O design editorial como ferramenta para a popularização do pensamento crítico

Abstract

Graphic Design must be engaged and committed to the real needs of society and should assume an active role in contributing to social, cultural, and political actions. In this context, this work aims to carry out an editorial project that presents, in an objective and engaging manner, analyses on love from an anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, and anti-imperialist perspective, as discussed by the American writer bell hooks. For this purpose, a methodological approach grounded in Editorial Design was employed, integrating storytelling techniques to build compelling narratives. The goal is to popularize the writer's analyses, facilitate understanding of social issues — often confined to academic circles — and stimulate critical thinking among the population. Therefore, a curation of bell hooks' work was conducted, resulting in a book that makes her reflections accessible to a diverse audience, reinforces her relevance to the Brazilian context, and provides readers with a captivating literary experience.
