A Guerra do Paraguai / Guerra Guasu a partir de histórias em quadrinhos, aulas oficina e de uma mirada comparada (Brasil e Paraguai)

Abstract

The present dissertation, entitled A Guerra do Paraguai/Guasu from Comics, Aulas Oficina and from a comparative perspective (Brazil and Paraguay), aims to present, from a comparative approach, the groups/protagonists that were represented in the comics. In this sense, this work is characterized as a qualitative research of a historiographical nature with a theoretical contribution from Cultural Studies and a methodological contribution from Comparative History. The choice of this type of study is consistent with an interdisciplinary epistemology pointing to Subjects and Languages; through theoretical analyzes of the dynamic relationships constructed and represented in the comics, Adeus, chamigo brasileiro: A history of the Paraguayan War by André Toral (2008) and Guerra contra la Triple Alianza: viver o morir by Pertile Enzo (2011). In this way, we break with the positivist and Cartesian perspective of problematizing History. We do not necessarily seek to highlight the similarities between the works mentioned, but the differences in relation to the other Brazilian (a) / Paraguayan (a), supported, above all, in the perspective on the difference / other brought by the author Homi Babha. The sustained hypothesis is that comics, as a social and historical phenomenon, are subject to the incorporation of aspects of society and culturally forged references. The research results, so far, reinforce the need to take a new look at comics in the sociocultural context and blurring identity boundaries, as well as the stereotypes in relation to comics as an object of studies and research.
