A intertextualidade e a interdiscursividade como estratégias argumentativas nas charges de Angeli e Glauco

Com base nos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Textual e Análise do Discurso, esta dissertação pretende demonstrar que a intertextualidade e a interdiscursividade são elementos linguístico-discursivos fundamentais que atuam no gênero charge na construção de seu sentido, funcionando como importantes recursos argumentativos. Para tanto, o estudo buscará recuperar o contexto de produção das charges analisadas, estabelecer a estreita relação entre o verbal e o não verbal para construção do sentido desse gênero e reconhecer o discurso irônico como uma forma produtiva pela qual a intertextualidade e a interdiscursividade se marcam no gênero em questão, evidenciando o papel argumentativo desses mecanismos dialógicos. O trabalho é desenvolvido mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de 20 charges de Angeli e Glauco referentes ao primeiro mandato do governo Lula. O recorte temporal justifica-se por ter sido um período de efervescência política muito grande, favorecendo a produção de charges bastante expressivas

Caricatura económica en Colombia 1880-2008: la economía con algo de humor

La idea central de este libro gira en torno al uso de la caricatura como una fuente histórica para el análisis económico, además es el legado gráfico de los eventos económicos que a lo largo de más de cien años han sido objeto de atención de caricaturistas y lectores de prensa. Dos motivaciones inspiraron este trabajo: de un lado, el estupendo resultado de utilizar la caricatura económica como fuente de análisis e indagación para el curso de Historia Económica de Colombia en la Universidad del Rosario; y de otro lado, la confirmación de que muchos momentos de la historia económica han sido plasmados por los caricaturistas. Ambos motivos son convincentes respecto a la validez de la caricatura como fuente para el análisis de temas económicos, tanto desde una perspectiva histórica como desde una perspectiva netamente económica.

Humor gráfico: o sorriso pensante e a formação do leitor

This research investigates the graphic humor, in particular the political cartoon and the cartoon, texts characterized by mixing visual-oral language, and its contribution in the formation of the reader. Recovers the main theories about the comicality in general and verifies the presence of these concepts into the texts of graphic humor and how they articulate themselves within the process of seducing the reader. Grounded in the studies of Umberto Eco about the cultural industry products and its relations with the literary theories and the aesthetics reception. After analysing texts of graphic humor, the study concludes that the triad, image-word-humor reveal a sophisticated arrangement which allows the reader to practice effectively the political cartoons and cartoons of production, of sense, cooperating in such a singular manner to the formation of a reflexive reader

Women and the Moral Politics of Dress in Twentieth Century Tehran

This research examines the politicization of women’s clothing under the Pahlavi monarchy and the Islamic Republican of Iran from the 1930s-1990s. I distinctively focus on the governments’ use of women’s clothing to define their idea of Iranian nationalism and how their sumptuary policies affected women’s lives. I assess the motives behind the sumptuary laws for each regime, and argue that both governments situated women as symbols of national health and honor, and used them as visualizations for the success of their platforms. Despite different interpretations of morality, my research suggests that both governments created these laws to “purify” their “corrupt” nation, using the same rhetoric. Paradoxically, this led to a sexualized culture that exists today in Tehran. I analyze a wealth of primary sources including women’s magazines, political cartoons, poetry, newspapers, extant clothing, photographs, legislation, autobiographies, speeches, passports, Revolutionary-era books written by Iranian intellectuals, and oral interviews that I conducted.

Making sense of working lives and working choices : the role of satirical cartoons

This study examined the tone and content of 107 political, satirical cartoons images published in the popular culture forum of mainstream newspapers. The cartoons illustrated the reform of the industrial relations system in Australia in 2005 and 2006. The images were conveyed in a moderate tone. That is, they were more about poking fun at and questioning authority and power, rather than simply describing the issues on one hand, or demonstrating any revolutionary fervor on the other. The cartoons’ content represented many of the concerns and issues being voiced by employer groups, government, opposition, unions and the media at the time. Themes likely to evoke a strong response from the readership included the importance of a collective response in voicing opposition to the legislation and enacting change, the risks to fundamental working conditions, the stealth and dogma associated with the rollout of the changes and the increasing disparity in wealth and power between employers and workers. The images were an important part of the wider discourse and a mechanism which helped place industrial relations squarely in the minds of working Australians.
