No. of bitstreams: 1 RODRIGO BRAZ MUNIZ.pdf: 753040 bytes, checksum: 39195334e84ad3eb89c404f72d93615e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-06-07 / Trainspotting is an irreverent and uncompromising work, written by Irvine Welsh, which shows the B-side of the Scottish Society of Edinburgh. The work portrays the lives of five addicted to heroin. However, the purpose of this summary is to show how a book with so many features not to be a bestseller, because he address issues such as violence, drugs, death, deconstruction, madness and identity, became controversial within the global literary criticism. The work runs through several arguments, which one of the most highlighted by the characters would be the meaning of life within capitalist ruling system, which does not gives them no benefit of their own self-construction of identity, starting with the political situation in Scotland where, in time of the work's publication, continued to submit the impositions of the British government. This discomfort perpetuates throughout work as questioning identity and philosophy. However, despite all des-realizations, deconstructions and constructs, which offers Welsh us, there is the problem of translating the book into the movie screen. While reading the book, and then, watching his film adaptation, we realized that was held by director Danny Boyle a respectable dialogue between different semiotic, which led to an adjustment to the level of the work. We also analyze the book through the reception theory spectrum and seek to reflect on issues relating to anxiety, absurdity, the apocalypse theory and alienation inserted in history as well. / Trainspotting é uma obra irreverente e descompromissada, de autoria de Irvine Welsh, o qual mostra o lado B da sociedade escocesa de Edimburgo. A obra retrata a vida de cinco viciados em Heroína. Contudo, o objetivo desse resumo é mostrar como um livro com tantas características para não ser um best-seller, por causa de ele abordar assuntos como violência, drogas, morte, desconstrução, loucura e identidade, se tornou polêmico dentro da crítica literária mundial. A obra perpassa por diversas discursões, os quais um dos mais salientados pelos os personagens seria o sentido da vida dentro de sistema dominante capitalista, o qual não lhes fornece nenhum subsídio para a construção de sua própria identidade, começando pelo a situação política da Escócia, onde, na época da publicação da obra, continuava a se submeter as imposições do governo britânico. Esse desconforto perpetua por toda obra, como questionamento de identidade e de filosofia. Todavia, apesar de todas as desrealizações, desconstruções e construções, a qual Welsh nos oferece. Durante a leitura do livro, e posteriormente, assistindo a sua adaptação para o cinema, percebemos que foi realizada pelo diretor Danny Boyle uma respeitável interlocução entre semióticas diferentes, o que acarretou uma adequação ao nível da obra. Analisamos, também, o livro por meio do espectro da teoria da recepção e também buscamos refletir sobre questões relacionadas a angustia, o absurdo, a teoria do apocalipse e alienação inseridas na história.

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka huruvida ljud och musik påverkar det narrativa berättandet i film. Som utgångspunkt har jag valt att göra en adaptionsanalys av Trainspotting (Welsh, 1993) samt (Boyle, 1996) för att på så sätt kunna se skillnader och likheter i förekomsten av ljud och musik i både film och bok. Studien visade att både ljud och musik har spelat en betydande roll för upplevelsen av filmen. Genom att använda sig av ljud och musik på ett sätt som skiljer sig från boken har filmen lyckats att porträttera och skildra den historia som boken berättar i ett helt annat medium.

While Skagboys portrays the descent into heroin addiction of young, working class Scots during the Thatcher era, shifting the analysis from a strictly human perspective to one focusing on the agency of objects opens up the novel to new readings wherein morality emerges through nonhuman actors. Welsh’s work has traditionally been hailed as Scottish working-class realism that portrays its characters unideologically, to the point that the novels, through the characters, appear without morality. Drawing upon Latour’s notion of Actor-Network Theory, ANT, reveals a Thatcherite materiality permeating the story, prescribing the moral behaviour which the characters of Skagboys repeatedly clash with as their heroin addiction and junk desperation grows. The impacts of the security camera, the smoke detector and the collection tin provide the basis for the analysis. This highlights two types of marginalization for the characters. Firstly, in the characters’ hopeless prospects with regards to employment due to Thatcher’s neoliberal politics, and secondly as objects of detection and control exerting agency in the world which the characters navigate. These objects presuppose and foil crime, effectively becoming extensions of Thatcherite morality, keeping the criminal and unemployed in check.
