Sendo assim, retornamos à origem do gênero policial, buscando suas raízes, até que este se desenvolva na forma do romance que conhecemos nos dias atuais. Todas as modificações ocorridas na estrutura da narrativa policial podem ser entendidas como um reflexo das próprias mudanças sociais e culturais que ocorriam neste importante período de transição histórica, visto que a estrutura da narrativa era modificada de acordo com as exigências do público leitor, que buscava sempre ser representada em tal narrativa. O simples fato de a estrutura da narrativa policial poder ser alterada sem perder seus elementos característicos, explica como este gênero não apenas foi capaz de se manter popular até os dias atuais, como também deixam claro como foi possível o surgimento de uma grande quantidade de subgêneros, que acabam por se enquadrar dentro do grande termo ficção criminal. Para realizar tal estudo, foram selecionadas três obras de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, criador do famoso detetive Sherlock Holmes e três obras de Agatha Christie, sendo que estas tem como protagonista seu mais famoso personagem, o detetive belga Hercule Poirot. As obras selecionadas demonstram justamente a adaptação não apenas da estrutura da trama, mas também do personagem principal, o detetive, às mais diversas situações a que é apresentado. O papel do narrador também se mostra fundamental neste estudo, justamente por ser sua figura que guia os leitores pela narrativa, e que se compromete a conceder todas as... / This dissertation aims to analyse the detective story between the end of the nineteenth-century and the beginning of the twentieth-century, in its historicity, taking into consideration the importance of the concepts of representation and verisimilitude for the novel genre, besides evidently take into consideration the specific elements of the detective story, like the notions of riddle and detection, that make the base of the crime fiction. Thus, we return to the origin of the detective story, searching for its roots until that it develops into the form of the detective story we know today. All the modification that happened in the structure of the detective story can be understand as a reflex of the social and cultural modifications that happened in this important time of historical transition, seeing that the structure of the narrative was modified according to the demands of the reading public, that aimed to always be represented in such narratives. The mere fact that the structure of the detective novel can be altered without losing its most characteristic elements explain how this genre was not only able to keep its popularity until today, as it also makes it clear how it was possible for a big quantity of subgenres to rise and be framed into the umbrella term 'crime fiction'. To fulfill such study, three works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, were selected, such as three works from Agatha Christie, which are protagonised by her most famous character, the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The selected works show precisely the adaptation not only of the structure of the plot, but also the adaptation of the main character, the detective, to the most diverse situations that he is presented to. The role of the narrator also proves itself to be crucial in this study, justly because it is its figure that guides the readers through the narrative and that...

This thesis focuses on the various adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyles novel The Hound of the Baskerville and accentuate the episode The Hounds of Baskervilles from the BBC TV series Sherlock. Thus, this thesis is decribing the theme, which was not fully covered in Czech literature. The author used different sources, books, internet pages and cinematographic pieces. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part the author is focusing on the theory of adaptation, Doyle's life and art, The Hound of the Baskervilles book and the TV series Sherlock. In the practical part the author narrates about the episode The Hounds of the Baskervilles and searching for definition of the adaptation process, which the makers of this episode used. This part also answers the question, why is this episode so popular and key for the whole series. The crucial final part of the thesis summarizes the main principles, which authors and film makers can use during the process of the adaptation. Keywords Adaptation, television series, Arthur Conan Doyle, BBC, Sherlock, The Hound of the Baskervilles Title/název práce Adaptations of the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles: The triumph of the television series's sociopath

<p>En écrivant La Trilogie de Barrytown l’auteur, Roddy Doyle, a choisi d’utiliser le parler des gens de Dublin, en Irlande. Par conséquent les histoires sont pleines de caractéristiques du vernaculaire comme, par exemple, des expressions familières, de l’argot et des termes culturels. Nous faisons un examen du langage de Doyle et les défis spécifiques qu’il pose pour les traducteurs afin d’analyser leurs méthodes. Nous faisons appel à la capacité du traducteur à interpréter le sens de l’original et à sa créativité pour le rendre dans la langue cible. Nous étudions l’aspect lanagier et l’aspect culturel des traductions. Une interview avec l’un des traducteurs, Bernard Cohen, nous donne plus d’information sur le processus de traduction et le rôle que les traducteurs jouent dans le monde de la traductologie (l’étude de la traduction) aujourd’hui.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

Ce travail interroge les relations entre langue écrite et langue orale et les effets de la représentation de l’oralité et du dialecte dans l’écriture littéraire. Plus spécifiquement, il établit un cadre théorique d’analyse stylistique permettant de faire émerger la poétique du parler populaire dans l’œuvre de Barrytown de Roddy Doyle. Cette étude s’articule autour de trois chapitres. Les deux premiers sont à visée théorique, et ont pour objectif de mettre en place les outils stylistiques, linguistiques et littéraires à partir desquels l’étude du corpus est abordée. Ainsi, après un retour diachronique et synchronique sur les rapports qu’entretiennent les deux media de communication orale et écrite, nous établissons un cadre d’analyse stylistique de la représentation de l’oralité et du dialecte dans la littérature. Nous étudions ensuite cette problématique plus spécifiquement dans le contexte irlandais, puisque la littérature et la culture irlandaises sont marquées par un la tradition orale. Cela nous conduit à une description détaillée du dialecte anglais-irlandais sous l’angle de la grammaire, du lexique et de l’accent. Nous abordons enfin les effets de la représentation de l’oralité et de l’irlandité dans l’œuvre barrytownienne de Roddy Doyle et faisons émerger la poétique du parler populaire qui l’anime. / This study focuses on the relations between spoken and written language and on the effects created by the representation of orality and dialect in literary writing. More specifically, it proposes a theoretical framework of stylistic analysis which allows for the study of the poetics of popular language in Roddy Doyle’s Barrytown novels. This study is divided into three chapters. The first two chapters aim to define the stylistic, linguistic and literary tools that are used in the third chapter in order to carry out the corpus analysis. This study starts with a diachronic and a synchronic overview of the relationship between the oral and written media of communication. A workable framework for the stylistic analysis of the representation of orality and dialect in literature is then established. The second chapter considers this issue in an Irish context. Indeed, a strong oral tradition has always been present in Ireland and its impact is still felt in literature and culture. The linguistic situation in Ireland is studied from the point of view of grammar, lexicon and accent. Finally, the third chapter applies the framework previously presented and explores the effects created by the representation of orality and Irishness in Roddy Doyle’s Barrytown novels. It finally exposes the poetics of popular language.

Abstract The great detective Sherlock Holmes casts a long shadow on the previous research on the short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, where Mr. Holmes has been given the main attention. On the periphery, however, a woman named Irene Adler is recognizable. Adler makes her single entrance in the Sherlock Universe in “A Scandal in Bohemia” from 1891 when she outsmarts Mr. Holmes and makes him reconsider the entire female sex as a consequence. In the BBC adaptation Sherlock, the case is however different for the early feminist icon Adler. The portrayal of Adler in the episode “A Scandal in Belgravia” from 2012 is mainly focusing on her sexuality, nudity and seductive personality when meeting Holmes, which has resulted in this essay that aims to study the transformation of Adler from text to screen from a gender perspective. By conducting a comparative study based on gender theory and adaptation theory, the essay finds that there has been a sexualisation and diminishing of independence on behalf of Adler, which relates to common stereotypes in the portrayal of women in film. Through a successive degradation of the female character, it is possible to detect a form of reversed emancipation where the hundred year older predecessor shows greater feminist characteristics than the modern adaptation. / Sammanfattning Mästerdetektiven Sherlock Holmes kastar en lång skugga efter sig och har stått i centrum för majoriteten av forskningen om Sir Arthur Conan Doyles noveller. I periferin återfinns emellertid en kvinna vid namn Irene Adler som i ”A Scandal in Bohemia” från 1891 överlistar Holmes och får honom att omdefiniera hela sin syn på det kvinnliga könet på grund av Adlers intelligens och agens. I BBC:s filmatisering av den berömde detektiven i serien Sherlock har dock stora förändringar skett i transformationen av den feministiska förgrundsgestalten Adler. Porträtteringen av Adler i avsnittet ”A Scandal in Belgravia” från 2012 fokuserar till stor del på hennes sexualitet, avkläddhet och förföriska person i mötet med Holmes, vilket också föranlett denna uppsats vars syfte är att studera porträtteringen av Adler från text till filmduk ur ett genusperspektiv. Genom en komparativ metod grundad i genusteori och adaptionsteori finner uppsatsen att det skett en sexualisering och ett osjälvständiggörande av Adler som överensstämmer väl med många av de vanligt förekommande stereotypiska porträtteringarna av kvinnor på filmduken. Genom en successiv nedbrytning av den kvinnliga karaktären kan ett slags omvänd emancipation skönjas, där den hundra år äldre förlagan visar starkare feministiska förtecken än den moderna adaptionen.

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.
