The content presented here refers to a study conducted preliminary on the panel "Contested - Earth Contested" the Hassis Artist, based on discursive semiotics. In this large painting, the artist presents a visual narrative of Sertaneja Contested War (1914-1916) whose images enable an invitation for reflection, not only as "visual report" of history, but as calling for the construction of a sense for visual text, to organize the look and direct you to another way of seeing and feeling the episode portrayed in it.
