Portant sur six adaptations hollywoodiennes de récits de Rider Haggard, Kipling, Conrad et Greene, ce travail analyse la manière dont le cinéma américain retravaille divers aspects des supports littéraires à des fins esthétiques [attention aux détails exotiques, remaniements narratifs, jeu des acteurs, couleurs, décors] et idéologiques [réflexion sur l’impérialisme colonial]. En confrontant les films et les récits qui les précèdent, il s’agit d’examiner la manière dont le cinéma prend appui sur la littérature pour tisser un réseau où transparaît le regard que Hollywood porte sur la tentation impérialiste américaine. / The study focuses on six adaptations of narratives by Rider Haggard, Kipling, Conrad and Greene. It addresses the way Hollywood worked over several aspects of the literary works for aesthetic [attention to exotic details, reshaping of narratives, acting, colours, setting] as well as ideological purposes [a reflection on colonial imperialism]. Comparing the films with their literary antecedents, the study analyses the manner cinema is backed by literature to weave a network of signs which reveal Hollywood’s approach to American imperialist temptation.

This paper explores the relation between the popular “Tintin” comics by the Belgian artist Hergé and Steven Spielberg’s successful film adaptation “The Adventures of Tintin” (2011) from a linguistic perspective. It explores how language use in the scriptovisual medium of the comic (which combines still images and printed text) is rendered in the audiovisual medium of film (which combines moving images and spoken language). After discussing general linguistic similarities between comics and films and the use of language in each of the two media, the paper compares the representation of voice, accent, thoughts, talking animals, sounds and written language in Spielberg’s screen adaptation to the original printed comic books. It analyses to what extent the language from comic books can be directly transferred to the filmic medium and investigates possible causes underlying any modifications in the above-mentioned domains.
