Resumo: | This research addresses the relationship between comics, feminist epistemologies, and Information Science, with a focus on knowledge organization and the production of female comic artists. Comics are informational objects that blend visual and verbal elements, conveying narratives, symbolism, and cultural themes. The connection between gender, women, and science extends to comics, where objective knowledge is questioned, and female perspectives are valued. Comics can foster diverse representation and address social issues through Feminist Epistemologies. In the field of Information Science, these epistemologies reflect on the production, organization, and circulation of information, challenging androcentric biases. Thus, the study proposes as its general objective the interrelation between comics and feminist epistemologies, regarding knowledge organization, highlighting the production of Brazilian comic artists. Methodologically, it consists of a qualitative approach, of theoretical nature, and grounded in bibliographic research. The results discuss the recent recognition of contributions by female cartoonists and comic artists, despite many Western productions reinforcing male stereotypes, reflecting gender hierarchies. The male and female representation in comics mirrors historical constructions of identity and values. In this sense, feminist epistemologies challenge traditional representations and promote social changes. This approach empowers female voices, questioning hierarchical structures. It can be concluded that the study contributes to a deeper understanding of gender representations in comics, promoting inclusion and diversity. The perspective of feminist epistemologies offers a critical analysis of the knowledge structure in comics, problematizing gender, and power representations. This approach seeks equality and diversity, empowering female voices, and enriching the understanding of different forms of knowledge and experience. |

Las historietas son objetos informativos que fusionan elementos visuales y verbales, transmitiendo narrativas, simbolismos y temas culturales. La relación entre género, mujeres y ciencia se extiende a las historietas, donde se cuestiona el conocimiento objetivo y se valoran las perspectivas femeninas. Las historietas pueden fomentar una representación diversa y abordar cuestiones sociales a través de Epistemologías Feministas. Estas, en el campo de la Ciencia de la Información, reflexionan sobre la producción, organización y circulación de información, desafiando los sesgos androcéntricos. De este modo, el estudio propone como objetivo general la interrelación entre historietas y epistemologías feministas, en lo que respecta a la organización del conocimiento, destacando la producción de historietistas brasileñas. Metodológicamente se compone de un enfoque cualitativo, de carácter teórico y fundamentado en la investigación bibliográfica. En los resultados se discute el reconocimiento reciente de las contribuciones de mujeres dibujantes y artistas de historietas, a pesar de que muchas producciones occidentales refuerzan estereotipos masculinos, reflejando jerarquías de género. La representación masculina y femenina en las historietas refleja construcciones históricas de identidad y valores. En este sentido, las epistemologías feministas desafían las representaciones tradicionales y promueven cambios sociales. Este enfoque empodera las voces femeninas, cuestionando estructuras jerárquicas. Se concluye que el estudio contribuye a una comprensión más profunda de las representaciones de género en las historietas, promoviendo la inclusión y la diversidad. La perspectiva de las epistemologías feministas ofrece un análisis crítico de la estructura del conocimiento en las historietas, problematizando las representaciones de género y poder. Este enfoque busca la igualdad y la diversidad, empoderando las voces femeninas y enriqueciendo la comprensión de diferentes formas de conocimiento y experiencia.Esta pesquisa aborda a relação entre histórias em quadrinhos, epistemologias feministas e Ciência da Informação, com foco na organização do conhecimento e na produção de quadrinistas femininas. As histórias em quadrinhos são objetos informacionais que mesclam elementos visuais e verbais, transmitindo narrativas, simbolismos e temas culturais. A relação entre gênero, mulheres e ciência se estende às histórias em quadrinhos, onde se questiona o conhecimento objetivo e se valorizam perspectivas femininas. Quadrinhos podem fomentar representação diversificada e abordar questões sociais através de Epistemologias Feministas. Estas, no campo da Ciência da Informação, refletem sobre produção, organização e circulação de informações, desafiando vieses androcêntricos. Deste modo, o estudo propõe como objetivo geral a inter-relação entre histórias em quadrinhos e epistemologias feministas, no que tange à organização do conhecimento, destacando a produção de quadrinistas brasileiras. Metodologicamente se constitui de uma abordagem qualitativa, de cunho teórico e fundamentada na pesquisa bibliográfica. Nos resultados discute-se o reconhecimento recente das contribuições de mulheres cartunistas e artistas de quadrinhos, apesar de muitas produções ocidentais reforçarem estereótipos masculinos, refletindo hierarquias de gênero. A representação masculina e feminina nos quadrinhos espelha construções históricas de identidade e valores. Nesse sentido, as epistemologias feministas desafiam representações tradicionais e promovem mudanças sociais. Essa abordagem empodera vozes femininas, questionando estruturas hierárquicas. Conclui-se que o estudo contribui para uma compreensão mais profunda das representações de gênero nas histórias em quadrinhos, promovendo inclusão e diversidade. A perspectiva das epistemologias feministas oferece uma análise crítica da estrutura do conhecimento nas histórias em quadrinhos, problematizando representações de gênero e poder. Essa abordagem busca igualdade e diversidade, empoderando vozes femininas e enriquecendo a compreensão de diferentes formas de conhecimento e experiência.Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe2023-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearch PaperArtículo de InvestigaciónArtigo de Pesquisaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/21010.62758/re.v3i2.210Revista EDICIC; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2023): Special Issue: Epistemology and research applied to society's information needs; 1-15Revista EDICIC; Vol. 3 Núm. 2 (2023): Número Especial: Epistemología e investigación aplicadas a las necesidades de información de la sociedad; 1-15Revista EDICIC; v. 3 n. 2 (2023): Número Especial: Epistemologia e pesquisa aplicada às necessidades de informação da sociedade; 1-152236-575310.62758/re.v3i2reponame:Revista EDICICinstname:Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)instacron:EDICICporhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/210/224Derechos de autor 2023 Revista EDICIChttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPavarina, Etefania CristinaMello, Mariana Rodrigues Gomes de Silva, Marcio Ferreira da 2024-04-26T11:27:45Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/210Revistahttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicicPRIhttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicic/oaiedicic@edicic.org2236-57532236-5753opendoar:2024-04-26T11:27:45Revista EDICIC - Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)false |
