This work aims to study to homonymous works, From Hell, the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell and the film adaptation directed by Albert and Allen Hughes, so as to develop a media study as well as plot and script analysis, Based on the Media Studies, focusing the theories of Cluver, Moser, Genette and Diniz, among others, we intend to approximate the distance between the corpora in the tension caused their autonomy. Therefore, the analysis seeks to understand the idiosyncrasies of each art s composition and, by the distance between each work, to apprehend their singularities given by the authors. To approach the composition, authors such as Eisner, Cagnin, Barthes and Eisenstein gave support to understand the functioning of both the film and the graphic novel. To analyze and organize the plots, the theory of Barthes guided once again the understanding of the compounding elements of the story like main and complementary events, character description and atmosphere. In addition to this there is also the symbol study, essential to From Hell study, based on Brenda Mallon s reflections. Finally, the understanding of the film and the graphic novel is done by means of two themes gender and sex , followed by Hell aiming to measure the range of each work. Therefore, when we follow the trajectory of the smaller parts up to the main event, we build the understanding of the whole corpus, comparing the synchrony of each work and their form and content. / Este trabalho tem por objetivo confrontar duas obras homônimas, Do inferno, sendo uma o romance gráfico de Alan Moore e Eddie Campbell e a adaptação dos diretores Albert e Allen Hughes, feita com base na primeira obra, a fim de desenvolver um estudo de media e de enredo. Com base nos estudos de intermidialidade, arrolando as teorias de Claus Clüver, Walter Moser, Gerard Genette e Thais Flores Diniz, entre outros, pretende-se relativizar a distância que há entre as partes do corpus na tensão provocada pela autonomia contra a ligação que elas mantém. Portanto, a análise busca através das proximidades entre ambos entender as idiossincrasias da composição de cada arte e, através dos distanciamentos, apreender as singularidades das obras atribuídas pelos autores. Para abordar a composição, autores como Will Eisner, Luis Antonio Cagnin, Roland Barthes e Sergei Eisenstein deram suporte para compreender o funcionamento tanto filme quanto da história em quadrinhos. Já para adentrar e organizar os enredos, a sistematização de Roland Barthes mais uma vez guiou a compreensão dos elementos constitutivos da história, como eventos principais e complementares, caracterização dos personagens e atmosfera da ação. Somada a essa parte, há ainda o estudo da simbologia, fundamental para a leitura de Do inferno pautado nas reflexões de Brenda Mallon. Em última instância, a compreensão do filme e do romance gráfico é realizada por duas grandes temáticas Gênero e Sexo seguida por Inferno com o intuito de depreender o âmbito ou o tom de cada obra. Por conseguinte, ao percorrer a trajetória das menores partes até a esfera geral, constrói-se a compreensão minuciosa do corpus, comparando a articulação que cada obra faz entre sua forma e seu conteúdo. / Mestre em Teoria Literária

In this essay, I examined the significance of graphic novels as polyvalent texts that hold the potential for creating an aesthetic sense of flow for readers and consumers. In building a justification for the rhetorical examination of comic book culture, I looked at Kenneth Burke's critique of art under capitalism in order to explore the dimensions between comic book creation, distribution, consumption, and reaction from fandom. I also examined Victor Turner's theoretical scope of flow, as an aesthetic related to ritual, communitas, and the liminoid. I analyzed the graphic novels Green Lantern: Rebirth and Y: The Last Man as case studies toward the rhetorical significance of retroactive continuity and the somatic potential of comic books to serve as equipment for living. These conclusions lay groundwork for multiple directions of future research.

La transfictionnalité, concept proche de celui de transtextualité, est définie par Richard Saint-Gelais comme « le phénomène par lequel au moins deux textes, du même auteur ou non, se rapportent conjointement à une même fiction, que ce soit par reprise de personnages, prolongement d’une intrigue préalable ou partage d’univers fictionnel ». Ce mémoire de recherche-création étudie l’usage qu’Alan Moore et Kevin O’Neill font de la transfictionnalité dans leur bande dessinée The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (1999-2019), et plus spécifiquement leur recyclage du matériel narratif du XIXe siècle britannique, marqué par la Révolution industrielle et les politiques impérialistes du règne de la reine Victoria. Il s’agit de mieux comprendre comment les personnages de la littérature de l’époque victorienne sont réappropriés par les auteurs, transformés et recontextualisés de manière à critiquer la culture et la société qui les a d’abord générés. Fiction Party est quant à lui un récit transfictif et autofictif dans lequel Francis, le personnage principal, est invité par erreur à une soirée donnée en l’honneur de la fiction au château de Dracula. Il y fait la rencontre d’innombrables personnages des littératures de tous les pays et de toutes les époques, parmi lesquels Antigone, Meursault, Emma Bovary, Don Quichotte, ou encore le shérif de Nottingham. Au cours de la fête, cependant, un meurtre est commis, et ces grandes figures littéraires doivent alors résoudre le mystère et identifier l’assassin, dans un hommage aux récits d’enquêtes d’Arthur Conan Doyle et Agatha Christie. / Transfictionnality, a concept close to that of transtextuality, is defined by Richard Saint Gelais as "the phenomenon by which at least two texts, from the same author or not, relate jointly to the same fiction, whether by resumption of characters, extension of a previous plot or sharing a fictional universe". This Master’s thesis in research-creation examines Alan Moore's and Kevin O'Neill's use of transfictionnality in their graphic novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (1999-2019), and more specifically their recycling of narrative material from nineteenth century Great Britain, which is marked by the Industrial Revolution and the imperialist policies of the reign of Queen Victoria. Our aim is to better understand how the characters of literature of the Victorian era are appropriated by the authors, transformed and recontextualized so as to criticize the culture and the society that first generated them. Fiction Party is a transfictive and autofictional narrative in which Francis, the main character, is mistakenly invited to a party in honor of fiction at Dracula's Castle. He meets countless literary characters from every country and every epoch, including Antigone, Meursault, Emma Bovary, Don Quixote, and the sheriff of Nottingham. During the festivities, however, a murder is committed, and these great literary characters must then solve the mystery and identify the culprit, in a tribute to the detective fiction of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s first call to action is to reduce the number of Indigenous children and youth in care, including keeping young people in culturally appropriate environments. While we work towards this goal, culturally appropriate resources are needed to support children and youth as evidence shows that when Indigenous youth have access to cultural teachings, they have improved physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health outcomes. Our project focused on the protective qualities of Indigenous coming of age teachings. Together with our community partner Surrounded by Cedar Child and Family Services, we worked to develop resources that inform and advocate for a culturally-centered coming of age for urban Indigenous youth living in foster care in Victoria, British Columbia on Lekwungen Territory. This dissertation begins with a literature review to provide the social and historical context surrounding urban Indigenous youth-in-care’s access to coming of age teachings. This is followed by a description of the Indigenous research paradigm that guided our work, what it meant for us to do this project in a good way, and the methods that we used to develop three visual storytelling knowledge sharing tools. Three manuscripts are presented, two published and one submitted, that reflect a strength-based vision of coming of age shared by knowledge holders who participated in our community events. The first manuscript retells the events of the knowledge holder’s dinner, where community members shared their perspectives on four questions related to community engagement and youth support. An analysis of the event’s transcripts revealed key themes including the responsibility of creating safe-spaces for youth, that coming of age is a community effort, and the importance of youth self-determining their journey. A graphic recording and short story are used to illustrate and narrate the relationship between key themes and related signifiers. This manuscript highlights the willingness of the community to collectively support youth in their journeys to adulthood. The second manuscript focuses on our two youth workshops that had the objective of understanding what rites of passage youth in SCCFS’s care engage with and how they learn what cultural teachings were most important to them. The findings suggest that when youth experience environments of belonging, and know they are ‘part of something bigger’, qualities like self-determination, self-awareness, and empowerment are strengthened. The third manuscript focuses on how we translated our project findings into different storytelling modalities using an Indigenist arts-based methodological approach. The project findings provided the inspiration and content for a fictional story called Becoming Wolf, which was adapted into a graphic novel, and a watercolour infographic. These knowledge sharing media present our project findings in accessible and meaningful ways that maintain the context and essences of our learnings. This research illustrates how Indigenous coming of age is an experience of interdependent teachings, events, and milestones, that contribute to the wellness of the body, mind, heart, and spirit of youth and the Indigenous community more broadly. Through our efforts, we hope to create a shared awareness about the cultural supports available to urban Indigenous youth that can contribute to lifelong wellness. / Graduate

La novela gráfica periodística es un género relativamente nuevo en la profesión del periodismo y que hace uso de ilustración y texto para relatar una historia investigada. Por su parte, el periodismo de investigación es una rama de la profesión que se caracteriza por ser una forma de periodismo lento, que revela información inédita y tiene sus orígenes relacionados al periodismo narrativo, el cual suele tratar historias de violación de derechos humanos. La investigación realizada ha evaluado cómo la novela gráfica periodística es un género óptimo para ser aplicado en el periodismo de investigación, gracias a sus recursos narrativos gráficos únicos que potencian los hallazgos e información obtenidos; además de permitir al autor ser transparente en su investigación y en el tratamiento de las historias de vulneración de derechos humanos. El objeto de estudio fue la obra “Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio”, del artista Derf Backderf; la cual demostró cumplir con las características de una obra de periodismo de investigación que aborda adecuadamente el tiroteo ocurrido el 4 de mayo de 1970 en Ohio. El trabajo recogió teoría académica sobre el periodismo de investigación y la novela gráfica; luego, se procedió al análisis de la obra seleccionada. Se reveló que la narrativa de la novela gráfica periodística permite sintetizar compleja información para el lector, así como un impacto emocional inmediato sobre la historia. Consigue, también, evidenciar las técnicas de reporterismo utilizadas, como las entrevistas en profundidad, uso de fuentes de archivo y el trabajo de campo. / The journalistic graphic novel is a relatively new genre in the journalism profession that makes use of illustration and text to tell an investigated story. Meanwhile, investigative journalism is a branch of the profession that is characterized for being a form of slow journalism, which reveals unpublished information and has its origins related to narrative journalism and often deals with stories of human rights violations. The research carried out has evaluated how the journalistic graphic novel is an optimal genre to be applied in investigative journalism, thanks to its unique graphic narrative resources that enhance the findings and information obtained; as well as allowing the author to be transparent in their research and in the handling of stories of human rights violations. The object of study was the work "Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio", by the artist Derf Backderf; which proved to meet the characteristics of an investigative journalism piece that adequately addresses the shootings that occurred on May 4, 1970 in Ohio. The research collected academic theory on investigative journalism and the graphic novel; then, the selected graphic novel was analyzed. It was revealed that the narrative of the journalistic graphic novel allows the synthesis of complex information for the reader, as well as an immediate emotional impact on the story. It also manages to demonstrate the reporting techniques used, such as in-depth interviews, use of archive sources and fieldwork. / Tesis

Mit dem Begriff Comic wird eine kontingente und veränderbare künstlerisch-mediale Form bezeichnet, in der u. a. die Kombination von Bild und Text sowie eine sequentielle Bildfolge als zentrale formal-ästhetische Charakteristika gelten können. Die Kategorie Gender besitzt in Comics eine grundlegende strukturierende Funktion, die sich sowohl in der Produktion und Rezeption als auch in den Inhalten von und der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Comics niederschlägt.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This project responds to previous available literature on the subject of heroism, which tends to deal with either an isolated work or with genre- and archetype-specific analysis, and applies their concepts to case studies of Frank Miller’s various heroic models. In particular, this project addresses the film Sin City and the graphic novel The Dark Knight Strikes Again, arguing that DK2 serves as a departure of sorts from Miller’s ideals of heroism in his middle years (such as those presented in Sin City), as the protagonist becomes more of a revolutionary engaged in revamping society than the vigilante or “lone wolf” on the fringes of society. With the aforementioned sources as a general background, it is evident that Miller’s heroic ideals shift in their active capacity and scope but remain more or less steady in their strong individual sense of ethical duty. In addition, these sources aid in establishing the comparisons Miller actually invites to traditional, “archetypal” understandings of the hero as well as to the particular heroic form of Ayn Rand, which he explicitly references in DK2. Miller’s response to these previous models bolsters the assertion that theories of heroic ideals are inherently political as they deal with representations of the kind of person a hero must be, in turn involving issues of gender, ethnicity and class.
