Resumo: Baby dolls have been in the toy market for more than a hundred years, since French firm Jumeau entered the toy industry in the 19th century and started producing ‘bébés’, considered the greatest phenomena of the toy market (FLEMING, 1996). The aim of this analysis is to shed some light on the multimodal properties provided by the aural, verbal and visual texts of the packages of Brazilian baby dolls through a careful look at their textual and contextual meanings, anchored on Kress & Van Leeuwen’s (2006) subsystem of modality (reality value), within the interpersonal visual metafunction. The analyses of the baby dolls’ packages point to roles suggested to young girls from very early age, varying from parenting roles they are asked to fullfill later in life as future mothers to medical abilities they are encouraged to master in order to care and nurture for their “children”.

O objetivo desta análise é lançar alguma luz sobre as propriedades multimodais fornecidas pelos textos auditivos, verbais e visuais dos pacotes de bonecas brasileiras através de um olhar cuidadoso sobre seus significados textuais e contextuais, ancorado em Kress & Van Leeuwen's (2006) subsistema de modalidade (valor da realidade), dentro da metafunção visual interpessoal. As análises dos pacotes de bonecos de bebê apontam para papéis sugeridos para jovens jovens desde a idade mais precoce, variando de papéis para pais, eles são convidados a preencher mais tarde na vida como futuras mães para habilidades médicas que são encorajados a dominar para cuidar e nutrir para seus "filhos".UFSC2018-09-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2018v71n3p14310.5007/2175-8026.2018v71n3p143Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 71 No. 3 (2018); 143-160Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 71 n. 3 (2018); 143-1602175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2018v71n3p143/37256Copyright (c) 2018 Danielle Almeidainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida, Danielle2018-09-20T16:49:53Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/51429Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2018-09-20T16:49:53Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
