Doce epifania: a construção do ser e o resgate do amor-próprio em uma história em quadrinhos, sob influência da individuação junguiana e da lírica do BTS

Abstract

This research is configured as an indirect autofiction that resulted in the creation of a comic book set in a fictional, fantastic, and symbolic universe. The constructed narrative explores, metaphorically, the process of seeking self-knowledge and, above all, self-love in the journey of a character that reflects the author's internal experiences. For the construction of the comic book narrative, concepts from Jungian psychoanalysis were articulated with reflections on love and self-knowledge present in contemporary perspectives, in addition to sensitive dialogues with musical productions by the group BTS, which contributed to the creation of atmospheres, scenarios, and metaphors. While the theoretical basis enabled the elaboration of the symbolism and psychic structure of the narrative, the songs helped transform these concepts into images and feelings, allowing the translation of internal conflicts into visual elements that structure the problems experienced by the character.
