Apropriação da informação por meio da leitura de histórias em quadrinhos de super-heróis

Abstract

Comic books (comics) can initially be seen as leisure and entertainment objects. However, this research indicates, based on the assumption that all readings can add value to their readers, to reading practices of specific comics - heroes have great importance, through the information appropriation contained in the pages of comics, they can increase, alter, and reformulate knowledge within the reader's cognitive framework in their daily lives and vivid experiences. In this sense, it was used as a field research methodology, with its conjecture being descriptive. To this end, qualitative research was conducted, descriptively and through an open and in-depth interview, with a sample of non-probabilistic readers, residing in Goiânia - GO and frequenting the Mandrake Comic Shop comic shop. The concepts of ethnomethodology, as postulated by Garfinkel (1967), and topical life history postulated by Minayo (2011) were used to analyze the data. It is concluded that readers carry out the act of appropriating the information disclosed in readings of the superhero genre of comic books, meeting needs that arise in moments after these readings, in one or more aspects of their daily lives, generating with this the recognition of the meaning and meanings contained in the information once commented.
