Tradução intersemiótica: "A hora da estrela", novela de Clarice Lispector e filme de Suzana Amaral

Abstract

The paper analyzes the process of intersemiotic translation of the literary text into the film in “A hora da estrela”, respectively, by Clarice Lispector and Suzana Amaral, based on the premise that the two esthetic languages are distinct, even though they are similar as results semantic-narratives. Such measure allows the study of variables that enable communication processes between them – the literary text into the film. In methodological terms, the research privileges three translation matrices: iconic, indexical and symbolic, presented by Júlio Plaza referenced in the Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics. For the study in the field of literary work, the dialogue takes place with authors from the analytical field such as Antonio Candido [de Mello e Souza]; Walter [Benedix Schönflies] Benjamin; James Wood, among others. As for the film, the art of cinema is discussed with emphasis on “A hora da estrela” by Suzana Amaral, based on the theory of Jacques Aumont; José Carlos Avellar; David [Jay] Bordwell; Kristin Thompson; Gilles Deleuze and others. Each theoretical effort points out the singularities and specificities of the respective languages, culminating in results of possible intersemiotic crossing, pointed out in the crossing of the character Macabéa from the literary work to the cinema, which gives life to the homonymous character, played by actress Marcélia de Souza Cartaxo. After discussing the referenced data properly analyzed and compared, it appears that the process of intersemiotic translation of the written text into the audiovisual finds, as a previously stated assumption, that the two esthetic languages each one has its own esthetic value.
