| description | This paper analyzes, from a comparative perspective, “O Sobrado,” a chapter from the novel O Continente (1949), by Erico Verissimo, and its film adaptation, O Sobrado (1956), directed by Walter George Durst and Cassiano Gabus Mendes. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on tools from the domains of literature and cinema, one of the goals of this paper is to propose film adaptation analyses which go beyond the debate on the fidelity of the film based on terms exclusively focused on the plot of the literary work, thus exploring other elements, such as mise-en-scene, photography, editing and sound. By addressing the context of production of the film, as a late product of Cia. Cinematográfica Vera Cruz, one of the main arguments of this study is that the novel and film protagonist, Licurgo Cambará, undergoes a process of “emptying” which implies deep changes in elements related to the narrative and visual style of the film in relation to the literary work. However, instead of adaptation flaws, the paper argues that such changes are in tune with the total organization of the film and with its artistic and production context, thus generating a different relationship with the representation of the past, which is consciously constructed in the film. |

O presente artigo analisa, de forma comparada, “O Sobrado”, capítulo do romance O Continente (1949), de Erico Verissimo, e sua adaptação cinematográfica, O Sobrado (1956), dirigida por Walter George Durst e Cassiano Gabus Mendes. Com base em uma abordagem interdisciplinar, com ferramentas dos domínios da literatura e do cinema, um dos objetivos do trabalho é propor uma análise da adaptação cinematográfica que supere a discussão da fidelidade do filme em termos exclusivamente centrados no enredo do original, explorando outros elementos, tais como a mise-en-scene, a fotografia, a edição e o som. Ao inserir o filme em seu contexto de produção, como fruto tardio da Cia. Cinematográfica Vera Cruz, um dos principais argumentos deste trabalho é que o protagonista das obras, Licurgo Cambará, passa por um processo de esvaziamento que pressupõe mudanças profundas nos elementos narrativos e no estilo visual do filme em relação ao livro. Entretanto, em vez de representarem falhas da adaptação, defende-se que tais alterações estão em sintonia com a organização total do filme e com seu contexto artístico e de produção, gerando uma relação diferente com a representação da história, conscientemente construída no filme. 2012-12-18 2022-03-18T16:08:22Z 2022-03-18T16:08:22Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/5579 10.21709/casa.v10i2.5579 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/60301 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/casa/article/view/5579/4382 Copyright (c) 2012 CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada application/pdf Laboratório Editorial FCL-UNESP CASA: Cadernos de Semiótica Aplicada; v. 10 n. 2 (2012) 1679-3404 10.21709/casa.v10i2 |
