Literatura nas redes da Pós-modernidade: a adaptação de Dois irmãos, de Milton Hatoum, em quadrinhos

Abstract

The adaptations are related to the technological revolutions that marked the cultural expressions of the contemporary world. In this context, of the so-called postmodern art, of multiple voices and signs, the practice of adaptation intensified, becoming recurrent. Thus we can observe intertextuality in adaptation: the text is based on other texts to be created, existing completely through an intertextual relation with the former. Thus, an analysis of this adaptation would take into account the relations of intertextuality that adaptation has with the adapted work, and how the comic adaptation recreates these relations through its own language, in this case, the language of comics. In this sense, this research started with the following question: if the adaptation is a process whose product is an autonomous work and loaded with new meanings, how is literature reinterpreted and recreated in the adaptation to comics in the context of postmodern art? Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the adaptation of the novel Dois Irmãos by Milton Hatoum as a formal product and as a process of reinterpretation and re-creation of a literary work in the context of postmodern art. Finally, this research provided reflections on the adaptation of a literary work and its place in the problematic of contemporary art, starting from the analysis of the intertextual dialogical relations that are established between the literary and the comics in the process of adaptation.
