Percepções cognitivas e representações visuais nas relações Sino-Brasileiras: uma análise sobre vários aspectos

Abstract

This paper investigates the cognitive perceptions and visual representations present in the Sino-Brazilian relations through a multidisciplinary approach that combines cognitive psychology, foreign policy, and visual communication studies. The aim is to understand how Chinese individuals were initially perceived and represented by Brazil since the gradual abolition of slavery during the 19th century, taking into account cultural values and historical narratives, as well as highlighting the role of media, discourses, and artistic expressions in this process. The expected results will contribute to an understanding of the cognitive dynamics and visual dimensions that Brazilian foreign policy makers can exert during the construction of China's image, as well as in the dissemination of information about the Asian country. Qualitative methods, such as literature review and content analysis of visual materials, in addition to quantitative cases studies.
