Resumo:
This thesis examines the intersection of myth, feminism, and comics in Brazil, exploring how myths about women are constructed, perpetuated, and challenged through visual storytelling. By applying Roland Barthes semiological approach to myth, this study identifies recurring themes related to beauty, body, sexuality, motherhood, and mental health in feminist comics and cartoons. The research is conducted through a combination of visual analysis and practice-led inquiry, using examples from prominent Brazilian feminist cartoonists, as well as the author s own artistic practice. The study traces the historical development of feminist comics, from early political caricatures to contemporary webcomics, highlighting the challenges and achievements of female cartoonists in Brazil. It also addresses the broader socio-political context in which these comics are created, considering issues of gender, race, and representation. By analyzing visual language and recurring symbols in contemporary Brazilian feminist comics, this thesis reveals how feminist comics re-signify traditional myths, transforming them into tools of resistance and empowerment. Ultimately, this research contributes to the understanding of comics as a form of feminist discourse and artistic activism. It demonstrates how visual narratives serve not only as reflections of societal struggles but also as means of rewriting dominant ideologies.
