O ecossistema comunicativo das histórias em quadrinhos na web: semiose nas relações entre o sistema do entretenimento e o sistema tecnológico

Abstract

The Comics (comics), formerly associated with the print media today are blogs, websites, creating a specific new product (webcomics). Under the bias of semiotic, we understand how comics have changed when transmuting the printed media to digital. We used the concepts of the semiotics of culture, which suggested the dynamics of the characters studied in culture. In this sense, the comics are objects of codes and are manifested as cultural texts, and the operation is taking place in the relationship of these codes. In view of the semiotic concepts, analyze semiosis entertainment systems (comics), occurring through the interaction of the different languages - film, photography, cartoon, painting - and the relationship with the digital system (Internet). Because it is an issue that occurs at the intersection of communication and semiotics, the study takes a transdisciplinary vision and wants to correlate the existing features in both in order to understand the changes generated in the comics in the Internet environment. We start from the assumption that the internet environment is changing the language of comics, thus we analyzed five sites that publish comics, and were selected because they exhibited characteristics to prove our hypothesis. We make an observation script that was completed at the time were held data collection during the period August-September 2011, according to the dates that were posted the comics. Thus, this research is relevant because the main focus is the language of comics produced from contact with other languages of cyberspace, checking the modeling systems in this environment. It is believed that the research will contribute to the role of comic culture.
