A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar estratégias para a formação do leitor literário a partir da leitura de obras literárias adaptadas em quadrinhos. O enfoque desse estudo está na recepção da Literatura em Quadrinhos por leitores/alunos dos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental II, tendo por objeto a leitura da obra Sr. William Shakespeare teatro, de Marcia Williams. Considerando as atuais pesquisas no campo do ensino da língua materna, verifica-se que inúmeros têm sido os desafios e dilemas na formação de leitores proficientes. As práticas sociais de leitura na sociedade contemporânea demandam do leitor habilidades e competências sobre variadas linguagens, códigos e formas de expressão reunidas, muitas vezes, em um único texto, veiculado sob os mais variados suportes e mídias. Em um cenário composto por textos e linguagens híbridas e múltiplas, cabe o questionamento sobre quais são os saberes e competências necessários para que o aluno alcance efetivamente o objetivo da leitura, isto é, a construção de sentidos. Imbricadas na mesma obra, a Literatura, arte da palavra, e a História em Quadrinhos, arte sequencial, formam um texto intersemiótico rico em possibilidades de percursos para o leitor em formação, além de constituírem um campo propício à iniciação estética. Partindo dessas reflexões e hipóteses, este estudo pretende investigar a interação do leitor com a(s)obra e o(s) autor(es) a fim de refletir sobre aspectos sócio e metacognitivos da leitura. Pretende-se contribuir com as discussões sobre formação do leitor literário e a relevância de determinadas obras e linguagens nesse processo. Para tanto, neste estudo de caso, propõe-se a investigação por meio de questionários, diário de leitura e protocolo verbal para subsidiar o conhecimento e a reflexão sobre o processo de leitura da literatura em quadrinhos. / The purpose of this research is to investigate strategies to promote the formation of literary readers through the reading of literary works adapted into Comic Books. This study focus on the readers/students first contact with Literature in Comic Books at the beginning of their secondary school, aiming at reading the book Sr. William Shakespeare teatro, by Marcia Williams. Considering present researches in the field of mother tongue teaching, its been verified that there are many challenges and dilemmas in the formation of proficient readers. Reading social practices in contemporary society demand abilities and competences from the reader on various fields, codes and means of expression all together, many times, in only one text, in the most varied formats and media. In a scenario formed by texts and multiple hybrid means of expression, there is space for the questioning about which knowledge and competences are needed for the student to effectively achieve the aim of reading, in other words, the building of meaning. Interwoven in the same piece of work, the literature, the art of vocabulary usage, and the Comic Books, sequential art, create an inter-semiotic text, rich in possibilities to the developing reader, besides being a propitious field to the esthetic initiation. Starting from these considerations and hypothesis, this study intends to investigate the interaction between the reader, the work and its authors in order to reflect upon socio and meta-cognitive reading aspects. It is intended to contribute to the discussions about the literary reader formation and the relevance of specific works and forms of expression in this process. To do so, this case study has proposed the investigation through the use of questionnaires, reading diaries and verbal protocol to subsidize the knowledge and thought about the Literature in Comic Books reading process.

This thesis discusses narrative texts by Japanese female writers and popular manga artists* that deal with fantasies of male-male sex. It applies a variety of psychoanalytic theories (Freudian, Kleinian, feminist and so forth) to demonstrate how fantasies about male homosexuality may be analyzed in terms of the psychological orientations of the many Japanese women who are the readers of this narrative genre. I also discuss a variety of themes that often accompany and appear to support female fantasies of male homosexuality: the concept of Thomme fatal' in Mori Mari's male homosexual trilogy; sadomasochism in Kono Taeko's "Toddler-Hunting"; the decadent aestheticism of Okamoto Kanoko's "The Bygone World'; postmodernism in Matsuura Rieko's The Reverse Version; and the concept of . pornography as it relates to yaoi manga. * * In attempting to analyze the discursive aspects of female fantasies of male homosexuality, I begin with an examination of Sigmund Freud's article, "A Child is Being Beaten," in which he refers to the female scoptophilic impulse. Several Japanese female writers—Kono Taeko, in particular—provide clear examples of narratives that parallel Freud's model of the beating fantasy. This female scoptophilic desire to watch a male homoerotic 'show' is activated by a psychological orientation such as that defined by Klein's model of projective identification: female characters and readers project their 'unbalanced egos' onto male homosexual characters, and this enhances the processes of identification with and (scoptophilic) dissociation from these characters—which in turn create the possibility of regaining psychological 'balance.' One of the main themes of my analysis is the development of subconscious female desires to access the bisexual (simultaneously masculine and feminine) body. I discuss the idealization of the shorten (boy) identity (in "Toddler-Hunting" and The Reverse Version) and the image of the 'reversible couple' in yaoi manga as specific forms of a sexual discourse that presents possibilities of escape from the arbitrary, socially-constructed, but institutionalized concepts of the female body. *manga: narrative comic books for readers of all ages **yaoi manga: a subgenre of comic books by and for women that feature male-male eroticism / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

The present work has as proposal expose the representation of teachers in comic books, introducing the relevant research line studies teacher training: knowledge and skills, graduate program in education of the UFS. For both the analysis turns to the work of Maurício de Souza, with the character´s comic Chico Bento; and Charles Schulz, with strips of Snoopy and the gang (Peanuts), considering the look of high school students from a school in the public school system in Aracaju (SE) with reference to the contribution of the theory of social representations. The qualitative research was chosen to exhibit and interpret the relationships recorded in data collection with the use of the fanzine and the questionnaires. The main problem being considered does not seem to be checking whether the current production of comics strives and/or discusses educational issues in a transparent manner and understandable by anyone who creates and for whom the consumes, since several projects checked already pored over this, but understand if the images themselves that feature teachers in comics may also allow a legitimate print showing somehow just their representations. For generation and coherent dissemination of this exhibition |graphic-figurative|, the focus is set by probable similarities observed between two sets different compositional elements with regard to authorship and origins, but with a similar orientation, referencing the same thematic and segment. / O presente trabalho tem como proposta analisar a representação social dos professores nos quadrinhos, introduzindo-se nos relevantes estudos da linha de pesquisa Formação de Educadores: saberes e competências, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFS. O interesse desta investigação não se trata, no entanto, de debater as definições inerentes a esta função ou analisar as considerações dos próprios docentes sobre a sua condição elementar na docência, mas diz respeito às significações relacionadas ao professor que precisam ser discutidas e, nesta pesquisa, com o viés se originando nos quadrinhos e com o olhar mais específico dos estudantes de ensino médio da Escola Estadual Santos Dumont (Aracaju - SE), e de suas apropriações e opiniões a partir de verificações pontuais ao trabalho de Maurício de Souza, com os quadrinhos do personagem Chico Bento; e de Charles Schulz, com tirinhas do Snoopy e sua turma. A busca primordial, evidenciando paralelos entre estes dois artistas, é por constatar se as imagens próprias que caracterizam os professores nos quadrinhos podem também permitir uma impressão legítima que evidencie uma representação coerente.

Este estudo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a linguagem na modalidade narrativa denominada história em quadrinhos, a partir do estudo do livro A Turma do Pererê: 365 dias na Mata do Fundão, de Ziraldo. O referido título foi selecionado para estudo por pertencer ao acervo do Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola de 2012 (PNBE 2012), destinado aos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa contempla a análise de procedimentos verbo-visuais empregados na construção do título e que deveriam ser apreciados em situação de leitura escolarizada, a fim de contribuir para o letramento dos estudantes. A investigação justifica-se em virtude do baixo desempenho da capacidade de leitura de estudantes, conforme resultados de avaliações de desempenho, da complexidade dos produtos culturais direcionados ao leitor mirim e, ainda, da inserção de histórias em quadrinhos nos acervos do PNBE. A investigação insere-se no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade de Caxias do Sul – PPGEd/UCS, na linha de pesquisa Educação, Linguagem e Tecnologia e é parte integrante do projeto de pesquisa “Desafios e acolhimentos da literatura infantil: a mediação de leitura literária”, aprovado pela FAPERGS, que objetiva estudar obras selecionadas para compor acervos dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental do PNBE. Entre teóricos que subsidiam a pesquisa, destacam-se: Mikhail Bakhtin (2006) e Lev S. Vygotsky (1998) com reflexões sobre linguagem; Will Eisner (2012), Moacy Cirne (1972, 1973, 2000), Álvaro de Moya (1993, 2002), Paulo Ramos (2009) e Valdomiro Vergueiro (2009) com aspectos da linguagem dos quadrinhos; Brian Street (1984) e Soares (2010, 2013), com estudos sobre letramento, entre outros. O estudo está organizado em capítulos, discorrendo acerca de (a) relações entre educação e linguagem, considerando a escola como espaço de letramento; (b) processos metodológicos da pesquisa e (c) análise da obra e indicação de elementos presentes na composição do título, que deveriam ser considerados na mediação de leitura literária. A metodologia pautou-se na descrição analítica de aspectos da obra selecionada, a fim de apontar procedimentos empregados na construção dessa modalidade discursiva presente nas bibliotecas escolares brasileiras. Como resultados, destacamos, a partir do corpus estudado, que as histórias em quadrinhos contemplam temas que possibilitam a identificação do estudante com o conflito posto, por apresentar situações presentes no cotidiano e que há constâncias no modo de enunciação das narrativas que precisam ser consideradas em propostas de leitura mediada no ambiente escolar. Alertamos, ainda, para a necessidade de o professor ter conhecimento acerca da linguagem dos quadrinhos e sua especificidade como gênero, a fim de contribuir para o letramento dos estudantes. / Based on a study on Ziraldo´s book A Turma do Pererê: 365 dias na Mata do Fundão, this piece of work presents some reflection on the language used in comic books (or comic strips). The book above mentioned was chosen for this study because it is part of 2012´s Library in the School National Program (PNBE 2012), a range of books aimed at the early years of Elementary School in Brazil. The study means to carry out an analysis on enunciation procedures used in the construction of the work, and which can be analyzed in the context of schooled reading, meaning to contribute to students´ literacy learning process. The research can be justified on the fact that students tend to present poor reading skills, as shown in assessments made public about this area, on the complexity of the cultural products aimed at the young reader, and, besides, on the insertion of comic strips in the PNBE range of books. The investigation follows the Education, Language and Technology approach, and it is part of the Post-Graduation in Education Program of the Caxias do Sul University (PPGEd/UCS). It is also part of a research project called “Challenges and welcomings in children´s literature: the mediation of the literary reading”, which has been approved by FAPERGS and which means to study the books that have been short-listed to make up the PNBE range of books for the early years of Elementary Education. Among the authors whose ideas have contributed to the research there are: Mikhail Bakhtin (2006), Lev S. Vygotsky (1998), both of which helped on reflections upon language; Will Eisner (2012), Moacy Cirne (1972, 1973, 2000), Álvaro de Moya (1993, 2002), Paulo Ramos (2009) and Valdomiro Vergueiro (2009), who discuss aspects of the language used in comic strips; Brian Street (1984), with his studies on literacy, and Joseph Schwarcz (1982), who elaborates on the role played by illustration on children´s books, among others. The study is organized in chapters, which contemplate (a) the relations between education and language, considering the school as a space for literacy; (b) the methodological processes of the research, and (c) an analysis of the work and indication of the elements present in the making up of the title, which should be taken into consideration in the mediation of literary reading. It was the analytical description of aspects of the work chosen that guided the method, aiming to pinpoint the procedures used in the construction of this discursive modality present in the Brazilian schools´ libraries. As a result, it stands out in the studied corpus that comic books contemplate themes that make it possible to identify the student with the expressed conflict, as it presents situations that are present in daily life and that there are instances in the way the narrative is enunciated which need to be taken into consideration when mediated reading is proposed in the school environment. Last but not least, one highlights the importance of teachers being familiar with the language used in comic strips, besides its specificity as a genre so as to make it possible for them to contribute for the students´ literacy.

Além do estudo de obras autobiográficas em quadrinhos e as implicações desta combinação de meio e gênero, visamos observar a maneira como Bechdel estrutura suas narrativas através da intertextualidade com outras produções, sejam elas literárias, psicanalíticas, ou imagéticas. Nossa atenção será voltada para o uso que Bechdel faz de tais obras e qual a relação desta construção de paralelos com a sua criação autobiográfica, na qual articula obras e biografias (das personagens relacionadas à sua história e experiência de vida) em diversos níveis, bem como a maneira como a autora reflete sobre o próprio ato de autobiografar-se ao longo de suas obras / Abstract: The aim of this work is the analysis of the autobiographical work of American cartoonist Alison Bechdel, published in book form, composed, so far, of two comics: Fun Home ¿ A Family Tragicomic (2006) and Are you my mother? ¿ A Comic Drama (2012). Apart from the study of autobiographical works in comics and the implications of this specific media and genre combination, we aim to observe how Bechdel structures her narratives through intertextuality with other productions, such as literary, psychoanalytic, or imagery. Our attention will be focused on the use that Bechdel makes of such works and what is the connection between the building of parallels with the author's autobiographical production in which she articulates the works and biographies (of the characters related to her history and life experience) at various levels, as well as the way the author critically thinks, while constructing her autobiographies, of the act of autobiography itself / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Beyond the draws, the scripts are responsible for that attraction because, even in written way, attempt to reproduce generally informal speeches, leading the readers to a certain immersion in the displayed narratives. Those communicative qualities, associated to new challenges faced by education in a global and technological world, guide the present work in a route to sociolinguistics studies in the field of comic strips destined to distance superior education. For that, it was verified in texts done (manufactured) by the students in this teach-learning model, the daily different used linguistics terms between them, detaching their more characteristic informal lexicons, for, later, show to professionals of long distance educations how the verbal communication must be worked in the production of didactic comic strips directed to this public. For this purpose, this discoursive sort was evaluated in a course of Physics offered in two cities of brazilian northeast. The project considered twenty students, requested to develop, in accordance with the adopted methodology, an activity in which they freely filled the dialogue balloons of a comic story, in which only drawings contemplated a subject studied in previous lessons. At the same time, it was asked for, to these students, the supply of personal data age, genre, profession and address , and about their respective routine activities and concerning their respective habits with regard to reading of comic strips, aiming at one better identification of these citizens in the communities where they are inserted. Finally, these same students had answered to a linguistic preference test between a written comic strip writed on usual form and another version of same story, however contend based words and text constructions in the grammatical molds of the portuguese language. This last stage offered information on the best language to be applied in the studied materials / A maior porcentagem das histórias em quadrinhos (HQ s) atende ao setor do entretenimento, causando, devido aos seus estilos de representação gráfica, fascínio em quem as observa. Além dos desenhos, suas legendas são responsáveis por tal atração, uma vez que, mesmo no meio escrito, buscam reproduzir falas geralmente informais, permitindo certa imersão do leitor na narrativa ali exposta. Essas qualidades comunicativas, associadas aos novos desafios enfrentados pela educação no mundo globalizado e tecnológico, direcionaram o presente trabalho rumo a um estudo sociolinguístico no campo das escassas HQs destinadas a educação a distância (EAD) de nível superior. Para isso, verificou-se, em textos confeccionados por alunos pertencentes a referida modalidade de ensino-aprendizagem, os diferentes termos linguísticos usados cotidianamente entre eles, destacando seus léxicos informais mais característicos, para, depois, mostrar aos profissionais da EAD como a comunicação verbal deve ser trabalhada na produção de HQs didáticas direcionadas a esse público. Devido a tal propósito, este gênero discursivo foi analisado em um curso de Física ministrado em duas cidades do interior pernambucano. O projeto contou com a participação de vinte cursistas, solicitados a desenvolver, de acordo com a metodologia adotada, uma atividade na qual preencheram livremente os balões de diálogo em uma história em quadrinhos, que, apenas desenhada, contemplou um assunto estudado em aulas anteriores. Paralelamente, pediu-se, aos mesmos alunos, o fornecimento de dados tanto pessoais referentes à idade, sexo, profissão e endereço , quanto sobre suas atividades rotineiras e acerca dos respectivos hábitos com relação à leitura de quadrinhos, visando uma melhor identificação destes sujeitos nas comunidades onde estão inseridos. Por fim, esses mesmos alunos responderam a um teste de preferência entre uma HQ escrita linguisticamente de forma mais coloquial e outra versão da mesma história, porém contendo palavras e construções frasais embasadas nos moldes gramaticais da língua portuguesa. Esta última etapa ofertou informações sobre a melhor linguagem a ser aplicada nos materiais estudados

This thesis examines the precode horror comic books of the 1950's as an original American art form and as a popular medium in postwar America.

This essay examines through a postcolonial analysis of the intermedial aspects of comicbooks how stereotypes and depictions of the Other and the alien are formed in Tintin au Congo and Tintin en Amérique. The aim has been to call attention to the importance of the relationship between text and image to create meaning, as well as to gain a deeper insight into how different stereotypes are created and their function. Hergé illustrated the Tintin-books according to something that would come to be known as ”The Clear Line”, a way of drawing that focused on the readbility of the images. In this essay I argue that the simplicity of these readable images were used in his work as comic relief but also to create an awareness of deeper social issues in the world. There is a notable difference between Tintin au Congo and Tintin en Amérique where in the first album Hergé seems to be governed by these stereotypes, fully embracing them without questioning. In the second one however he is consciously and playfully using these images to make the reader aware of the problems with Othering, simultaneously using recognizable symbols that everyone can understand but with a critical gaze that not only reveals these problems but also condemns them. The use of these symbols and stereotypes highlights the importance of the relationship between text and image, as signification and meaning can differ depending on translation and the words used.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) is a massive ongoing franchise that began as a 1984 self-published comic book created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Its history is intertwined with the creators' rights movement and the Creator's Bill of Rights (CBR), which rejected work-for-hire contracts, wherein creative laborers—creative authors—cede authorial control of their labor. Because the production of comic books and their franchises is highly collaborative, intellectual property (IP) rights are often consolidated in a single rights holder—a corporate author—via work-for-hire contracts. Eastman and Laird, as both creative and corporate authors, initially maintained strict control of TMNT licensees, but allowed their employees to retain IP rights over creative contributions to TMNT. However, in 1992, Eastman and Laird sent retroactive work-for-hire contracts to all current and former employees. This TMNT case study illustrates how the CBR represented the conflicting interests of publishers and creative laborers and ultimately reinforced the individualistic view of authorship that undergirds work-for-hire doctrine. Additionally, because IP legal infrastructure uses individualistic discourse to consolidate control of media franchises in one entity that allows authorized individuals access to a shared database of creative expressions that workers can borrow from or add to, media franchises resemble folklore and are made via a database mode of production. The romantic vision of authorship (and authorial control) upon which the CBR was founded ultimately went on to serve publishers rather than creators working for media properties, repeating a pattern that has existed since the inception of copyright and authorship.
