Nausicaa and Bakhtin

Situated in the Human Sciences and, more specifically, in the field of Philosophy of Language, this monograph is an analysis of the work Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds) by Hayao Miyazaki, in its two concrete enunciations, comics and animated cinema, according to the theoretical presuppositions of the Bakhtin Circle. The need to understand Hayao Miyazaki's message through Nausicaa, from the perspective of the Bakhtin Circle, formed the justification that drove the task of developing this work. The general aim of the research is to interpret the scene "the encounter with the fox-squirrel" from the work Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds), in the comic book and film adaptation, from the theoretical assumptions of the Bakhtin Circle.
