The manuscript scholar of comics: the image-text in building the topic of discourse

Abstract

Inserted in the field of study of Textual Genetics and assuming as a basis theoretical‑methodological studies on school manuscripts of the processes and scripture in act of students newly‑literate (CALIL, 2008, 2009), this work analyzes the construction of the topic discursive (LINS, 2008) from the sequence of images offered by a history in comics of Monica’s Gang. Our object of research is the manuscript “O Cebolinha Atrapalhado”, written by two students of 2 year of Basic Education, and use program ELAN to transcribe and analyze the dialog between the students. We note that the topic discursive built by the interpretation of the students is done from the highlight of some elements of image isolated related to the action of the character and each comic and not by the articulation narrative between them.
