Women in poetry and comics: multimodal dialogue between John Keats and Edna St. Vincent Millay
Resumo
O formato do gibi teve um aumento visível no número de leitores que escolheram esse meio para aprofundar os processos de criação de sentido em textos multimodais. No entanto, pouco foi dito até agora sobre a adaptação de certos gêneros literários à forma dos quadrinhos. É o caso da poesia, da poesia narrativa, em particular, ilustrada neste estudo na célebre balada “La belle dame sans merci” (1819), de John Keats, e do soneto moderno “A cantora da beira da madeira” (1920), da poeta feminista americana Edna St. Vincent Millay. Após duas adaptações recentes ao formato cômico desses poemas, esta pesquisa explora a partir de uma abordagem comparativa os processos semióticos que estão em jogo na representação das mulheres em ambas as obras do ponto de vista de seus respectivos poetas. Esta pesquisa também estuda a visão das mulheres do ponto de vista das artistas gráficas correspondentes para examinar mudanças na representação das mulheres na poesia a partir da imagem romântica, à visão das mulheres desde o início do século XX, até os dias atuais.
