Resumo: This article discusses the connections between the comics Ronin (1983-1984), by Frank Miller, and Cangaço Overdrive (2018), by Zé Wellington and Walter Geovani. Both works were pioneers in their connection with different artistic traditions — while Ronin anticipated the cyberpunk movement, Cangaço Overdrive articulated elements that would later make up sertãopunk before the movement took shape. Both have as their starting point the resurrection of a figure from a historic past in a dystopic future, but differ in the way in which they develop the relationship between these figures and the world to which they return in their temporal displacement — that is, they deal in a radically different way with the relation between past and future. Based on this comparison, it is argued that the superficial similarities between the two works are less significant to their joint analysis than their different apprehensions of late capitalism, expressive of the literary movements to which they are associated and their respective ideological frameworks.

As duas obras foram pioneiras em seu trânsito por diferentes tradições artísticas — enquanto Ronin antecipou o movimento cyberpunk, Cangaço Overdrive articulou elementos que configurariam o sertãopunk ainda antes do movimento tomar forma. Ambas também tomam como ponto de partida a ressurreição de uma figura de um passado heroico em um futuro distópico, mas se diferenciam na forma como desenvolvem a relação dessas figuras com o mundo ao qual elas retornam em seu deslocamento temporal — isto é, tratam de maneira radicalmente diversa a relação do passado com o futuro. Defende-se, a partir deste cotejo, que as semelhanças superficiais entre as obras são menos significativas em sua análise conjunta do que suas diferentes apreensões do capitalismo tardio, expressivas dos movimentos literários a que se associam e de seus respectivos quadros ideológicos.UFSC2023-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/9241310.5007/2175-8026.2023.e92413Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 76 No. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the artsIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 76 n. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the arts2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/92413/54046Copyright (c) 2023 Mateus de Novaes Maiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaia, Mateus de Novaes2023-08-22T16:27:26Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92413Revistahttp://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:2023-08-22T16:27:26Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
