Orientador: Marcelo Magalhães Bulhões / Banca: Arlindo Rebechi Junior / Banca: Sheila Schvarzman / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como foco a discussão do problema da adaptação do texto literário para o meio audiovisual, tendo como ponto de partida o estudo de duas obras cinematográficas: Lúcio Flávio, o Passageiro da Agonia e Pixote, a Lei do Mais fraco, ambos dirigidos por Hector Babenco. Os dois filmes são frutos de adaptações dos romances-reportagem Lúcio Flávio e Infância dos Mortos de José Louzeiro. Assim, interessa-nos também investigar e identificar as marcas dos elementos jornalísticos que caracterizam a obra literária de Louzeiro, e localizá-los no cinema de Babenco; interessa fundamentalmente esse trânsito entre reportagem e literatura, que daria origem aos romances-reportagem de Louzeiro, e entre a literatura e o cinema de Babenco. Cabe aqui compreender os diversos aspectos que caracterizam o processo de adaptação literária para o audiovisual, através das obras citadas / Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the discussion of the problem of the adaptation of the literacy text to the audiovisual medium, taking as its starting point the study of two films: Lúcio Flávio, Passenger of Agony and Pixote, the Law of the Weakest, both directed by Hector Barbenco. Two films are the result of adaptation of novels-report Lúcio Flávio and Childhood of the Dead by José Louzeiro. Thus, we are interested in also investigate and identify the brands of journalistic elements that characterized the literacy work Louzeiro, and locate them in Babenco movies; interest fundamentally transit between this report and literature that would give rise to novels, reportage Louzeiro, and between literature and cinema Babenco. Is should understand the various aspects that characterize the process of literacy adaptation for audiovisual, through the works cited / Mestre

Orientador: Marcelo Magalhães Bulhões / Banca: Claudio Rodrigues Coração / Banca: Laan Mendes de Barros / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como foco a adaptação do texto literário para o audiovisual, tendo como objeto o livro Lili Carabina: Retrato de uma Obsessão, lançado em 1988 por Aguinaldo Silva. No mesmo ano, o texto foi adaptado no filme Lili, A Estrela do Crime sob direção de Lui Farias. Analisaremos esta união entre jornalismo e literatura que deu origem ao romance-reportagem e o rico trânsito entre literatura e cinema. Nosso objetivo é compreender este processo que caracteriza a adaptação de uma obra literária para o audiovisual / Abstract: This dissertation focuses on the problem of the adaptation of the literacy text to audiovisual media, based on the book Lili Carabina: An obsession Portrayal, wrote by Aguinaldo Silva in 1988. Ar the same year, the novel-report was adapted to the movie Lili, Notorious Criminal, directed by Lui Farias. We are interested about the union between literature and the cinema, and the elements of adaptation. This analysis try to understand the aspects that characterize the process of literacy adaptation for audiovisual / Mestre

This thesis deploys Homi Bhabha's perspective of postcolonial literary theory as a critical procedure to examine particular instances of fiction, as well as reportage on Botswana. Its unifying interest is to pinpoint the shifting nature or reality of Botswana and, by extension, of African identities. To that end, I use Bhabha's concept of liminality to inform the work of writers such as Unity Dow, Alexander McCall Smith, and instances of reportage (by Rupert Isaacson and Caitlin Davies), from the 1990s to date. The aims of the thesis are, among other things, to establish the extent to which Homi Bhabha's appropriation of the term liminality (which derives from Victor Turner's notion of limen for inbetweenness), and its application in the postcolonial context inflects the reading of the above works whose main motifs include the following: a contestation of any views which privilege one culture above another, challenging a jingoistic rootedness in one culture, and promoting an awareness of the existence of several, interlocking or even clashing realities which finally produce multiple meanings, values and identities. In short, it is proposed that identity is not a given but rather a product of a lived reality and therefore a social construct, something always in process. The thesis begins by theorizing liminality in Chapter 1 within the context of Homi Bhabha's understanding and interrogation of the colonial discourse. This is followed by the contextualization of liminality through the reading of, firstly, the fiction of Unity Dow in Chapters 2 and 3, and then the "detective" fiction of Alexander McCall Smith in Chapters 4 and 5. In the discussion of these works, I also touch on instances of reportage which relate to the lives of the authors. In the case of Smith's "detective" fiction, for example, reportage refers to his incorporation of actual historical events and personages whose impact, I argue, suggests the liminality of culture. In Chapter 6, the idea of reportage varies slightly to denote works of fiction in which there is a great deal of historical fact. Thus Rupert Isaacson's The Healing Land: A Kalahari Journey and Caitlin Davies' Place of Reeds are treated as works of reportage in line with Truman Capote's application of that term. What comes out most evidently in this study is the shifting idea of (Botswana/African) identity. It should be noted that rather than present an all-embracing account of the fiction on Botswana, the study only looks at the selected examples of writing and reportage. / University of South Africa National Research Foundation / English Studies / D.

This work of creative nonfiction is meant to explore the effects of combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder in American war veterans and their families. As a work of blended literary journalism and memoir, the author interviewed afflicted veterans from World War II to the current Iraq and Afghanistan wars, included scholarly research, and reflected on how her father's dealings with the disorder have affected her family. / by Hillary Boles. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Hierdie studie ondersoek vrae rondom die aard van literêre niefiksie - ook die vierde genre genoem. Die bestaande drieledige genreklassifikasiesisteem maak nie voldoende voorsiening vir tekste waarin die grense tussen feit en fiksie opgehef word nie. Die toename van sodanige hibriede tekste noodsaak dus ‘n uitbreiding van tradisionele genrekategorieë tot ‘n vierde, naamlik dié van literêre niefiksie. Dié ondersoek poog om vrae rondom literêre niefiksie te beantwoord met verwysing na De plaag: het stille knagen van schrijvers, termieten en Zuid-Afrika (2001) van David van Reybrouck. Dié teks dokumenteer Van Reybrouck se ondersoek na die bewering dat Maurice Maeterlinck die termietnavorsing van Eugène Marais sonder erkenning oorgeneem het. Tydens sy navorsingsreis maak Van Reybrouck kennis met die verwikkeldhede van ‘n postapartheid Suid-Afrika en verwoord sy reiservaring met behulp van metafore uit die entomologie. Die resultaat is dat De plaag ‘n hibriede karakter vertoon wat versoenbaar is met die kriteria vir literêr-niefiksionele tekste. / This study attempts to explore the nature of literary nonfiction (the fourth genre). The existing tripartite classification system does not make adequate provision for texts where the borders between nonfiction and fiction are transcended. A marked increase in such texts therefore necessitates an expansion of the traditional genre categories to accommodate a fourth, namely that of literary nonfiction. De plaag: het stille knagen van schrijvers, termieten en Zuid-Afrika (2001) by David van Reybrouck will serve as point of departure to explore the genre of literary nonfiction. The said text documents Van Reybrouck’s investigation into the alleged plagiarism by Maeterlinck of Marais’ research on termites. Van Reybrouck’s travels expose him to the complexities of a post-apartheid South Africa, which he expresses by using metaphors derived from the field of entomology. The result of this process is that De plaag displays a hybrid character which complies with the criteria for literary nonfiction. / Afrikaans and Theory of Literature / M.A. (Afrikaans)
