Résumé:
This paper analise some of the comic representations on "Diretas Já", which was a
political movement that has noticed all of the country in search of a new political
representative that is elected through direct elections. At about 1983 the oppositions
launch the campaign for direct elections for president. These changes were
appropriate and represented in a comic by chroniclers as: Afonso Marreiro, Fred
Ozanan e Kennyo Alex. The way these cartoonists represented the events and
characters of Brazilian politics, helps us understand the government of the time and
the movement of "Diretas Já". We propose to analyze the cartoons of these
newspapers, Diário da Borborema and the Journal of Paraíba to identify the intent of
these cartoonists through their respective trait. For analysis and interpretation of
visual sources we have considered the methodological approach proposed by Carlos
Ginzburg, the evidentiary method, which works with the interpretation, anchored on
tracks, signs, signals, allowing us to make numerous readings of historical sources
among them the charge. We still use the visual method of hermeneutics, which
considers the image as the main object of study. In this sense taking humor as a
political text, analyze the representations of the "Diretas Já" by these cartoonists.
