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. The Internet expands the possibilities of production and publication for CJ works, so that in virtual media these initiatives tend to multiply. This research aims to identi-fy and analyze the defining elements of online Comics Journalism through the Cartoon Move-ment (CM) website. 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.

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 thesis is a study of four graphic novels that depicts the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Palestine (1993) by Joe Sacco, How to Get to Know Israel in 60 Days or Less (2011) by Sarah Glidden, Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me (2014) by Harvey Pekar and JT Waldman, and Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City (2011) by Guy Delisle. By comparing the graphic novels, I study the differences and similarities in regard to postcolonial aspects by applying the theoretical framework of Edward Said concerning the “Other” and the Orient. I study the making of the “Other” in the graphic novels by analyzing the use of time in comics, as well as narratological aspects such as focalization. The making of the “Other” is complicated in graphic novels due to its complex use of time and narratology, where a multitude of perspectives and aspects of time can exist simultaneously. Moreover, the theme of the conflict and concept of the “Other” and is further complicated in the graphic novels’ since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing and complex conflict.  This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of how the “Other” is depicted in the material. It also has an ambition to expand the knowledge of the medium by analyzing comics in regard to stereotypes and simplification as well as the comic’s subversive strategies. Furthermore, I analyze the relationship between objectivity and subjectivity in the graphic novels which are often categorized as journalistic comics. In regards to the genre I discuss its relationship with traditional journalism and the school of “New Journalism”.
