Abstract

In the series of comics reportages about the Palestinian everyday life under Israeli occupation, the journalist Joe Sacco (2004, 2005) comes into contact with many storytellers. In this article, we propose to approach three different kinds of narrators present in those reportages through the reflection about the nature of the experience that is the source of knowledge which they put into circulation through their narratives: the Tradition, the Technique and the Gaze.

Keywords: Joe Sacco, journalism, storyteller.
