Quadrinhos e afetos : um olhar autobiográfico.

Abstract

This thesis explores, through the practice of “embodied writing”, my artistic creation process based on personal experiences and the relationship with comic books and visual arts. Inspired by theorists such as Julia Kristeva, Michel Foucault, and Carl Jung, the research examines the intersection between autobiographical comics and contemporary art’s theories with emphasis on art-healing, using the artistic project "Eu, euzinha" as a practical example of the hybridism between both areas, not with the intention of self-proclaiming as a comic, but of showcasing it's influences on my creative process. The thesis reflects on the challenges of reconciling the comic book’s language with the visual arts system, highlighting the scarcity of academic research on this subject. Based on that, this work proposes an intimate and introspective approach, connecting creative processes with emotional healing and offering a new perspective for visual arts studies, especially in the context of contemporary art and its margins.
