A hibridização de técnicas de linguagem de Maus como técnicas de quadrinhos e jornalismo aplicadas em uma obra tornam ela um expoente em sua mídia

Abstract

This academic work aims to research the production techniques of the comico book Maus, written and designed by Art Spiegelman and originally published in 1980. The work uses narrative resources specific to comics, a hybrid art, which contains text and image, but in addition the author appropriates journalism techniques for the construction of the script, as well as an artistic choice with an implicit meaning of anthropomorphizing the characters of the story, thus making the work an initially possible work of transcription only in the media that was conceived. Therefore, this article aims to relate the production techniques of the original work and comment on the reasons that make it a specific example of comic journalism. In addition to this proposed relationship, there is also the intention of presenting a basic definition of what is comic journalism, a current that uses an art, comic strips, with a strand of applied social sciences, journalism, thus generating specific content that does not falls within the common limits of analysis. It is not by chance that the work gained só much notoriety that the Pulitzer Prize, specialized in literature and journalism, in 1992 had to create a specific category to reward Maus.
