Resumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa é refletir sobre como pode ocorrer a leitura de tiras cômicas e se há diferentes graus de compreensão. Os livros teóricos sobre quadrinhos afirmam que há certas convenções para a leitura de uma tira, como os quadrinhos serem lidos de cima para baixo e, no Ocidente, da esquerda para a direita, mas com o gênero se tornando cada vez mais fluido, verificaremos se essa concepção ainda vale para todas as propostas de tiras cômicas. Acreditamos que uma pesquisa como essa seja importante para compreendermos como se realiza o processo para a construção de sentido durante a leitura. É possível que esse processo possa variar a cada pessoa ou formato do gênero. Assim, apesar de podermos chegar à mesma compreensão de um texto, podem-se fazer processos diferentes para chegarmos a ela. A pesquisa consistiu em um corpus com dez tiras cômicas selecionadas por suas características e especificidades. A reflexão foi ancorada na Linguística Textual e, para fundamentar a nossa discussão, valemo-nos de Cavalcante (2020), Koch (2010, 2015, 2015) e Marcuschi (2008), que abordam o processo de leitura dentro desse campo teórico. Da área dos Quadrinhos, trabalhamos com Ramos (2012) e Vergueiro (2012), estudiosos que propõem uma alfabetização nessa linguagem, e McCloud (2004) e Eisner (2010), quadrinistas que também teorizam sobre o processo de criação do gênero. É a partir desse arcabouço teórico que analisamos as tiras selecionadas e refletimos sobre os possíveis caminhos de leituras adotados para a compreensão delas.
The objective of this research is to reflect on how comic strips can be read and if there are different degrees of understanding. Comics theory books claim that there are certain conventions for reading a strip, such as comics being read top to bottom and, in the West, left to right, but with the genre becoming more and more fluid, we'll see if this rule still applies to all proposals for comic strips. We believe that research like this is important for us to understand how the process of constructing meaning during reading takes place. We believe that this process may vary from person to person. Thus, although we can arrive at the same understanding of a text, different processes can be used to arrive at it. The research consisted of a corpus with ten comic strips selected for their characteristics and specificities. The reflection was anchored in Textual Linguistics and, to support our discussion, we used Cavalcante (2020), Koch (2010, 2015, 2015) and Marcuschi (2008), who address the reading process within this theoretical field. From the field of Comics, we worked with Ramos (2012) and Vergueiro (2012), scholars who propose literacy in this language, and McCloud (2004) and Eisner (2010), comic artists who also theorize about the process of creating the genre. It is from this theoretical framework that we analyze the selected strips and reflect on the possible ways of reading adopted for their understanding.
