Ira da natureza: uma proposta de história em quadrinhos sobre a defesa do meio ambiente

Abstract

The fight for the preservation of the environment has undoubtedly always been an agenda of great importance given the advancement of the means of production and consumerism characteristic of a capitalist economic model. We can observe that since the industrial revolutions that began in 1760, the growth rate of industries has risen, and consequently the extraction of natural resources as well. This results in an overwhelming scenario for the human species as it is increasingly approaching a point of no return with humanity removing raw materials at a higher rate than planet Earth can produce. The ability to tell a story has always been something inherent in comics, since its structuring of images in a deliberate sequence opens fields for the development of powerful visual narratives, so its ability to communicate a message or idea makes it a great media possibility to be worked on, especially when we realize the union between this communicational aptitude of the media with a social discourse. Thus, this theoretical-practical work has as its main objective the creation of a comic book of fantasy genre that has as its theme the protection of the environment, giving light to a story for an audience over 14 years old that may be able to transmit an updated message about the importance of conserving the environment, promoting awareness on the subject and the union of the population for environmental protection. For this to be possible, the development of this HQ will use the methodology of Allan Jefferson da Silva, a design methodology adapted for the production of a comic book.
