Leitura no ensino médio a partir de uma perspectiva multimodal: efeitos de sentido possíveis no gênero tiras

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) has emphasized the importance of a multimodal or multi-semiotic approach to language practices in educational institutions. However, the document does not provide guidance on the theoretical and methodological bases that can be used to implement such an approach in classrooms. Therefore, our aim here is to propose a possible multimodal approach to the comic strip genre for high school students. We have used studies on multimodality and language metafunctions by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2020) and studies on comic book genres by Scott McCloud (1995) and Ramos (2017), focusing on the strips, as our theoretical framework. For our methodological basis, we conducted a qualitative-interpretative document analysis of strips from the "Téo & o Mini Mundo” series by Caetano Cury. Our research results indicate that the analyzed strips make use of different language modes to construct possible meaning effects. We believe that studying these multimodal dimensions of genres beyond the verbal mode can enhance high school students' reading comprehension and interpretation.
