Indexação de xilogravuras à luz da Semântica Discursiva

Abstract

Studies an indexing of woodcuts whose expressed images represent narratives of memory and popular culture, evoking in his readers plural perceptions and sensations. General objective is to present a proposed methodology for indexing images, especially woodcuts, considering the theoretical-methodological framework of Discursive Semantics. Use the descriptive and exploratory methodology based on the qualitative approach, with the universe comprising the cord leaflets whose woodcuts and verses were used by the poet and woodcutter Marcelo Soares. Seeks theoretical-methodological support in semantic discourse, privileging the processes of figuration and thematization, with no intention of contributing to the significant production of semantic metadata in image indexing. Consider that an analysis of images such as woodcuts must be based on, use, visual narrative and semantic articulation of the same with the content of sources related to these resources (such as title, captions, package verses and tags assigned by users in a given system), contemplating the figurative and thematic procedures of Discursive Semantics. Finds that Discursive Semantics is a tool that helps index professionals to be sure that they are much closer to the themes portrayed in the woodcuts.
