Abstract

This paper analyzes the covers of the comics magazine Sesinho and the visual construction in different times, in the periods 1947\1960 and 2001\2011, using as theoretical method Stuart Hall’s model, that defines communication as
a structure that is created and sustained in the articulation of different but linked moments, that consists in the steps of production-circulation, distribution and absorption. In this process, the coding and decoding represent discursive practices of production of meaning, that can influence, entertain, instruct and persuade the receiver. This study’s object is the magazine Sesinho, created 65 years ago
by SESI – Serviço Social da Indústria and, even directed to children, its content is being absorbed by different generations. The magazine’s analysis was made with
selection of the material from different years, between 1940 and 1960, and the covers produced in the first decade of XXI century.
