Resumo: | This paper aims to analyze Mariana Waechter’s graphic novel Medeia (2014) and how the artist creates a graphic narrative in order to discuss terrorism discourse in 2010s Brazil, when the country was shaken by street protests. The graphic novel is analyzed through the lens of reception of antiquity in graphic novels, a theme increasingly explored in Classical Studies. The paper examines how the myth of Medea has been recently used to address social issues and how the Greek heroine is a plural figure who encompasses themes such as the social status of foreigners, feminism, and alterity issues. Mariana Waechter’s Medeia uses several representations of the myth to convey the consolidation of terrorism in Brazil in its diverse totalitarian forms |

A HQ é analisada a partir da noção de recepção da antiguidade nos quadrinhos, tema cada vez mais explorado pelos estudos da antiguidade. O texto examina como o mito de Medeia vem sendo utilizado durante as últimas décadas para abordar reivindicações sociais. A heroína grega é uma figura plural que engloba temas como a situação social dos estrangeiros, o feminismo e questões de alteridade. A Medeia de Mariana Waechter apropria-se de várias representações do mito para demonstrar como o terrorismo em suas mais variadas expressões totalitárias se consolida no Brasil.UFRGS2021-08-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/11184110.22456/1983-201X.111841Anos 90; Vol. 28 (2021); 1-23Anos 90; v. 28 (2021); 1-231983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/111841/64169Copyright (c) 2021 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDagios, Mateus2022-02-10T22:13:57Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/111841Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2022-02-10T22:13:57Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
