| Summary: | OBJECTIVES: Investigate the narrative construction processes of the comic book Watchmen, based in the concepts of intertextuality, intersemioticity, polyphony, dialogism and unending; examine the way the artwork establish a foucaultian critic to the control society; develop the analysis of the thematicanalytical points of the distopic fiction, of the cultural-historical context of the Cold War and of the intersemioticities with Ésquilo s Chained Prometheus and with Mary Shelley s Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus. RELEVANCE: Watchmen is a very rich construct in terms of language and of content. In its almost four hundred pages, it offers to the reader a complex semiosis, full of cultural-artistic references taken from various sources. These referentials install on the watchmenian narrative also their languages and their significates, and they are added of a characters discourses perspective that is polyphonic and dialogical, in the same basis Bakhtin worked these perspectives over Dostoiévski s oeuvre. And, following the bakhtinian shaping, the story is not ended as a concluding synthesis. Over the years, Watchmen has been considered a paradigmatic work and has been said in various instances as the best comic book ever written. Hypothesis: Watchmen is constructed as a nonlinear and multi-layered narrative, with a multiplicity of signifying levels that make it a narrative mosaic in which co-exist e to which converge all of its referentials. METHODOLOGIC-THEORETICAL ASPECTS: the research is bibliographical, applying on the object the theoretical topics. REACHED RESULTS: The intertextualities of the comic book established it as a narrative focused on the history and on the creative and conceptual developments of its own genre. The intersemioticities revealed the possibility of the construction of an artistic architecture fulfilled with different language and contents, in multiple levels, constituting a polissemy. The bakhtinian elaborations of the polyphony, dialogism and unending showed adequate to direct applyings to Watchmen, setting the comic book as polyphonic, dialogical and opened |
