The evolution of Sherlock Holmes : adapting character across time and text

Polasek, Ashley D. January 2014 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce, justify, and apply a better framework for analysing Sherlock Holmes, one of the most adapted characters of all time. The project works to resituate the focus of those involved in studying adaptations of Sherlock Holmes from an examination of the discrete transition of a text from page to screen, to the evolution of the character as it changes across various intertexts and through time. The purpose is to show that it is the character specifically, and not the literary text with its narrative, genric, and aesthetic qualifications, that is being adapted, and that with this in mind, studying adaptations of Sherlock Holmes should involve a study of the various processes, pressures, and mechanisms that shape, change, and define the character throughout its hundreds of screen afterlives. This thesis then analyses many of these processes with the aim of contributing to our understanding of how a character like Holmes is moulded through remediation. It takes into account how the character’s indices shift and accumulate as they are variously performed. It also considers how the mechanisms of selection function to privilege certain incarnations of the character, and how that privileging becomes a part of future readings. Finally, it addresses how reception and perception by audiences influence how the character is read, and thus how it is understood. By considering all of these aspects of the evolutionary process, and by avoiding a chronological or even a linear organization of the texts under scrutiny, this work seeks to offer a more complete answer to the question of how a single source can support a multitude of varied, even contradictory adaptations and remain relevant and interesting through the years.

Bentinho é Capitu: a autotraição do narrador de Dom Casmurro / Bentinho is Capitu: the self-betrayal of Dom Casmurro narrator

Anny Ribeiro Souza 09 March 2015 (has links)
Bentinho não é um personagem completamente inocente em suas memórias autobiográficas. Apesar de se colocar na posição de vítima, algumas atitudes suas dentro do romance Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, são capazes de acusar o narrador de primeira pessoa de outras coisas além da imagem que pretende fazer de marido traído. Desta forma, este trabalho vai investigar como o personagem, através de sua versão casmurra, sai da posição de acusador para a de réu. Veremos como o personagem, que tem o poder da narrativa nas mãos, ironicamente trai a si mesmo, deixando-se mostrar, mesmo que sem claramente perceber, suas características acusatórias. Assim, encontraremos nele não só um personagem ciumento com toques de loucura, mas também uma pessoa tão dissimulada e manipuladora quanto Capitu, sua namorada e depois esposa a quem julga e condena ao longo do romance. Ser como ela leva Bento ao mesmo destino da moça: a solidão e o exílio que, no caso dele, acontece, em sua própria terra natal. Há ainda um segundo corpus sobre o qual esta análise se debruça: a microssérie Capitu (2008), exibida pela TV Globo em comemoração ao centenário de morte de Machado de Assis. Mostraremos como o trabalho audiovisual dirigido por Luiz Fernando Carvalho levou para a televisão as orientações de Machado de Assis, mantendo o mistério do Bruxo do Cosme Velho. Além disso, a microssérie também traduz em imagens a ideia de que Bentinho é um reflexo, um desdobramento de Capitu. / Bentinho is not a completely innocent character in his autobiographical memories. Despite posicioning himself as victim, some attitudes of him inside the novel Dom Casmurro, written by Machado de Assis, are able to accuse the first-person narrator of other things besides the image of betrayed husband that he wants to show. Thus, this study will investigate how the character, through his cranky old version leaves the accuser position for the defendant. We will see how the character, who has the power of the narrative in his hands, ironically betrays himself, showing, even without clearly see, his accusatory characteristics. Thus, we will find in him, not only a jealous character with some madness, but also a person who is as disingenuous and manipulative as Capitu, his girlfriend, an then, the wife who is judged and sentenced throughout the novel. Being like her, gives Bento the same destination of the girl: loneiness and exile that, in his case, happens in his own homeland. There is a second corpus on which this analysis focuses: the miniseries Capitu (2008), displayed by TV Globo in celebration of the centenary of the death of Machado de Assis. We will show how this audiovisual work directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho presented on television the Machado de Assis guidelines, keeping the mystery of the Bruxo do Cosme Velho. In addition, the miniseries also translates into images the idea that Bentinho is a reflection, a breakdown of Capitu.

A arte de transformar palavras em imagens: um estudo sobre a adaptação do romance A Muralha para televisão / The art of turning words into pictures: a study on the adaptation of the novel A Muralha for television

FERREIRA, Murilo Luiz 19 April 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-29T15:22:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao parte 1 Murilo Luiz Ferreira.pdf: 7820233 bytes, checksum: c6c5eeaea4a922931faefa4be4ed460c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-04-19 / To tell stories is part of the essence of human beings. Since our earliest ancestors we have been involved by several narratives - oral, written or broadcasted. With the changes raised by the Gutenberg Galaxy, narratives gained more visibility in the art of storytelling, especially in literature. Since the 1950's that television is replacing printed texts, using audio and image together to further engage human beings in the real and fictional narratives. And this thesis is based on the search of elements of approximation and divergence between literature and television, having as object of study the novel written by Dinah Silveira de Queiroz, A Muralha, originally published in 1954, and the homonymous adaptation as a television series produced by TV Globo in 2000. The methodology includes the analysis of the relationships between literary and television studies by the perspective of cultural studies and cultural media, focusing particularly on the features of each of these media,looking for theoretical backgrounds that support the hypothesis of this research. As narrative is the main concern of this thesis, theories and analysis of focalization, space, time and characters became extremely important, as well the reflections about the three perspectives of adaptation and the four adaptive processes, which are: addition, reduction, displacement and transformation. This study lead us to conclude that as much as literature and television give evidences to prove the uniqueness of each of these artistic expressions, they contain similar and important elements that support the art of turning words into images. / Contar história é parte da essência do homem. Desde os nossos ancestrais mais remotos, estamos envolvidos com diversas narrativas orais, escritas, audiovisuais. Com as transformações surgidas com a Galáxia de Gutenberg, as narrativas escritas ganharam grande destaque na arte de narrar, principalmente com a literatura. A partir da década de 1950, a televisão passa a ocupar o lugar dos textos impressos, utilizando da junção do áudio com a imagem para envolver ainda mais o homem nas narrativas reais e ficcionais. E é na busca pelos elementos de aproximação e divergência entre literatura e televisão que este trabalho se baseia, tendo como objeto de estudo o romance de Dinah Silveira de Queiroz, A Muralha, publicado inicialmente no ano de 1954, e a adaptação homônima feita pela Rede Globo em formato de minissérie, no ano 2000. Os caminhos percorridos são as relações entre os estudos literários e televisivos com os estudos culturais e a cultura da mídia, passando pelos entremeios de cada uma dessas mídias, na busca por embasamento teórico-metodológico que corroborassem as hipóteses levantadas. Como a narrativa é o principal foco deste trabalho, as teorias e análises sobre focalização, espaço, tempo e personagens foram de extrema importância, assim como as reflexões sobre as três perspectivas de uma adaptação e os quatro processos adaptativos adição, redução, deslocamento, transformação. Esses caminhos nos levaram a concluir que, por mais que literatura e televisão apresentem elementos que comprovem a singularidade de cada uma dessas expressões artísticas, elas contêm elementos semelhantes e importantes que auxiliam no desenvolvimento da arte de transformar palavras em imagens.
