The gaps of a strange fruit: comics and belonging in Andei por entre as frestas e te trouxe flores, pedras e algumas miudezas, by Paulo Crumbim

Abstract

It aims to analyze the work Andei por entre as frestas e te trouxe flores pedras e algumas miudezas, by Paulo Crumbim from the perspective of non-specificity, that is, the development of a narrative that explores unusual paths for language. Based on studies in the field of sequential art, especially by authors such as Barbara Postema, Thierry Groesteen,Wolfgang Iser and Paulo Ramos a basis for comic books was built to recognize what makes this work singularly strange in its composition method. The use of gaps in the text within this work amplifies how switching generally happens to the reader, making this comic a decentralized work, a concept explored by Florencia Garramuño and which served to synthesize the driving force created in this narrative that is so important for contemporary Brazilian comics.
