Child comic strip characters in several media: a matter of circulation, aphorization and stereotyping

Abstract

The goal of this paper is approach the matter of comic strips circulation in several medias. Observing that these texts, first published in newspapers, are also present in other textual media, we defend, analyzing their publication in compilations, that this fact implies a certain impact on how one perceives the authorial instance . Using the notion of authorship, we argue that a compilation of strips represents, to the comic strips author, a possibility of entering the world of Literature, causing him to be assigned roles and functions in different authorship dimensions. Approaching also the use of comic strips with childish characters (or their characters) in a social networking website, we argue that the functioning of the stereotype “incomplete child” in this textual support suggests an approximation with the regime of aphorizing enunciation, given the particular use that is made of these characters in this social network.
