Entre o cinzel e o pincel: as relações entre desenhos e fotografias em histórias em quadrinhos que narram a realidade

Abstract

In the middle of the nineteenth century, a language began to consolidate itself in the pages of newspapers. In the same way, the Industrial Revolution rises, creating a new form of image production that occupies the space of representation of a new reality founded by mechanicism. Since then, on several occasions, comics and photos have dialogued, referenced, interpenetrating, mixing each other. The present work has as interest to analyze the discourses around three languages and the forms as they are articulated in contemporary works: Drawing, Photography and Comics. Side by side by more than a century, these languages have created images of the world, and today, more than ever, they hybridize in different types of narratives. At first, we will treat each of them separately. Subsequently, we will address the hybridization (or heterosemioses) of these imagetic forms of production. Finally, we will work on the idea of four forms of relationship between Drawing and Photography inside the comics narratives: the translation, the deictic-mimetic, the pictorialist and the hypermidia relations. To do so, we will go through canonical theories. In addition to Peircean semiotics, work on intersemiotical translation, hypermedia and hybridism will be of great importance. We will dialogue with the researches of Charles Sanders Peirce, Lucia Santaella, Julio Plaza, Daniele Barbieri, Thierry Groensteen, Philippe Dubois, Hillary Chute, André Rouillé, Elisabeth El Refaie and many other authors from different parts of the world, starting, at a certain point, for a more detailed analysis of our corpus composed of four main works to think about these relations in a more tangible way.
