Resumen:
This article utilize the cartoons published in the journal Diário do Nordeste during 1980
decade like object passible from reading, considering the cultural history perspective. We
understand the cartoon like a journalistic text, a visual communication style socially
accepted, where an idea and/or an event is analyzed and transmitted with laughable
expressions and intend to be communicated at a big reader public. During the period
studied, which corresponds at the first decade from journal circulation, the cartoons
constructed an actuation space, divulging the representations about the news that earned
prominence in Diário’s page.
