The textual genre comic strips under the light Gilles Fauconneir

Abstract

The present study is a reflection on the Cognitivist Theory, based on the reading of Mental Spaces, from the point of view of Gilles Fauconnier. Fauconnier's cognitive approach is applied to the textual genre comic strips to illustrate the occurrence of the comprehension process that is based on Mental Spaces. As a discursive genre, we seek to conceptualize the comic strip to situate it as an important object of reading. The proposed analysis is directed to the Armandinho comic strips  produced by cartoonist Alexandre Beck.
