Stone after stone: a desconstrução da charge rupestre de Dan Piraro

Abstract

The present research deals with the relationship created by Dan Piraro between prehistory and the contemporary world, based on his cartoons. In them are contained communication processes, the technological improvement promoted by man, cultural processes and human social behavior. We seek here, using the deconstruction proposed by Jacques Derrida, how the graphic narratives present in the rupestrian cartoons of Dan Piraro portray social processes in contemporary times. For that, it was necessary to undertake a journey to identify how the image and the writing are related in the human communication trajectory; understand how rock art and cartoons become the communication of everyday human and; to describe how deconstruction elucidates the daily narratives in Dan Piraro's cartoons. We study the adventures of human communication, portraying it from the beginning, weaving a parallel between rock art and the cartoon in the construction of daily life. The methodological approach was based on deconstruction, documentary research and a qualitative approach. In data collection, the techniques of documentary analysis and analysis of graphic narratives were used. After analyzing the cartoons, it was possible to see that Dan Piraro portrays the human daily life in a way that goes beyond borders, elucidating that afflictions are common to different societies.
