Abstract

The main objective of this article is to show how the manga is a historical object that is not purely Japanese and that its narratives are outlines of a globalizing imaginary. To this end, manga will first be addressed as an artistic object and its relations with the external world. In the second instance, it seeks to show, from the perspective of Edward Said, that the Far East is also a construction through Orientalist techniques and that the “I” and the “other” are built together through narratives and power relations. Such discussions make it possible to understand that globalization, through cultural hybridizations, forms new cultures, less linked to their genesis and more susceptible to the changes affected by the otherness between the “me” and the “other”.
