Das páginas às telas : um estudo a transposição de Lisbela e o prisioneiro para a linguagem do cinema

Abstract

This research aimed to establish a comparative study between the theatrical work Lisbela e o Prisioneiro (1964), by the Pernambuco writer Osman Lins (1924-1978), and the adaptation of the same name, directed by Guel Arraes (1953-), in 2003. The approach to this study was qualitative and comparative analysis, in which the changes, similarities, and effects of meaning between the two narratives were observed. To this end, this research was based on Hutcheon (2011), Stam (2006), McKee (2006), Hattnher (2013), Xavier (2003), Bazin (1991), among others. With them, it became possible to establish discussions about the significant parallels that compose the relationship between literature and cinema. These theories contributed to the analysis of the research corpus, since they establish a basis for understanding how cinematic language can expand and recreate aspects of the literary plane. In this way, through aesthetic and stylistic resources, the adaptation enhances the regionalista and popular content of Osman Lins's play (1924); in addition, it expands the dramatic impact, the spaces, and materializes the dialogues and customs typical of the Brazilian Northeast.
