Partindo da hipótese de que a linguagem cinematográfica não replica a linguagem literária, mesmo porque são artes diferentes, invalidando, assim, qualquer comparação entre as duas sob a perspectiva da hierarquização, discutiremos os códigos fílmicos que transformaram o conteúdo verbal do romance gótico num filme de terror. Baseadas em teóricos dos Estudos da Tradução como Roman Jakobson (1959) que adotou o termo tradução intersemiótica ou transmutação para a interpretação dos signos verbais por meio de sistemas de signos não-verbais, Gideon Toury (1995) que concentra sua pesquisa na obra traduzida para observar o processo que determina sua concretização e Rosemary Arrojo (2003) que desconstrói a idéia de estabilidade e autenticidade na tradução, examinamos a impossibilidade da fidelidade no deslocamento do livro para tela, à medida que identificamos a mescla de narrativas anteriores diluída em intertextos que se entrelaçam com a criatividade dos artistas envolvidos na adaptação. Ao apontar as narrativas que ecoam, influenciam e alimentam a obra de Jordan, atestamos que tais histórias partem de fontes múltiplas, heterogêneas, sem uma origem única, fato que comprova que até mesmo a obra de partida consiste numa colcha de retalhos. Teóricos como Gerárd Genette (2006) que trata da intertextualidade como a presença de um texto em outro, Tiphaine Samoyault (2008), que trata dos diálogos e mosaicos de citações que constroem textos nos rastros de outros textos e Robert Stam (1979) que estende a abordagem de Genette para o universo fílmico ao considerar a adaptação uma ramificação intertextual que não alude apenas ao romance no qual foi inspirado, mas possivelmente a outros que vieram antes dele, nos proporciona ferramentas valiosas para a efetuação da nossa análise. A ação de interpretar ou reescrever a história gótica nos leva a aludir o ato do tradutor/cineasta com o do vampiro,já que o tradutor “sangra” sobre sua obra ao mesmo tempo em que “bebe” de diferentes veias a fim de dar vida ao seu produto audiovisual e o vampiro além de drenar sua vítima, também a alimenta com seu sangue sobrenatural, tornando-a imortal. Para desenvolvermos a metáfora tradução/vampirização, o filósofo Jacques Derrida (2006) e a autora Cristina Rodrigues (2000) nos oferecem reflexões que elucidam a idéia da alternância de empréstimos ou sucessivas suplementações realizadas no universo vampiresco, contribuições que prolongam a eternidade das criaturas da noite a cada geração. Ao tempo em que descrevemos a trajetória da entidade vampiresca desde suas raízes folclóricas à sua ascensão a ícone pop, ressaltamos as revisitações ou atualizações que o bebedor de sangue sofreu, através dos meios de comunicação. Apoiadas em autores como J. Gordon Melton (2011) e Rosemary Guiley(2005), verificamos que a ficção vampiresca seja ela fílmica ou literária, está longe de obter seu descanso definitivo, ou ser indiferente a presença dos vestígios de sangue derramado por predecessores que marcaram o palimpsesto vampírico ao longo dos séculos. / Universidade Federal da Bahia.

<p>This paper will focus on the homosexuality and homoeroticism that can be found in Anne Rice’s novel <em>Interview With The Vampire</em> using Queer theory. The paper is divided into four parts in which different aspects of the novel will be discussed. Firstly the discussion focuses on the homoeroticism which is abundant in Rice’s novel. The second part covers the subject of identity and Louis’ quest to find out what and why he is. Next the issue of family within the vampyric world is examined using the family unit that Louis, Lestat and Claudia make as its basis. Lastly the question of why the ‘gender-free’ love which is present in <em>Interview With The Vampire</em> is important to the vampire genre is answered.</p>

The aim of this research is to demonstrate how the vampires presented by Rice are humanized. It begins with a historical study about vampires, both legendary and literary ones, then there is a study about the life and work of the American writer as well as a survey of the differences between the vampires from Rice and others described in the literature, including the icon of the genre: Dracula, by Bram Stoker. The analysis still continues with some theoretical notes on the fantastic genre, including concepts about Todorov, Ceserani, among others. There is also an analysis of the main characters: the vampire Louis who denies his vampiric nature; the vampire Lestat who also fights against human problems; Claudia, the vampire kid, who does not accept her condition as a woman stuck in a child s body; the vampire Armand, one of the oldest vampires in the world that looks for human peace. There is also an analysis of a human character, a supposed journalist, who listens to the story of mortal and immortal life of the vampire Louis. The analysis also covers the time and space in the narrative and its relationship with the fantastic genre, as well as some differences between the book written in 1976 and the film released in 1994, a big hit, reference for many other vampire movies. / Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar o romance Interview with the Vampire de Anne Rice que é o primeiro livro dos dez que constituem suas Crônicas Vampirescas .

A análise continua ainda com alguns apontamentos teóricos sobre o gênero fantástico, incluindo conceitos de Todorov, Ceserani, entre outros. Há também uma análise dos principais personagens: o vampiro Louis que renega sua natureza vampírica; o vampiro Lestat que também luta contra problemas humanos; Cláudia, a menina vampira, que não aceita sua condição de mulher presa a um corpo de criança; o vampiro Armand, um dos mais velhos vampiros do mundo que almeja a paz humana. Há ainda a análise de um personagem humano, um suposto jornalista, que ouve toda a história de vida mortal e imortal do vampiro Louis. A análise ainda abrange o tempo e espaço da narrativa e sua relação com o gênero fantástico, bem como algumas diferenças entre o livro escrito em 1976 e o filme, lançado em 1994, um sucesso de bilheteria, referência para muitos filmes sobre vampiros.

<p>The creatures known as vampires have inspired authors for several hundred years. These beings are stereotypically described as belonging to a “nocturnal species” who live “in shadows” and drink “our lives in secrecy” (Auerbach 1). However, they have by now appeared so often in literary works, and in so many different shapes and sizes, that they are much too nuanced to be called ‘stereotypes.’</p><p>This essay will make a historical comparison between two fictional vampires, one hundred years apart, in order to show that a change has taken place when it comes to how vampires as fictional characters have been portrayed in terms of their appearance, their psychology, and their roles in society. The first novel chosen is, for obvious reasons, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It was written at the turn of the nineteenth century by a male author and is probably the first novel that comes into mind when the word vampire is mentioned. The second novel, The Vampire Lestat, was written almost a century later, in 1986, by a female author, who, to readers of vampire fiction, is a worthy successor of Stoker. Her name is Anne Rice, best known for her debut novel Interview with the Vampire (1976).</p><p>The two novels are naturally chosen because of their similarities, but perhaps even more so because of their differences. Dracula is a typically Victorian Gothic novel, which is set in the remote mountains of Transylvania, and in the modern capital London, contemporary to when the novel was published. It is written in epistolary form but never allows for the main character, Count Dracula, to defend or explain himself and his actions in a first-person narrative.</p><p>The Vampire Lestat, on the other hand, is a Neo-Gothic novel that focus less on conventional Gothic elements, for example gloomy settings, and more on the psychological aspects of what it is like to actually be a vampire. Unlike Dracula, it is the main character’s fictional autobiography in which he recalls his life in France, his transformation into a vampire, and his current career in the United States as a famous rock star. Nina Auerbach calls it “a series of temporal regressions in which Lestat . . . embarks on a backward quest out of the knowable world” (172).</p><p>Both novels used in this analysis are thus part of the Gothic genre, one being a Victorian Gothic and the other Neo-Gothic, but there are significant differences between the two. I will investigate how these differences reveal themselves when it comes to setting and plot. However, the novels are similar in that they present two male vampires who belong to the nobility and have lived on through the centuries. The vampires both want to be where the power is, which means, in the case of Stoker’s Dracula, that he tries to conquer nineteenth-century London and seduce a young intelligent woman named Mina. Lestat, on the other hand, wants to become a famous twentieth-century rock star in the United States and simply have a good time while being a vampire (Auerbach 6).</p><p>The aim of this essay is to investigate what is typical of the genres that the two novels belong to and determine what has changed in the vampires’ physical appearance, their manners and their ability to adapt to modern society. In the first section of the essay I will give a description of the typical elements of the Gothic and the Neo-Gothic genres and then compare them in order to make a generic description of the two novels, Dracula and The Vampire Lestat. Vampire fiction will be treated as a sub-genre to the Gothic genre. In the succeeding two sections I will make comparative analyses of the two novels, particularly of the main characters, in order to describe the similarities and differences between the two and study how the vampire character has changed during the last century. Much of the discussion, especially regarding Dracula, will be based on Cesare Lombroso’s concept of the ‘criminal man,’ and various modern scholars’ opinion that the vampire is seen as an outcast and a threat to society.</p>

Ce mémoire réunit trois romans de la série Les Chroniques de vampires de la populaire écrivaine américaine Anne Rice (The Vampire Lestat, Memnoch the Devil et Blood Canticle) afin d'étudier l'évolution de sa critique de la religion à travers l'écriture. Une analyse précise et complète de Lestat de Lioncourt, le personnage principal de la série, est faite afin de mieux comprendre l'impact de la transformation spirituelle du protagoniste sur l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de Rice. Dans The Vampire Lestat, le rejet de toute forme de croyances religieuses de la part de Lestat ainsi que la déconstruction et l'érotisation de rituels religieux traditionnels reflètent l'influence de l'athéisme. Memnoch the Devil représente la transition entre le refus de croire de Lestat et son retour subséquent à la religion catholique. Finalement, Blood Canticle symbolise le retour vers la foi du protagoniste et de l'auteur, en plus de marquer la fin des Chroniques de vampires de Rice. L'analyse s'inspire d'éléments biographiques afin de démontrer l'importance de la religion dans les récits de Rice, sans toutefois considérer ses romans comme des autobiographies. / This thesis brings together three of Anne Rice's novels from The Vampire Chronicles series – The Vampire Lestat, Memnoch the Devil and Blood Canticle – in order to study the evolution of her critique of religion in her writing. A precise and complete examination of Lestat de Lioncourt, the series' main protagonist, allows the reader to better understand the impact of his spiritual transformation on Rice's literary career as a whole. In The Vampire Lestat, Lestat's rejection of religious beliefs as well as the deconstruction and eroticization of traditional religious rituals hint at the influence of atheism. Memnoch the Devil represents the transition between Lestat's refusal to believe in religion and his subsequent return to the Catholic faith. Finally, Blood Canticle symbolizes both the protagonist's and the writer's return to the faith, in addition to the conclusion of Rice's Vampire Chronicles. The analysis uses elements from Rice's biography to indicate religion's importance in her works without considering these novels as autobiographies.
