This study aimed to compare the concept of transmedia storytelling by Henry Jenkins with Mikhail Bakhtin’s language theory by means of the hypothesis of that transmedia storytelling might be a bakhtinian speech genre. For this reason, we considered Captain American: the winter soldier (Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, 2014) and its narrative expansion produced in comic, short motion videos, television series and video games. Besides analyzing the motion picture, we sought to observe in which way the three speech genre elements (theme, style and compositional content) behaved in each narrative expansion of the motion picture in comparison to the character Captain America’s narratives not linked to the motion. As a result, we noticed that, while each narrative genre element not linked to the motion behaved independently, the linked narrative elements behaved similarly leading us to the conclusion that transmedia storytelling can be considered a bakhtinian speech genre. / O atual mercado do entretenimento encontra-se dominado por grandes grupos midiáticos cujo alcance abrange desde a produção, passando pela distribuição até a exibição de conteúdo em diversas plataformas e suportes, movimentando altos valores. Nesse cenário, o presente trabalho buscou cotejar o conceito de Narrativa Transmídia, tal como formulado de Henry Jenkins, com os estudos de linguagens de Mikhail Bakhtin, por meio da hipótese de que a narrativa transmídia pode se configurar como um gênero bakhtiniano do discurso. Para tal, tomamos como objeto da pesquisa o filme Capitão América 2: o soldado invernal (Captain America: the winter soldier, Anthony Russo e Joe Russo, 2014) e suas expansões narrativas produzidas em formato de história em quadrinhos, curtametragem, série televisiva e jogo eletrônico. Além de analisar o longa-metragem, buscamos observar de que maneira os três elementos constituintes do gênero do discurso (tema, estilo e forma composicional) comportam-se em cada uma das expansões narrativas do longa-metragem em comparação com narrativas do personagem Capitão América não vinculadas ao longa-metragem. Como resultado notamos que, enquanto os elementos do gênero de cada uma das narrativas não vinculadas comportam-se de forma independente entre si, os elementos de cada um dos gêneros das expansões narrativas ligadas ao longa-metragem comportam-se de forma bastante semelhante, o que nos levou a concluir que a narrativa transmídia pode ser considerada um gênero bakhtiniano do discurso.

This study intends to highlight and explain the development, in the Renaissance, of a category of fictions characterized by their comical improbability and their - more or less serious - claim to convey a philosophical content. Based on a corpus of six Italian and French “philosophical fantasies” (Alberti’s Momus, Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, Folengo’s Baldo, Rabelais’s works, Ronsard’s “seasonal hymns”, and Philippe d’Alcripe’s Nouvelle Fabrique), our study aims at defining this category, and showing how a fictional pattern, initially borrowed by Italian humanists from Lucian of Samosata, has been adapted to new philosophical stakes and controversies. Our last six chapters are devoted to case studies. The five previous ones explore, from a theoretical perspective, the status of incredible fictions in the horatian, platonic and aristotelian poetics: far from being systematically regarded as lies, or considered as artistic failures, they benefit from the high value granted to fictional invention and to the intellectual impact of astonishment. However, their relationship to the allegorical tradition is complex: while they constantly refer to it, they resist to the allegorizers’s investigation. This ambiguity is specific to the products of creative fantasy which, in Renaissance philosophy, is a strongly ambivalent faculty of the soul. / This study intends to highlight and explain the development, in the Renaissance, of a category of fictions characterized by their comical improbability and their - more or less serious - claim to convey a philosophical content.

Apresento nesta dissertação de mestrado, inspirada na ótica pós-moderna e no campo dos Estudos Culturais, uma discussão sobre a importância da mídia enquanto formadora de identidades e formuladora de modos de ser sujeito. Para isto, no presente estudo, busquei analisar os conteúdos relacionados à temática ambiental que fazem parte do enredo de algumas histórias em quadrinhos da Turma da Mônica, escritas por Maurício de Souza, e sua importância como difusoras de concepções, saberes, representações e conceitos do campo das ciências ambientais. Para tanto, identifico, apresento e analiso as principais estratégias de linguagem (imagens, palavras e signos) utilizadas nesse espaço, que podem ou não promover uma sensibilização do leitor a respeito de temáticas socioambientais, reveladas através das concepções que os personagens trazem de meio ambiente ou natureza. Para esta análise, foram selecionadas 15 histórias que compõem as revistas da Turma da Mônica do ano de 1990 a 2006. Foram escolhidas as histórias em quadrinhos de Maurício de Souza para realização do presente trabalho, pelo fato de serem concebidas e produzidas no Brasil, por seus personagens serem bastante característicos e representativos de 'tipos de brasileiros' e por ser uma das revistas em quadrinhos de maior tiragem e interesse por parte do público leitor infanto-juvenil no país. Neste trabalho indico também a existência de tramas discursivas que mostram ao leitor algumas representações de natureza, sendo que estas histórias e seus conteúdos podem se constituir como espaços educativos que ensinam de forma lúdica sobre diversos aspectos, entre eles, questões ligadas ao meio ambiente. Ao percorrer a trajetória deste trabalho, pude perceber claramente que a mídia, enquanto canal de comunicação que é, tem uma profunda e inegável importância na formação das identidades dos sujeitos. A representação de natureza apresentada ao leitor nas HQs analisadas mostrou: uma notável separação entre o homem do campo e da cidade; uma visão utilitarista dos animais; a homogeneização do ser humano: não sendo apresentadas distinções entre as diferentes culturas dentro da sociedade ocidental; algumas vezes a falta de apontamentos de alternativas para as problemáticas ambientais enfrentadas; entre outras situações. Percebi, portanto, que as HQs em questão trazem nos conteúdos apresentados ao leitor uma série de sugestões de formas de ser/agir/se posicionar. Estas muitas vezes não estão explícitas e geralmente não são impostas ao leitor; porém acredito que o contato com discursos que sugerem posições em relação à natureza, bem como sugerem modos de agir frente a algumas problemáticas ambientais - mesmo que não explicitamente, merecem ser levadas em consideração em estudos como este, bem como por educadores que desejem realizar trabalhos pedagógicos utilizando-se destas instâncias culturais. / I present in this dissertation of master's degree, inspired in the pos-modern optics and in the field of the Cultural Studies, a discussion on the importance of the media while forming of identities and formulator in ways of being a subject. For that, in the present study, I attempted to analyze the contents related to the environmental thematic that are part of some of the comic strips of Turma da Mônica, written by Maurício de Souza, and its importance as a diffuser of opinions, knowledge, representations and concepts on the field of environmental science. For this purpose, are identified, presented and analyzed the main strategies of language (images, words and signs) used in this space, that can promote or not a sensitization of the reader about socialenvironmental thematic, revealed through the opinion that the characters bring from the environment or from the nature. For this analysis, were selected 15 strips of Turma da Mônica from 1990 to 2006. Were chosen Maurício de Souza's comic books for the realization of this dissertation, because they are conceived and produced in Brazil, for the fact that their characters are representative "brazilian types" and for being one of the comics of bigger print run and interest for part of children's reader public in the country. In this work I indicate also the existence of discursive woofs that show to the reader some representations of nature, in the way that these strips and his contents constitute themselves as educative spaces that teach in the playful form on several aspects, between them, questions connected with the environment. Through the trajectory of this work, I could realize clearly that the media, while channel of communication that is, it has a deep and undeniable importance in the formation of the identities of the subjects. The representation of nature presented to the reader in the analyzed HQs showed: a notable separation between the man of the field and of the city; a utilitarian vision of the animals; the homogenization of the human being: when distinctions between the different cultures inside the western society are not presented; sometimes the lack of notes of alternatives for the environmental faced problems; between other situations. I realized, so, that the HQs opened to question brings in the contents presented to the reader a series of suggestions of the forms of being/to act/ to be positioned. These very often are not explicit and generally they are not imposed on to the reader; however I believe that the contact with speeches that suggest positions regarding the nature, that suggest ways of acting in front of some environmental problems - even if it's not explicitly, they deserve to be taken into account in studies like this one, as well as for educators who want to carry out pedagogic works making use of this cultural persistence.
