Kaos: da literatura para o cinema: a novela "O Outro Filho" de Luigi Pirandello na obra fílmica homônima dos irmãos Taviani

Abstract

It is about a Master’s dissertation inherent with the line of research “Studies of cultural translation and inter-semiotic”, which aims to verify the relationship between the seventh art and the literature from the adaptation of the film by the Taviani brothers, from the tale “The Other Son” by acclaimed writer and Italian dramaturge Luigi Pirandello. The research seeks to recognize, during the period of its investigative process, the strategies that ensure the transmutation of the Pirandellian literary text in the filmic text homonym of the Taviani brothers, in order to comprehend the way in which the novel “The Other Son” by the Sicilian writer permeates the work of the Tuscan filmmakers and how it is recreated in the film’s narrative of these artists. Thus, Pirandello’s discursive and creative apparatus was examined from theoretical texts such as novels, romances, poetry and dramaturgy, even including artwork like cinema and plays. The Taviani brothers’ cinematic production was analyzed in its various forms of expression to verify the dynamics of the adaptation of the literature for the cinema as the most important modifications arising from the passage of the literary text to film text.
