Discurso e Histórias em Quadrinhos: Ler Não é só Decodificar

Abstract

This research aimed at the discursive investigation of a textual genre that circulates in everyday life and, in recent times, has received prominence in the school. It is the Comics, popularly, HQ, a textual genre that explores in a differentiated way the relationship between verbal and non-verbal language, leading the reader to perceive effects of meanings that can both provoke laughter and lead to a social reflection or about some day-to-day event. Thus, we tried to observe how this genre constitutes a tool important for the construction process of reading practices and contributes to a training that goes beyond the decoding of the language system, since the Comics will question the reader as a social subject. By this For this reason, the theoretical methodological support chosen was Discourse Analysis (DA) French, which allowed us to understand the textual object as a construction history crossed by the contradictions of the discourse, by the incompleteness of the subjects and the non-transparency of the language (ORLANDI, 2020). Therefore, this study presents a historical narrative of Comics, highlighting the production conditions of some discourses that led this textual genre to assume a relevant place in the school context. With a focus on the process of discursive reading, we undertook the reading and analysis of some Stories in Comics in order to work on the materialization of speeches about the coronavirus pandemic covid-19, making visible part of the discursive network that could circulate in everyday life to from a possible process of production of meanings in our community.
