O fenômeno midiático One Piece: uma análise do feminino através das personagens Nami e Nico Robin no anime

Abstract

One Piece is a Japanese work created by Eiichiro Oda and launched, firstly, as mangá (1994) and, later, as anime (1999). The series is the biggest selling and it tells the story of a pirate crew commanded by the captain Mokey D. Luffy, which is the main character. Nami and Nico Robin are the only women in the crew and they have different discourses. In this sense, it is aimed to investigate the female representation on anime One Piece focusing the discursive and imagery of these two characters. It is opted for looking at this theme by the lenses of comparative multiple case study (BECKER, 2000), besides using as methodological tool the semiologic analysis proposed by Eliseo Verón (2004) and Adair Caetano Peruzzolo (1998), in order to describe discursively the feminine through the actions during the plot and also identifying the different constructions of female figure. One Piece is an editorial and cinematographic phenomenon. From these characteristics, it can be considered as mediatic. It is observed, as a last consideration, that Nico Robin represents the mature woman and Nami is the girl in a transition to become a woman.
