O Jornalismo em Quadrinhos (JQ) é uma forma relativamente recente de se fazer jornalismo, no entanto tem tradição e configuração próprias. A internet expande as possibilidades de produção e publicação do JQ, de modo que, no meio virtual, essas iniciativas se multiplicam. Essa pesqui-sa tem o objetivo de identificar e analisar os elementos que caracterizam o jornalismo em qua-drinhos na web através da experiência do site Cartoon Movement – um portal internacional, colaborativo e independente que publica cartuns políticos e jornalismo em quadrinhos. Para apreender o site de forma mais completa, nossa análise se configura em três esferas: institucio-nal, comercial e editorial. Para as duas primeiras, analisamos as principais seções com conteúdo não-jornalístico (Home, Newsroom, Cartoons, Comics e Projects); para a terceira, estabelece-mos um corpus para a análise de conteúdo a partir das reportagens em quadrinhos publicadas pelo CM. Nossos achados indicam que as principais características encontradas em nosso objeto - autonomia, defesa dos valores do jornalismo, multiplicidade de vozes, colaboração e interna-cionalização - são possibilitadas pela relação interdependente entre as esferas institucional, co-mercial e editorial na organização do site. / Comics Journalism (CJ) is a relatively recent way of reporting news, though it has its own tradi-tions and configuration.

CM is an international, independent and collaborative platform for the pub-lication of political cartoons and comics journalism. In order to better capture the website as a whole, our analysis is divided into three stages: the institutional, the commercial and the editori-al. The two first stages deal with the main sections of the site, Home, Newsroom, Cartoons, Comics and Projects; for the third one, we apply content analysis to the comics reports pub-lished on the website. Our findings indicate that the main characteristics observed in our object – independence, promotion of journalistic values, diversity of voices, collaborative prodution and internationalization – are only possible thanks to the interdependent relation between the editorial, the institutional and the commercial aspects in the organization of the website.

Denna uppsats undersöker superhjältefilmers syn på rättskipning, lag och rätt och därigenom representation av relationen mellan legalitet, legitimitet och etik. De två superhjältefilmerna jag utgår från är Batman v Superman och Captain America: Civil War. Båda filmerna är väldigt lika varandra, till exempel genom att båda har uttryck för krig och att slåss mot varandra i filmtitlar. Metoden som har använts i uppsatsen är en tematisk analys av dialogerna i båda filmerna. Dialogerna som tagits upp i uppsatsen handlar om brott, rättvisa och ansvar. Det finns intressanta aspekter på rättvisa som också redovisas genom karaktärerna runt om hjälten också. Sådana karaktärer kan vara journalister, författare, flickvänner, betjänter, till och med skurkar. Alla dessa karaktärer har var sin åsikt om hur hjälten ska handla och det är slående hur de skapar en diskussion som visar hur komplexa filmerna gör frågorna som tas upp.

The Master thesis focuses on the representation of conflict after 1945 in a non- fiction comics. The thesis describes which important conflicts for the European and North American cultural sphere are covered by comics and how. It deals with the phenomenon of comics journalism. This term combining the elements of art and journalism is viewed in relation to the traditional ideal of objectivity in coverage of the events. In this context the thesis examines the position of the author in his comics. The thesis then identifies the comics genres in which wars and other armed conflicts are reflected. It searches for roots of comics that had attempted to capture the reality and in particular the conflict. It also provides an overview of the issue of media coverage of conflicts including the social construction of reality and the depiction of violence in media. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of comics coverage of foreign military interventions and disputes and identify various authors who have written comics books about them. A key theme is a relationship between the perception of reality and its representation on the pages of comics. The thesis contains two interviews conducted with authors Guy Delisle and Patrick Chappatte. The research part of the thesis deals with the selected...

This research focuses on the study of Mexican comics and films from 1969 to 1976. It uses the language of humour to understand how these media expressed contemporary social and political concerns. After reviewing theories of humour and proposing an eclectic theory to analyse visual sources, three different comic books and four films were examined in order to gain an understanding of the issues that troubled the society at the time. This eclectic theory considered academic approaches from a variety of disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, linguistics, psychology, and others. The theory of humour proposed in this thesis can be used to study humorous visual expressions from other cultures and historical times. Thus, one of the novelties of this research is the proposal of an eclectic theory of humour to study visual culture. A second original contribution of this thesis is that it proposes an approach to social history through the analysis of two relevant cultural manifestations: humour and visual culture. This work also invites us to reflect on Mexican society during the presidency of Luis Echeverría Álvarez, as well as the circumstances of the mass media and the arts, both of which enjoyed some freedom in what was called the apertura democrática. Nevertheless, since some topics were still prickly and difficult, humour helped society discuss them, kept them on the social agenda, and acted as a safety valve to express the discomfort of the members of society. Finally, this thesis considers social manifestations, such as humour, as sources through which to study culture and history; it highlights the relevance of the cultural legacy of comics which have been considered as a sub-cultural product; and it shows how we can use films to discover something new about a specific time and social group.

Published from 1985 to 1986, DC Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths created the expectation that each crossover will result in numerous deaths and alter the structure or history of the DC Universe. Since many of these changes, such as the death of a popular or iconic character, cannot be sustained long term, the success and influence of Crisis on Infinite Earths led to the erosion of the very elements that made it shocking. Entire worlds can be destroyed, but superreaders eventually suspect that no change is ever permanent and, as more iconic characters are revived or rebooted, death is no longer meaningful.
