Dinosaurs in Culture: a Swift Reading
Keywords:
comic books, dinosaur, movies, paleontology, videogamesAbstract
The culture, as any human creation, has different forms. It is built from collective experience and uses many elements to finish as a reflection of its time. Dinosaurs, although extinct, they give the form to the fears, suspicions and yearnings of our species. They could be living metaphors of the political and environmental surroundings or mere entertainment the most of the times.
This flash review over human work with dinosaurs goes trough a little more than a hundred years of audiovisual media, where dinosaurs have been required to spread from ludic to political messages.
