ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study considers the history and problematics of the contemporary comic strip, particularly in regard to issues of controversy and iconoclasm. Special attention is paid to the local magazine, Bitterkomix as an example. In Chapter One, the comic medium is identified and discussed as a homogeneous art form. Its independence from both fine arts and literature is explained and the identifying, intrinsic characteristics of the medium are used as a basis for the analysis of form and meaning in selected contemporary comics. Chapter Two provides a brief history of iconoclasm, subversion and controversy surrounding selected comics from the 1950's up to the present. The emphasis is placed on pivotal developments in the medium, particularly in the United States. A link is suggested between the post-war affluence of the American society and the conservative values which underpin it. Because of the many similarities which exist between the value systems of white South Africa and those of the more conservative states of the U.S., a contextual parallel is mooted which identifies the development and impact of controversial comics abroad and the reception which Bitterkomix encountered in South Africa. Chapter Three outlines and analyses this connection, emphasising that Bitterkomix has to be seen in the wider historical context and not simply as an expression of a parochial, "alternative"culture among young Afrikaners. In the final two chapters, satire and the use of stereotypes in the comic form is considered. The study pays particular attention to the publications, Gif, Afrikaner Sekskomix and Loslyf(an Afrikaans skin magazine) in order to establish connections between deviant sexual behaviour in a repressive society.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:In hierdie werkstuk word die geskiedenis en problematiek van die hedendaagse strip, veral die kontroversieIe en ikonoklastiese aspekte daarvan, aangespreek. As 'n voorbeeld word die aandag veral toegespits op die plaaslike tydskrif, Bitterkomix. In Hoofstuk Een word die stripmedium geidentifiseer en as homogene kunsvorm bespreek. Die medium se onafhanklikheid van beide die Skone Kunste en die Letterkunde word verduidelik en die identifiserende, intrinsieke kenmerke word basies toegepas vir die ontleding van vorm en betekenis in gekose, hedendaagse strips. Hoofstuk Twee bestaan uit 'n kort oorsig van die geskiedenis van ikonoklasme, ondermyning en kontroverse rondom geselekteerde strips vanaf 1950 tot die hede. Die k1em word geplaas op deurslaggewende ontwikkelings in die medium, veral in die Verenigde State. 'n Skakel word voorgestel tussen die na-oorlogse welvaart van die Amerikaanse gemeenskap en die konserwatiewe waardes onderliggend daaraan. As gevolg van die baie ooreenkomste tussen die waarde-sisteme van wit Suid-Afrika en die van die meer konserwatiewe state van die V.S., word 'n kontekstuele parallel vasgestel wat die ontwikkeling en impak van kontroversieIe strips in die buiteland en die reaksie op Bitterkomix in Suid-Afrika, identifiseer. Hoofstuk Drie skets en ontleed hierdie verbintenis en beklemtoon dat Bitterkomix in 'n wyer historiese konteks beskou moet word en nie slegs as 'n uitdrukking van 'n parogiale, "altematiewe" kuItuur onder jong Afrikaners nie. In die laaste twee hoofstukke word satire en die gebruik van stereotipes in die stripvorm oorweeg. Aandag word veral gegee aan die publikasies Gif: Afrikoner Sekskomix, en Loslyf( 'n Afrikaanse sekstydskrif) om kwessies van abnormale seksuele gedrag in 'n repressiewe gemeenskap aan te raak.

Full textO objetivo principal desta pesquisa é analisar como a tecnologia inserida nos quadrinhos causa mudanças e adaptações na sua linguagem e na interação com seus leitores. Para tanto, foi escolhida a webcomic de José Aguiar, A infância do Brasil, publicada completamente online e que apresenta recursos digitais que influem na leitura e ampliam a mensagem pretendida por meio de hipertextos e da mobilidade possibilitada pelo website de layout responsivo. Em um primeiro momento, é considerado como a tecnologia foi inserida na produção de quadrinhos e como os profissionais desta atividade se relacionam com as alterações causadas pelos usos de novas ferramentas e técnicas. Em seguida, é traçado um breve histórico da carreira e da obra de José Aguiar, delineando um perfil do autor e sua identidade artística, manifestada através de seus trabalhos com os quadrinhos. Posteriormente, o foco recai sobre a webcomic selecionada, examinando os capítulos, seus aspectos visuais, temáticas e contextos envolvidos, além dos recursos digitais de que faz uso. Por fim, a relevância de uma história em quadrinhos digital que trata de um tema bastante delicado é abordada, poderando sobre seu legado como arte e como crítica social.

Full textEsta pesquisa utiliza as histórias em quadrinhos das séries “Watchmen” e “Before Watchmen - Dr. Manhattan” como base para ensinar física com enfoque CTS, levando em consideração a interdisciplinaridade da linguagem da arte sequencial. As revistas selecionadas inter-relacionam conteúdos referentes a física, história, sociologia, filosofia e arte em uma narrativa que gira em torno da física atômica, fazendo assim com que possam ser utilizadas como ferramenta para fazer um primeiro contato entre alunos e conteúdo e assim aumentar o engajamento. Esta pesquisa objetiva buscar informações para a elaboração de um material didático na forma de histórias em quadrinhos para o ensino de física, para isso utiliza-se de textos de diversos autores como Kakalios e Will Eisner, além de questionários e da matriz dialógica problematizadora.
This research uses the comics from the series “Watchmen” and “Before Watchmen Dr. Manhattan” as a base to teach physics with and enphasis on STS, considering the interdisciplinarity of the sequential arts, which on the selected comics interrelates subjects referring to physics, history, sociology, philosophy and art in a narrative that revolves around atomic physics, making it possible to use it as a tool for a first contact between the students and the subject as a way to increase the students engagement when studying physics with an enphasis on STS, specially on subjects concerning modern physcis. This research presents an history of the uses of comic books in teaching, historic reports concerning the dangers that a lack of information and the scarcity of a education focused on STS can cause when populations interact with radioactive technological artifacts.

Full textThis study seeks to reflect on the meanings, senses, tensions and contradictions related to the term “independent” and its counterpart, the term “mainstream”, connected to the process of development of comics as a cultural formation. These reflections are guided by Raymond William’s set of ideas, especially the concepts of technology, hegemony and alternative, oppositional, residual, and emerging cultures. We structured the work in five moments. First, we approach comics as a cultural form and observe the relations between culture and technology in its process of formation. Next, we observe particularities of this process within the Brazilian context. In a third moment, we present Williams’ concepts on alternative cultures and anticipate the part devoted to the intense cultural manifestations of the 1960s and their unfolding. Finally, we attempt to give an overview of the scenario of changes that develops from the 1980s, emphasizing the comics published in Brazil. From the observation of the emergence and consolidation of events such as the HQ Mix Trophy and the comics fairs and biennials related to new publication and distribution processes, we sought to analyze the works and profiles of four contemporary comic authors and to better understand the meanings of terms such as "independent", "authorial", "commercial", "mainstream", "alternative" and others, commonly used in various comic book practices. Among the results obtained, we noticed that: many contemporary "independent" productions present thematic, stylistic and material characteristics practically indistinguishable from "mainstream" productions; some "mainstream" productions incorporate themes and proposals of cultures that are alternatives to hegemony; the use of the term “independent” often covers the unfavorable conditions of production and livelihood of several professionals; rigorously considering the opposing cultures as a set of actions of a revolutionary dimension, it is difficult to find works that effectively meet this condition.
