A social activity that has existed since the dawn of humanity, communication has changed with the emergence of technologies that innovated the communicational process, initiating the emergence of the first communicational theories. These presented a more limited study on this process, mainly regarding the receiver's role in communication, which came to be considered a passive element, which reacts mechanically to what is presented to it. As new theories were being formulated, the perception of the receiver's role changed, improving how communication relations are processed. However, it was only later that communication was perceived as an interdisciplinary field, considering other areas' contributions and how such an aspect could hinder the delimitation of its object of study as an autonomous discipline. KEYWORDS-Communication; communicational theories; interdisciplinarity RESUMO-Ato social existente desde os primórdios da humanidade, a comunicação alterou-se com o surgimento das tecnologias que inovaram o processo comunicacional, dando início ao surgimento das primeiras teorias comunicacionais. Estas apresentavam um estudo mais limitado sobre tal processo, principalmente quanto ao papel do receptor na comunicação, que chegou a ser considerado um elemento passivo, que reage de forma mecanicista ao que lhe é apresentado. Conforme novas teorias foram sendo formuladas, mudou-se a percepção do papel do receptor, aprimorando a visão de como se processam as relações comunicacionais. Mas, foi somente mais tarde, que se percebeu a comunicação como campo interdisciplinar, considerando as contribuições de outras áreas e como tal aspecto poderia dificultar a delimitação de seu objeto de estudo, enquanto disciplina autônoma.

The present article intends to give a new approach to the reading of texts of the extemporaneous periods and, for that, it was necessary to create a new term that corresponded to this expectation: iconophotology. Reading and understanding images and rhetorical texts from the 16 th , 17 th and 18 th centuries, a reader would have to have access to signs keys to which only readers of that moment had access: the iconologies. However, such referential has been lost; therefore, we have to replace it with another one, from our imagetic-photographic collection, which we call iconophotological.

This article proposes a new approach to reading texts from extemporaneous periods and, for this, it was necessary to create new terms that corresponded to this expectation: iconophotology and photographic poems. For contemporary readers to read and understand rhetorical texts of the 16th, 17th, and 18th-centuries, they would have to have access to sign keys to which only its readers had access: iconologies. However, this reference has been lost, so we replaced it with another one, based on the photographic-imagery collection that we have today, which we call iconophotological. By means of it, it will be possible to read, from the contemporary point of view (not from a 17th-century point of view, for example) the poems we call photographic.

This article aims to discuss the combination between word and image in the composition of sequential narratives; therefore, its theme is related to the reading and interdisciplinary concepts applied to comics. Comics language, which is rich in meaning, requires the effort at reading, that complement each other; and such assumption converges with the interdisciplinary principle that seeks cooperation between different factors for the promotion of knowledge. Considering the importance of "interdisciplinarity" to the reading of comics, this paper analyses the conceptions of the term "reading" and identifies the necessary elements for understanding the verbal-imagetic language; it also discusses the theoretical assumptions of the interdisciplinary principle applied to education. The analysis corpus is a literary adaptation of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. The qualitative method by use of bibliographical survey based on the discussion of this work.

Humanity uses images to represent and present the world to his own reality. However, is it possible, really, through them to know your referent? This article tries to demonstrate how they, especially the photographic, might never be considered a reliable representation of the real, due to a series of elements inherent to its process, that will interfere in its reality and the eternalization of something that, often, it did not occur as if it were portrayed. For this, we will use documentary photographs, in whose analysis, it was verified that, due to the interpretation, another reality can be constructed.

– The imagery avalanche to which we are exposed daily renders us
submissive to the power of the image, without the full awareness of such submission. The media takes advantage of this phenomenon to launch an infinity of information, photos and videos, which are
impossible to be absorbed critically by its public in its entirety. Resistance to such submission facilitates the loss of autonomy
and critical potential of the subjects receiving information. The work of
Reginald Rose, "Twelve Angry Men", provokes such reflections in narrating the story of a trial in which eleven jurors vote for the conviction of a defendant, accused of killing the father stabbed, against only a 
jury that votes for his innocence, not by believing in it, but by doubting the evidence presented. As he makes his statements, other jurors also come to question the innocence of the defendant. A reflection of
how individuals should resist already constructed truths, developing critical and analytical potential.

This article aims to present the Christus Militans, mosaic of the archbishop's chapel of Ravenna, a work that attracts attention not only for its beauty but above all for its theme. This is because, accustomed to the peaceful and saving message of Christ, the reader can be led into estrangement by seeing represented a Christ whose image resembles a soldier. In addition, we intend to discuss the iconological issue and its tradition present in this representation.

After being photographed by Secondo Pia in May 1898, the Shroud of Turin proved to be more than a mere medieval relic: it becomes a true source of archaeological imagery, providing a wealth of information about a capital punishment widely used in the Roman world, but that there was not much scientific information available: crucifixion. Thus, following an interdisciplinary line, this article seeks to rescue, through the imagery question, not only the burial rites belonging to the ancient peoples, but also anatomical aspects revealed by the possible mortuary sheet of Jesus, pointed out by the first scientists who decided to study it.

In this article, we intend to reflect on the use of imagistic elements and
their sources in colonial Brazil, especially in the poetry of Gregório de Matos, seventeenth
century Brazilian poet. Moreover, we intend to demonstrate that, despite the distance from
the Metropole (Portugal), the colony was also, in a certain way, immersed in the same sea
of images and topical of that, as well as of the imagistic European tradition of the period,
making large use of them in his poetics work, regardless of whether or not the artist has
written the poems that are attributed to him.

RESUMO O principal objetivo deste artigo é discutir as formas de representação de São Pedro ao longo da história imagética do cristianismo, para mostrar as diferenças entre Pedro, apóstolo de Cristo, e Pedro, Papa da Igreja Católica Romana. Dessa maneira, chegaremos à arte renascentista portuguesa, a fim de fazermos a leitura da pintura homônima, do pintor português Vasco Fernandes, conhecido por Grão Vasco. Inicialmente, serão levantados aspectos iconográficos relacionados à estrutura da composição figurativa. A seguir, será feita uma análise iconológica na tentativa de percepção dos significados políticos e ideológicos possíveis de serem atribuídos à própria composição figurativa. ABSTRACT The main purpose of this article is to discuss the forms of representation of St. Peter throughout the imagistic history of Christianity, to show the differences between Peter, the apostle of Christ, and Peter, Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. In this way, we will arrive at Portuguese Renaissance art, in order to read the homonymous painting by the Portuguese painter Vasco Fernandes, known as Grão Vasco. Initially, related iconographic aspects to the structure of the figurative composition will be presented. Next, an iconological analysis will be done in the attempt to perceive the possible political and ideological meanings to be attributed to the own figurative composition.

This article intends to analyze the Enlightenment concept of autonomy in education through the pedagogical thought of Kant, whose principle is based on the use of the universal reason for identification and overcoming the condition of minority of the individual. In Freire, we have an adaptation of the philosophical and pedagogical thought of the German philosopher, whose focus is the approach of autonomy in the social, political and pedagogical sense. Thus, we will focus on the conception of education and autonomy in Kant, emphasizing the categorical imperative of will, sensitivity and understanding to analyze the pedagogical concept of autonomy from Freire's reflections in order to seek a better autonomy application in our schools.

RESUMO – Este artigo pretende discorrer acerca da importância não só de se conhecer a questão etimológica do termo imagem – de modo especial a partir da comparação tanto com os termos gregos correspondentes, eikón e eidolon, quanto do latino imago –, como também demonstrar seu poder intimidatório e coercitivo, empregado há milênios. De posse dessas informações, buscaremos exemplificar como tais termos foram empregados por Homero e Virgílio, coligindo suas peculiaridades, a fim de que possamos conhecer não apenas o conceito em si, mas suas implicações linguísticas. Assim, poderemos compreender a imagem não mais como mera cópia inintencional do mundo exterior, mas como demonstração intencional de força e de poder empregada desde Antiguidade por muitos povos, mas que ainda mantêm a mesma eficácia em nossos dias, conforme exemplificaremos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Imagem, poder coercitivo, etimologia, fotografia, iconofotologia ABSTRACT – This article aims to discuss about the importance of not only knowing the etymological question of image term – especially from the comparison with the corresponding Greek terms, eikon and eidolon, and with the Latin imago – as well as demonstrate its intimidatory and coercive power, used for millennia. With this information, we will seek to exemplify how these terms were employed by Homer and Virgil, collecting their peculiarities, so that we can know not only the concept itself, but its linguistic implications. Thus, we can understand the image no longer as mere unintentional copy of the outside world, but as a deliberate show of force and power used since ancient times by many people, but still maintain the same efficiency in our day, as shall illustrate.

From the image of λόγος offered by the St. John’s Gospel, we will trace in this article the correlation between the incarnation of the divine λόγος and the creation of human
λόγος. When the human being created his λόγος , opened to himself some perspectives: to nominate and to create; to dominate and to destroy. However through the poetical language that the humanity closes to the divinity and the eternity, because the poem creates a proper and mythical world, where always there is the present; therefore it breaches with the ratio  and with the considered
normal  language, represented by prose.

The article will approach some information concerning the image from the search for realism in the Renaissance painting and its concretion in the photograph. For this,
it is necessary to list some concepts as imagery vision in the Middle Ages and its transition for Renaissance and the establishment of the painting as a liberal art. Besides, we will also argue the executed role by the science in the result and role of the obscura camera both in art as in the formation of the photographic image.

RESUMO – A interdisciplinaridade, inserida no contexto da educação infantil, tem sido vista como um princípio pedagógico capaz de reformular a prática educativa. Para este trabalho, temos três objetivos, a saber: a) compreender o termo interdisciplinaridade e como ele é utilizado na educação infantil; b) investigar como se estabelece a interdisciplinaridade na aquisição das linguagens verbais e não verbais em crianças de zero a três anos; c) identificar os benefícios e os entraves da implantação da interdisciplinaridade como prática pedagógica nas escolas de educação infantil. ABSTRACT– Interdisciplinarity, in the context of early childhood education, has been seen as a pedagogical principle capable of reformulating educational practice. For this study, we have three objectives: (i) to understand the term " interdisciplinarity " and how it is used in early childhood education; (ii) to investigate how the interdisciplinarity is established in the acquisition of verbal and non-verbal languages for 0-3-year-old children; (iii) to identify the benefits and obstacles of the implementation of interdisciplinarity as pedagogical practice in early childhood education.

We intend to reflect on the use of imagistic elements and its sources in German 17th century and to demonstrate that the literature of the Baroque doesn’t have to be understood as poetical of personal experiences in the contemporary’s sense. Most artists and poets inserted in the social context of the German Baroque was immersed in a sea of images and topics, making large use of these in his poetical work. For that, he used as inspired source not only of the

When published in 1989, the Carbon-14 testing results of the Turin Shroud, many scientists, agnostics and theists of various religious groups not Catholic celebrated its
result before “unmasking” of the strange relic. They forgot, however, that the history
of art, rather than documented for centuries, demonstrates exactly the opposite: its imagery would be inconceivable between 1260 to 1390, a period appointed as its probable creation.

Para demonstrar sua abrangência, servir-nos-emos de uma pintura do artista holandês David Bailly, que explorará várias de suas imagens em seu autorretrato, cotejando-as com as fontes bíblicas e com um gênero coetâneo, a emblemática. Abstract: A concept much discussed in seventeenth-century art was the vanitas, gender employed by various artists in the period, but that extended even to our days. To demonstrate its reach, we will serve a painting of the Dutch artist David Bailly, who will explore several of his concepts in his self-portrait, comparing them with the biblical sources and with a coeval gender, the emblematic genre.

De este modo, para que sea posible tal transformación, la ruptura con los conceptos preestablecidos y preconcebidos es indispensable. Por lo tanto, con referencia a la ruta tomada por los personajes de la tríada en su lucha contra sus antagonistas, los representantes de las dificultades del héroe hacia su objetivo, su viaje se pueden comparar con la saga de otros héroes arquetípicos. Palabras claves: Douglas e o Livro de Luz, héroe, lectura crítica, transformación pedagógica, interdisciplinaridad. Abstract This article aims to discuss, from an interdisciplinary point of view, such the Jack Brandão's work Douglas e o Livro de Luz (Douglas and the Light's Book) when addressing the asceticism of the hero towards the knowledge of the world and yourself – through research and rational thinking of the world around him – presents the transformation of uncritical, dogmatic reader to a non-critical and not dogmatic. So, for such this transformation, it is essential and indispensable to break with pre-established concepts and preconceived. Thus, with reference to the path taken by characters triad in their struggle against their antagonists, representatives of the difficulties of the hero towards his goal, his journey can be compared to the saga of other archetypal heroes.

With this article, we pretend to analyse the intertextuality between Bertold Brecht's poetry and that of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, under the perspective of The Second World War. The German poetry of Bertold Brecht is still not yet translated fully to Potuguese. The author a vast work and countless poems that were put together in the book "Die Geschichte von Bertold Brecht", where he portrays the his pain, suffering and nonconformity towards the nazi regime in Germany between the the two great wars. All that from an open left political point of view. Drummond, on the other hand, has a vastly read and appreciated work in Brazil. The poems I chose for my analysis are from the book "A Rosa do Povo"-published in 1945-considered by the critics as one of the most poetic and political. I tried to base my research using Hannah Arendt, John Willet, Eric Hobsbawm, Alfredo Bosi e Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna, among others.

This article seeks to introduce briefly an imagery-mythological survey present in the poetry attributed to Gregório de Matos, author from the 17th Century Brazilian, whose rich material assigned to it permeates several themes in the lyrical genre: the religious, the
love poetry or the satirical (from which the nickname "Hell’s Mouth "). Despite being an apocryphal material, and no date set, the images employed by the poet, demonstrate not only
great knowledge of rhetorical precepts from the 17th Century, as well as his job and mastery of them. This is clear when he uses different sources, such as biblical, mythological,
medieval and humanist (which sought to amalgamate them), as well as contemporary authors, especially the Spanish. In this way, we will cover, in particular, poems dealing with
the pagan wonderful. We employ, by way of illustration, pictorial and iconological images from the 17th Century iconological images that address some of the deities employed by the poet, since such images permeated the Weltanschauung of the period.

Much is said, currently, about revenge and their reach: how far somebody can go when it comes to take revenge on someone; or, still, it is ethically and morally acceptable? It would not be a mere reproduction of human irrationality formed along the construction of society, “a kind of
wild justice,” according to Bacon? If it is justiable, to what extent could be feasible? And if
revenge is the result of an error, a mistake? We could here raise several questions that would not be capable of being included in an article, however what we ask is: how revenge was treated over the centuries in literature and imagery representation. In addition, we ask ourselves: would it be possible to “take revenge”, employing the text and photography?

history as the appearing of lógos (from elements of nature), the search for realism in

romantics; the appearing and the fullness of the photographic image; the release of the

RESUMO-Este artigo objetiva o estudo analítico das linguagens verbal e não verbal presentes nas histórias em quadrinhos (tiras), com o intuito de verificar como a união das duas linguagens presentes no gênero é eficiente enquanto mecanismo auxiliador no processo de compreensão da mensagem transmitida. Enfatiza-se ainda a importância da parceria autor-leitor e de outros elementos como essenciais para que a leitura do (con)texto aconteça, enfatizando-se a força do texto não verbal nesse processo. Esta investigação está alicerçada nos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Textual e, em especial, do conceito de coerência, utilizando-se da leitura e análise de tiras elucidativas da personagem Mafalda, criação do cartunista argentino Quino, nos anos 60. PALAVRAS-CHAVE-coerência; linguística textual; linguagem verbal; linguagem não verbal; história em quadrinhos.

This research is based on theoretical assumption of textual linguistics and, in a special way, in the coherence concept, using Reading and analysis on some Mafalda character‖s comics as examples of creation of Argentinian cartoonist Quino, in sixties.

Somos seres iconotrópicos, por isso temos a necessidade, quase incontrolável, por imagens: ansiamos por elas, buscamo-las intensamente, caçamos inclusive seus rastros, não importando sequer seu suporte: somos atraídos por seu poder de sedução. Evidentemente, tal fato foi potencializado na sociedade tecnicista em que estamos inseridos, devido a sua ubiquidade, proporcionada pelas diversas mídias existentes: não há, portanto, como fugir delas.
Tal fato, em si, não se constitui em um problema, mas o de negarmos seu jugo e seu poder sobre nós, sim. Ao agirmos dessa maneira, tornamo-nos presas fáceis de seus desmandos, levando-nos, por exemplo, a aceitar e a compactuar, de maneira passiva, com aberrações e atrocidades contra nossos semelhantes, muitas vezes sob os auspícios de se fazer o bem, como o que ocorreu na Alemanha nazista.
Por meio do emprego sistemático de imagens e de sua exploração metódica em propagandas, os nazistas reconfiguraram o conceito que os alemães possuíam não só dos portadores de deficiência, fossem físicas ou mentais, como também dos comunistas, dos judeus e dos ciganos, ao associar-lhes a figuras horrendas, caricatas, demoníacas.
Assim, isso se torna possível porque, ao não aceitar a lógica do poder iconotrópico da imagem sobre nós, aliado ao fato de a massa não ter costume de questionar aquilo que recebe, aqueles que a dominam valem-se disso para construir/desconstruir a verdade que quiserem.
