Resumo: | This article aims to analyze the representational visual metafunction in cartoons which portray racism. In view of this, Grammar of Visual Design (GVD) is a theory that focuses on the systematic and multimodal study of images. In this sense, we begin doing a brief discussion about racism based on Almeida (2019); in order to discuss the visual analysis, we used mainly the theoretical contributions of Almeida (2009), Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) and Silva and Almeida (2018); to address the theme of the textual genre cartoon, our study was based especially on Alves (2016), Bakhtin (2003), Bazerman (2005), Marcuschi (2008), and Swales (1990). Thus, we proceeded with a qualitative investigation of five cartoons by the illustrator Junião, seeking to verify the representational structures, the narrative processes of action, reactional, verbal and mental, the conceptual processes categorized as classificational, analytical and symbolic; as well as to critically reflect on the contributions of cartoons to the fight against racism. In view of the results obtained, we verified that the narrative structure is present in all of the cartoons, while the conceptual structure is present in only two. Regarding the processes, we identified the narrative processes of action, reactional, and verbal; as we found only the conceptual classificational process. That said, we conclude that cartoons are critical genres and, in the researched corpus, they show and denounce racist practices that are naturalized in our society. |

À vista disso, destacamos a Gramática do Design Visual (GDV) que se volta para o estudo sistemático e multimodal de estruturas imagéticas. Com relação ao aparato teórico, iniciamos com uma breve discussão sobre o racismo com base em Almeida (2019); para tratar da análise visual, tomamos principalmente as contribuições de Almeida (2009), Kress e van Leeuwen (2006) e Silva e Almeida (2018) acerca do gênero charge, baseamo-nos especialmente em Alves (2016), Bakhtin (2003), Bazerman (2005), Marcuschi (2008) e Swales (1990). Nesse sentido, procedemos uma investigação qualitativa de cinco charges do ilustrador Junião, buscando verificar as estruturas representacionais, os processos narrativos de ação, reação, verbal e mental, os processos conceituais categorizados em classificacional, analítico e simbólico; assim como refletir criticamente sobre as contribuições do gênero charge à luta contra o racismo. Diante dos resultados obtidos, verificamos que a estrutura narrativa se faz presente em todas as charges, ao passo que a estrutura conceitual se dá em duas. No que concerne aos processos, identificamos os processos narrativos de ação, reação e verbal; à medida que constatamos somente o processo conceitual classificacional. Isto posto, concluímos que a charge é um gênero de natureza crítica e, no corpus pesquisado, aponta e denuncia práticas racistas que estão naturalizadas em nossa sociedade.Edições UERN2021-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/RCOL/article/view/3475COLINEARES; v. 8 n. 1 (2021): Revista Colineares; 90-1092357-8203reponame:Revista Colinearesinstname:Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN)instacron:UERNporhttps://periodicos.apps.uern.br/index.php/RCOL/article/view/3475/2809Copyright (c) 2021 Débora Brenda Teixeira Silva, José Roberto Alves Barbosahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Débora Brenda TeixeiraBarbosa, José Roberto Alves 2023-07-31T16:18:05Zoai:ojs2.periodicos.apps.uern.br:article/3475Revistahttp://periodicos.uern.br/index.php/colinearesPUBhttp://periodicos.uern.br/index.php/colineares/oai||rev.colineares@uern.br2357-82032357-8203opendoar:2024-05-17T13:37:39.356922Revista Colineares - Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN)false |
