A constituição do sentido do discurso em histórias em quadrinhos a partir da teoria da polifonia

Abstract

Comics appeal to young audiences as icons of pop culture and, over the years, have had the interest of critics renewed by the popularization and diversification of the genre. Corroborating this, currently, the Portuguese Language BNCC emphasizes the need to develop reading comprehension skills of multisemiotic texts and digital genres. In contrast to this need for teaching, few is studied about what elements are necessary to qualify the development of reading comprehension skills of these texts, as well as analyzes that observe the verbal and the non-verbal in an equivalent way in the discursive construction. Seeking to fill this gap, this study proposes to investigate how the meaning of discourse is constituted in comics and strips in which the non-verbal is illustrative from the Theory of Argumentation in Language by Oswald Ducrot and collaborators, more precisely, through of the Theory of Polyphony. It is believed that this Theory, aided by the concepts of Eisner (1995) and McCloud (2016) on graphic narrative and sequential art, can be the starting point for analyzing the construction of meaning in multisemiotic narrative discourses and, later, assist in the development of the analytical reading comprehension of these discourses for first language students.
