Design gráfico como estratégia para discutir e sensibilizar acerca do contexto de jovens em acolhimento institucional de Fortaleza

Abstract

The present work involves a transdisciplinary research, which relates, through a critical analysis, the context of Institutional Adoption and Reception of Brazil and Ceará with the social role of Graphic Design, focusing on the illustrated book. For this, a historical reflection was built on the various ways in which children have been tutored by Brazilian institutions, accompanied by an analysis of data from the National Adoption System (2020). Then, it discusses the experiences and affections present in Institutions of Institutional Reception, with Santos and Boucinha (2011), Arpini (2003) and Marin (1998). To later present reflections on the social and political role of Design, from Cardoso (2008), Latour (2014), Moura (2018) and Krippendorff (2000), specifying the performance of the graphic field with Miyashiro (2011), Neves (2011) and Bonsiepe (2008), until arriving at the illustrated book, in which the relationship between text and image is discussed with Linden (2011). All the research was based on the design methodology of Munari (2008), adapted by the author according to the design steps. Thus, the relevance of this research is in the understanding of the implications that occur in the lives of children and adolescents who live the adoptive process, and how Design can be approached in this context as a political tool that affects and changes the social scope and its affective relationships.
