Dom: redução adição e deslocamento, processos de uma adaptação audiovisual

Abstract

Cinema emerged in the 19th century and sought inspiration in literature, because although they are different arts they have similarities, which made literary works leave the pages of books and go to the cinema screens. This migration process is called audiovisual adaptation. However, when adapting renowned works of literature to another language, a comparison between the audiovisual adaptation and its source text is inevitable. This work started after questioning the points of convergence and divergence between the plot and characters in the work “Dom” (2003) by Moacyr Góes, inspired by the book “Dom Casmurro” (1900) by Machado de Assis, one of the most renowned authors in literature Brazilian. The main objective is to analyze how the process of audiovisual adaptation occurred between the works cited. To this end, we used the analysis procedures proposed by Brito (2006) whose main mechanism proposes observation in relation to characters and plot, with actions that observe the procedures of reduction, addition, displacement and transformation. This reading helps to signal that the adapted work brought a new guise and characteristics of the year 2003, as a reason for suspicions of adultery, and the acceptance of the son on the part of Bento and the presence of smartphones and even DNA testing. The research method used in this work started from bibliographic research, reading and comparative analysis between the works. Based on the readings of theorists such as Brito (2006), Hutcheon (2013)
