The purpose of this work is to observe and analyze the way in which in the mid-20th century a part of Latin American Catholic religiosity was represented in the comics format. Through the indentification, Reading and analysis of the issues of the comic strips Vidas Ejemplares y Patronos y Santuarios, carried out jointly by the Buena Prensa publishing houses and the Editores-Impresores Novaro workshops around various personalities --religious and secular--, to virgins and holy places of Latin America, we want to explain the reasons for the production of a Project with these religious characteristics and that was distributed in several Latin American countries. In this sense, we want to show that more tan meaning a comercial bet behind the product, which undoubtedly existed, there was also an ideological reason for the reaffirmation of Latin catholicity between members of the Society of Jesus in Mexico and the director of the publishing house most successful in the production of comics or historietas in Latin America: the Editores-Impresores Novaro workshops.

This article intends to make known through its analysis the first Catholic confessional comic strip with wide editorial reach. I refer to Chiquitín. A magazine for boys printed in the workshops of the Catholic publishing house Obra Nacional Buena Prensa run by members of the Society of Jesus in Mexico. Between1945 and 1963 —years in which it remained in force— Chiquitín was presented as the proposal of a comic strip of the Catholic Church in Mexico, given the emergence that magazine format had achieved, becoming in those years the most successful of the creative industries in Mexico. The interest focuses on explaining the pastoral purposes of the comic Chiquitín and on delving into its own development in artistic, literary and commercial terms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the contributions of comic book on the development of children’s reading skills in early childhood; hence, it is examined how these contributions dialogue with the perspective of literacy. The chosen methodology was bibliographic, and the goal is to discuss, in the light of contemporary authors ideas, the history of comics (PAIVA, 2016; NETTO; VERGUEIRO, 2018; VERGUEIRO, 2006; RAMOS, 2017; SILVA, 2012; BARI, 2008). It is investigated, as well, its uses in the teaching and learning of reading, in this school stage (BRANDÃO; ROSA, 2010; SOLÉ, 1998; ROMAN; STEYER, 2001; SOARES, 1998). Thus, we analyzed scientific papers available on Anped and Scielo websites. The result showed that this textual genre, since it is part of children’s everyday life, can contribute to extend literacy possibilities in Early Childhood Education, in an enjoyable and ludic way.

These article observes how comics are approached in the National Common Curricular Base. The hypothesis is that the interpretation about comics is open to questions. Thus, all references to the different genres presented in the document are identified and, from them, possible aspects are pointed to be criticized, from the point of view of studies about comics developed in the country and which support this analysis. The corpus is composed of the BNCC text. Approved in December 2017, it has the proposal to standardize primary education throughout Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work entitled Sherlock em Quadrinhos (Sherlock in Comics), developed with two classes from the 7th year of elementary school at the Colégio de Aplicação da UFRJ throughout the academic year of 2018, consisted of the reading, interpretation and collective adaptation of Sherlock Holmes tales for comics. In this context, knowledge, literary analysis and the comprehension process of the comics genre, as well as the structure of the detective story narrative and the short story genre were essential steps to make their appropriation by the students possible, enabling the retextualization work proposed by the project. This was only possible based on an interdisciplinary approach that included teachers from other disciplines and students from other grades, whose involvement included acting as instructors for 7th grade students in partnership with teachers, helping students with specific technical knowledge. In addition to describing the idealization, realization and results of that project, this article seeks to elucidate the understanding adopted here of language, text and discourse and, guided by the guidelines pointed out by the PCNs for the teaching of Portuguese at EFII level, describes the path theoretical-methodological — based on the areas of textual linguistics and applied to teaching — used in the idealization and realization of the Sherlock em Quadrinhos project.

This study aims to discuss two concepts related to Evaluation — to evaluate and to examine —, from the exploratory analysis of comics. While evaluating is linked to monitoring and mediation actions and is committed to learning, the concept of examining refers to specific acts of verification and verification of “truths” in terms of learning. This textual genre works as satires to events and allows a critical analysis of themes, situations, and everyday events. Thus, from an exploratory research, we list some comics with the characters Armandinho and Mafalda, in order to analyze the prevalence of the act of evaluating or examining, associated with elements such as selection, measurement, training, repetition, memorization, school grades, value judgments, process and evaluation criteria. In summary, it was possible to conclude that the analysis of the Evaluation, from comics, contributes to: invite educators to reflect on the possible changes in the evaluation act, in order to avoid the repetition of traditional Evaluation practices focused on exams, notes and results; “prove” some examining practices; tense the evaluative act as a magnifying glass over the practice itself, shedding light on the possibility of learning the Assessment. The comics have the potential for discussion, problematization, confrontation and criticism of a reality and can be used with different audiences and purposes, including to discuss concepts, build concepts and promote the learning of Evaluation.

This article studies the history and characteristics of the mediatic transposition of the character Patoruzú from comic books into animated films, in Argentina, comparing it with a similar case: Popeye in the United States. Where Popeye was a great success that impacted several generations of spectators, Patoruzú could only materialize at the time in a single short film, Upa en apuros. This article reflects upon the historical context that made the short film's production possible, the causes behind its commercial failure and the inherent esthetical factors concerning the format leap. Furthermore, it analyses the theme and motifs that appear in the short film in context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research presents evidence that reading and creating comics may be an appropriate way to introduce children to the world of art creation. The study was conducted in four rural communities in the state of Colima in Mexico. This is a qualitative study with ethnographic inquiry techniques: Interviews, field observation and analysis of visual documents. The results showed positive attitudes and aesthetic pleasure during the individual creations of the participants, both essential elements in the artistic initiation of children. Creating comics also resulted in the expression of personal emotions and the practice of formative activities. The research was funded with resources from INBA educación artística 2011.

This article shows how women were represented in a particular comic book, the most important for more than a decade, geared towards children and young people, which circulated in Chile between 1949 and 1965. Many prominent models of femininity are studied. Some women play the role of the hero's companions or villains, while others assume a variety of leading roles. Throughout the period changes were observed in the way in which sensuality was expressed, as well as various forms of censorship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Field research produces all kinds of knowledge, only some of which makes it into our texts. Rich troves of data are mined over many years, but some materials get stuck, constituted as marginal, imagined as private musings, anecdotes, mere ‘stories’ told over dinner but never part of the formal narrative. During a year of often-arduous field research in rural Sudan, I kept a comic book journal where I secreted my crankiness, recorded my amusements and amazements, and kept myself afloat. Like most journals, it was private, reflective, and therapeutic. It was a way to laugh at what can be so maddening or painful in doing research, all the more so—as will be readily apparent—because I have no idea how to draw, but in years of traveling, making comics had become a way to get away from being away, to spend time inside my head. Over the years I realized that my comics were also ‘fieldnotes,’ and that sharing them could, at the very least, comfort someone else doing field research, but more so that they recorded important ‘findings’ in and of themselves. This ‘graphic essay’ brings these findings in from the margins as it meditates on the politics of knowledge and its representations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transformations occurred in history in the last century had reflected on the pages of the superheroes comic books. Such comics, while they consider about the social changes, they emphasize the subject matter of the difference and the gender relations socially constructed. The comic stories with their superheroes and heroines were also the responsible for bringing up to the mass media a discussion about the difference between sexes. Women were present in the comic books firstly as supporting characters, as the target of the villains' evil plans. Keeping pace with the new times and the feminist movements, they pass on to the leading role, transforming into the super heroines. This article will approach the themes described above in the plots of the characters Wonder Woman, Jean Grey and Storm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
