Abstract

This work is supposed to investigate the relationships between photograph and comics, analyzing three examples in which these relationships are presented in a particular way: the books Maus, by Art Spiegelman; Waltz with Bashir, by Ari Folman and David Polonsky; and The Photographer, by Didier Lefèvre, Emmanuel Guibert and Frédéric Lemerciel. The main goal is to understand Goethe’s notion of Weltliteratur under a contemporary perspective, in which the literature totalization occurs not only through the adventure of idiom and culture alterity, but also through the cross of very different narrative languages. Therefore, this work wishes to offer a kind of model for the analysis of multimodal works, which do not have a solid theory for them yet – precisely because they are something new.
