It explores not only its history, but also its mutations at the narrative level, used supports and how these new potentialities are changing the paradigms as we know them today.In the theoretical component of this project, firstly, we will approachthe path that the visual narratives have taken along the history of Man before becoming the language of Comics we know today. It is from this starting point that these narratives, that go beyond the idea of a book, or even conventional reading, will be analyzed. This is the case of webcomics, an increasingly emerging support which is worthy of analysis. In these, we can find not only a wide variety of expressions, techniques and narratives, but also a creative freedom that doesn’t not bow to any editor.. It is from these webcomics and their potential, that this dissertation is based on, more specifically on the desire to share ideas and the advent of social networks and their language. Based on these assumptions, this theoretical-practical dissertation will be complemented by a practical component, which aims to show this evolution through comic strips and other drawings, created by the author, that are inspired by analog and digital technologies. The practical work will also watch out for aspects that are parallel to the works of other artists, to in this way, we can learn more about their processes and approaches.porBanda desenhadaRedes sociaisDigitalizaçãoWebcomicsComunicaçãomaster thesis202785440
