Abstract/Résumé/Resumen
It proposes the study of comic books, andtheir cultural, educational and informational role, in the context of Archival Science and, from there, seeks relations specifically with the dissemination of archives. It addresses the use of comics to aid dissemination actions, such as heritage education and archival literacy. The work arose from the need to think about the use of media not usual to the academic world to disseminate archival information, since there has been, in recent years in the academy, an emerging diversity of research that seeks toinsert the use of comics in different areas of the knowledge. The research is characterized as qualitative and uses as an object of study the compilation of strips “As aventuras de Organizado, o arquivista”. The work presents, through the strips in comics, several themes relevant to the area. Therefore, an analysis was made of the strips of the work from a categorization that deal with archival functions and their definitions according to the Brazilian Dictionary of Archival Terminology ARQUIVO NACIONAL,2005) andthe Dictionary of Library Scienceand Archival Science (CUNHA; CAVALCANTI, 2008). In addition, an interview was carried out with the author of the strips. It was concluded that there is a need to promote new media and technologies, since the use of non-traditional media can contribute to a wider dissemination of information, with the potential to reach new users and spread Archival and the archivist profession to society,and, consequently, expand the labor market in the area.
