Literatura e cinema: a convergência de sistemas semióticos em Ulisses entre o amor e a morte, de O. G. Rego de Carvalho

Abstract

The present work intends to identify and analyze the semiotic convergence, between Literature and Cinema, present in Ulisses entre o amor e a morte, by O. G. Rego de Carvalho. Published in 1953, the debut of the Piauí writer, the novel constitutes a break with the idea of a literature isolated in its own literary space. Even before suffering a filmic transposition, Ulisses entre o amor e a morte, considered a syncretic semiotic system, presents elements of a cinematographic narrative, like misancene, framing, plane, angle, sound, cut and assembly. About the literary production of O. G. Rego de Carvalho, guided the research Maria Figueiredo dos Reis (2008) and Pedro Pio Fontineles Filho (2016). As for the verbal creation and structural aspects of the narrative, Mikhail Bakhtin (2003) and Roland Barthes (2011). In order to deal with semiotics and intersemiotic translation, it was used Anna Maria Balogh (1996), Charles Sanders Peirce (2005), Júlio Plaza (2003) and Linda Hutcheon (2011). As for aspects related to film script, Flávio de Campos (2007) and Michel Chion (1989). In relation to the film history, film language and aesthetics of the film, André Bazin (2018), Christian Metz (1972), Ismail Xavier (1984), Jacques Aumont (2014), Robert Stam (1981), among others. In this way, the study, based on a bibliographical research, was organized in three chapters, which demonstrate the validation of the hypothesis: Ulisses entre o amor e a morte presents in its structure a film script in a state of latency.
