O sargento de milícias em requadros: o processo de quadrinização da obra de Manuel Antônio de Almeida

Abstract

This dissertation consists of the analysis of the process of cartooning for "Memoirs of a militia sergeant," the work of Manuel Antonio de Almeida, aiming to show how the serial was translated into images by Indigo and Bira Dantas. For this purpose, first it was necessary to establish the intrinsic relationship between image and writing; conceptualize comic, and next, enable the historical scenarios of this kind of narrative in the world and in Brazil in order to show how their own language, was being built and developed, until the emergence of the first works based on literary texts, including what constitutes the object of this work, produced in 2007. In a second moment, it was developed a reflection on the serial, its characteristics, how they are perpetuated in the comics and it was established the transcreation of a literary work in comic strips throughout the iconic translation. In a third phase, from theories already engendered specifically on the work of Manuel Antonio de Almeida, it aims to compare parallels in relation to comics. And finally, was carried out a detailed analysis of the comics in relation to place, time, characters and the narrator in cartoons. The theoretical framework of this research involves reflections of Eisner (1999, 2008), McCloud (1995, 2006, 2008), Ramos (2012), McLuhan (1964), Bakhtin (1996), Andrade (1972), Benjamin (2008), Candido (1970, 2012), Da Matta (2007), Nikolajeva, Scott (2011), Mendoza (2010), Plaza (2010), Serra (1997).
