Source text - Portuguese RESUMO
Este trabalho objetiva discutir como as representações de sujeitos que fogem à heteronormatividade nas histórias em quadrinhos traz à tona um discurso dominante construído e pautado em uma "matriz heterossexual", frequentemente reproduzido como natural. Para tanto, recorremos às pontuações dos estudos queer para analisar como os protagonistas das histórias cômicas brasileiras Super-Gay (1982), de Watson Portela, Rocky e Hudson e outras histórias (2004), de Adão Iturrusgarai, Mariana e Claudinha
(2008-2012), de Fernando Duarte e Muriel (2009-2013), de Laerte Coutinho, se diferenciam dos padrões normativos de gênero e sexualidade. Abordando também estudos sobre o humor, procuramos demonstrar como os personagens dialogam com as identidades divergentes e seus estereótipos enquanto formas
de representação cultural e como a comicidade dessas obras pode servir para reforçar ou refutar o status quo.
Translation - English ABSTRACT
This work aims to discuss how representations of subjects who escape heteronormativity, in comics, bring up a constructed dominant discourse, lined in a "heterosexual matrix", often reproduced as natural. Inasmuch, we explore the insights provided by Queer studies to analyze how the protagonists, in the comic stories Super-Gay (1982), by Watson Portela, Rocky e Hudson e outras histórias (2004), by Adão Iturrusgarai, Mariana e Claudinha (2008-2012), by Fernando Duarte and Muriel (2009-2013), by Laerte Coutinho, differ themselves from the normative patterns of gender and sexuality. By also addressing studies on humor, we demonstrate how these characters dialogue with divergent identities and their stereotypes as forms of cultural representation, and how
these works' comicality can reinforce or refute the mainstream discourse.

Source text - English One Month Later, Water Crisis Continues to Punish Rio de Janeiro Peripheries
As political appointees rush to explain themselves, worries of privatization linger among community activists.
January 3, under a smashing summer sun, with temperatures exceeding 35°C (95°F), residents of the Baixada Fluminense, as well as the West and North Zones of Rio de Janeiro, began to notice problems with their tap water. Even pulled from Rio’s ubiquitous faucet filters, the water was murky and smelly; it tasted like earth. As worried residents rushed to supermarkets, the price of bottled water spiked. In a matter of days, the problem had extended to the whole city.
Translation - Portuguese Um Mês Depois, Crise da Água Continua a Punir a Periferia do Rio
Enquanto nomeados políticos correm para se explicar, preocupações com privatização persistem entre ativistas comunitários.
No dia 3 de janeiro sob um sol escaldante de verão, com temperaturas acima de 35°C, moradores da Baixada Fluminense, bem como das Zonas Oeste e Norte do Rio, começam a notar problemas na água da torneira. Mesmo quando tirada dos onipresentes filtros, a água vinha turva e cheirava mal; tinha gosto de terra. A medida em que moradores preocupados corriam para supermercados, o preço da água engarrafada disparava. Em questão de dias, o problema se estendeu por toda a cidade.
