SUMMARY:

This doctoral research in Language Studies has as its main objectives to identify and analyze the conceptual metaphors of women in three of Ziraldo's works – “Uma professor very maluquinha” (1995); “The Supermom” (1996); “Meninas” (2016) – in order to understand how the female universe is conceptualized and represented in these children's books. In addition, this thesis aims to compare the metaphors that emerge from these works considering the semantic-ideological content and establishing relationships between the concepts and metaphors in the referred texts, presenting the particularities and/or similarities of each one when conceptualizing the feminine. For this, it is based on the theoretical assumptions of Lakoff and Johnson (1980, 2002) with regard to verbal metaphors, more precisely, in the Theory of Conceptual Metaphor, as well as multimodal metaphors, as defined by Social Semiotics and, furthermore, is based on French Discourse Analysis, with emphasis on studies by Pêcheux (1988, 1990, 1997), to analyze how discursive and imagery processes are constructed in order to enable a certain ideology (Marx and Engels, 2002) about women to is established in society, through metaphors. The idea that there are no absolute metaphors, they are cultural, therefore mapping becomes relevant to societies. To carry out the mapping, I categorized three target domains that corresponded to each book: CRAZY-WOMANTEACHER (A very crazy teacher), WOMAN-MOTHER (The supermom) and WOMANGIRL (Girls). Thus, some conceptual metaphors of Ziraldo's highlighted works were mapped and analyzed, such as: WOMAN-TEACHER IS FAIRY GODMOTHER, WOMANMOTHER IS SUPERHERO, WOMAN-GIRL IS METAMORPHOSIS. Therefore, the experientialist conception of researchers Lakoff and Johnson, as well as Marx and Engels, is confirmed. In this sense, the results of this research pointed out that although metaphors are not absolute, they emerge and are reinforced or not in a given social group, as they affect and are affected by the cultural context in which they are inserted.
