Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the process of meaning-making in a charge by Angeli, focusing upon the representation of extreme poverty in the multimodal articulation of verbal and visual semiosis. To analyze how images and verbal texts are organized to produce meaning effects in the text, we use the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Visual Design Grammar (Kress and van Leewen, 2006) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 2004), combined with Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 2003, 2010; Ramalho and Resende, 2011).<br />Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender os processos de construção de sentidos em uma charge de Angeli, atentando para a representação da extrema pobreza no texto, na articulação multimodal entre as linguagens verbal e visual. Para analisar o modo como as imagens e os textos verbais se articulam para produzir efeitos de sentido no texto, utilizamos os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Gramática do Design Visual (Kress e van Leewen, 2006) e da Linguística Sistêmico Funcional (Halliday, 2004), aliados à Análise de Discurso Crítica (Fairclough, 2003, 2010; Ramalho e Resende, 2011).
