O grimório das 4 luas: o feminino e o sagrado feminino nas HQs poético-filosóficas

Abstract

Comic books are a form of art with multiple approaches, and among them, there is a self-authored genre considered "genuinely Brazilian," as defined by Santos Neto (2009): poetic-philosophical comics. In this genre, self-authored comics flow freely, allowing the creator/cartoonist to express themselves according to their own vision. Poetic-philosophical comics explore existential and philosophical aspects, with the creative freedom to shape themselves according to the narrative's needs. Their main

characteristics include a philosophical narrative approach, experimentation with tradi- tional comic codes, and a proposal for short or unconventional stories. Thus, they

can explore themes ranging from existential inquiries about humanity to Cyberpunk narratives or the exploration of the creator's internal conflicts, among a myriad of

possibilities. This dissertation is the result of a theoretical and practical research con- ducted by a cartoonist and researcher who identified the presence of the concept of

the sacred feminine as one of the recurring themes in poetic-philosophical comics. I highlight the sacred feminine present in the creative production of Danielle Barros, as

well as in the works of Edgar Franco (Ciberpajé) and Gazy Andraus, important repre- sentatives of the poetic-philosophical genre. The investigation involves studying the

singularities of poetic-philosophical comics, their perspective as a legitimate artistic expression, the study of the concept of the sacred feminine, and its detection in the comics of the cartoonists focused on this research. This research, both theoretical

and artistic, involves the simultaneous creation of poetic-philosophical comic narrati- ves that address the sacred feminine from the artist-researcher's poetic perspective.

For this purpose, traditional methods for paper support are used in some of these narratives, while in others, the syntax of HQtrônicas is explored.
