pop culture to another cultural area. I put particular emphasis on the figure of the superhero and his transformation to the local context, so as to show how the author engages in a cultural dialogue about the myth of the Galician matriarchy. Although the research part is based on the analysis of the works of only one artist, it allows new approach to Galician culture and the position of women in this society.
