“NA FAIXA DE GAZA”: RELAÇÕES DIALÓGICAS NA CONSTRUÇÃO DOS SENTIDOS SOBRE O CONFLITO ISRAELOPALESTINO EM CHARGES DO JOTA CAMELO NO INSTAGRAM

Abstract

Over the centuries, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has resulted in great tensions, in particular, with regard to territorial disputes. The recent attacks in the Gaza Strip represent the current manifestation of this conflict. In Brazil, in addition to the purely informational content, we observed a prolific production of statements on the topic, in which we highlight Jota Camelo's cartoons on Instagram. Our corpus consists of two cartoons collected on Jota Camelo's Instagram, from February 1st to April 1st, 2024, and is part of the database generated by the project PIBIC/CNPq/UFPB: Dialogic relations and bivocality in the construction of axiological positioning in religious statements with political themes in virtual media. We adopted a methodology of a qualitative-interpretative nature, regarding the approach to the data, and as a bibliographic and documentary research with regard to the treatment of the research corpus. To support this analysis, we use some notions developed by Bakhtin in some of his works, particularly in texts such as Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (2022 [1963]) and Aesthetics of Verbal Creation (2011 [1979]), in which we explore fundamental ideas of interest of this research are dialogical relationships and speech genres, as well as other concepts related to these notions. This research proposes, therefore, to analyze which dialogical relationships construct meanings about the Israeli-Palestinian political-ideological conflict in Jota Camelo cartoons and how the media discourse has been reinterpreted/reworked in the Brazilian political context from the cartoonist's perspective.
