Resumo: We live in a secularized society, the myths from ancient people lost prestige before the contemporary man, all its teachings and moral precepts are meaningless in the postmodern society. What is intended to show in this theoretical and bibliographic research is the mythical function being so in ancient cultures as in super adventures stories, which is assuming the role of ancient mythologies, carrying with symbolism and sacredness elements of contemporary culture, and discussing social and historical themes with a critical and theoretical way. It is approached in this work the character of comics, Captain America, from its creation until the historical and social elements that were introduced during the chronology of its stories, characterizing it as the myth of the American nation. The American superhero accepts as features all ideals and maxims from American culture and ideology, serving as the ancient mythological hero as an example to be followed.

O que se pretende apresentar nesta pesquisa de natureza teórica e de cunho bibliográfico é a função do mito presente tanto nas culturas da antiguidade como a sua função presente nas narrativas das superaventuras, que vem assumir o papel das antigas mitologias, carregando de simbologia e sacralidade elementos da cultura contemporânea e discutindo temas sociais e históricos de forma crítica e teórica. Aborda-se nesse trabalho o personagem das histórias em quadrinhos Capitão América, desde sua criação até os elementos históricos e sociais que acabaram sendo introduzidos durante a cronologia de suas histórias, caracterizando-o como o mito da nação estadunidense. O super-herói americano assume como características todos os ideais e máximas da cultura e da ideologia norte-americana, servindo assim como os antigos heróis mitológicos como um exemplo a ser seguido pelo povo.Universidade LaSalle - Unilasalle CanoasKerber, Cleiton Luiz2017-04-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/Dialogo/article/view/302710.18316/dialogo.v0i34.3027Diálogo; n. 34 (2017); p. 09-202238-90241519-3640reponame:Revista Diálogoinstname:Universidade La Salle (UNILASALLE)instacron:UNILASALLEporhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/Dialogo/article/view/3027/pdfinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-09-14T17:44:43Zoai:ojs.revistas.unilasalle.edu.br:article/3027Revistahttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/DialogoONGhttps://revistas.unilasalle.edu.br/index.php/Dialogo/oairevistas@unilasalle.edu.br||dialogo@unilasalle.edu.br2238-90241519-3640opendoar:2017-09-14T17:44:43Revista Diálogo - Universidade La Salle (UNILASALLE)false
