ABSTRACT This article analyzes how two Latinx cartoonists, Eric J. García and Alberto Ledesma, use the single-panel form to critique and reshape national discourses of immigration, citizenship, and the US-Mexico border. By distilling non-fictional referents and triangulating multiple perspectives, the single-panel cartoon is uniquely positioned to portray the complex epistemological stakes of immigration and documentation. García’s pointed editorial cartoons offer a structural critique of the policies and laws that create the category of “undocumented” to exploit and criminalize immigrants. Ledesma’s cartoons draw from personal narrative to highlight the more intimate effects of this status and how it gives undocumented individuals a critical awareness of the systems and institutions they navigate. Through the single-panel cartoon, these artists bring the material realities of the U.S.-Mexico border and the U.S.’s criminal and criminalizing immigration policies into view for their reader and, in doing so, help to reshape their perspective on these issues.

(Un) 在 Eric J. García 和 Alberto Ledesma 的非虚构漫画中记录单面板方法和认识论

摘要 本文分析了两位拉丁裔漫画家 Eric J. García 和 Alberto Ledesma 如何使用单面板形式来批判和重塑有关移民、公民身份和美墨边境的国家话语。通过提炼非虚构的参照物和三角化多个视角，这幅单幅漫画独特地描绘了移民和文件的复杂认识论风险。加西亚尖锐的社论漫画对创造“无证”类别以剥削和将移民定为犯罪的政策和法律提出了结构性批评。莱德斯马的漫画取材于个人叙述，以突出这种身份的更亲密影响，以及它如何让无证人士对他们所驾驭的系统和机构有批判性的认识。通过单板卡通，
