Resumo:
The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the intersemiotic construction of Holly
Golithly, the main character of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and of the novel,
throughout the film adaptation, analyzing how the places she goes to and the people
she meets influence her way of behaving and speaking; taking into consideration the
relationship between the imagetic and verbal contexts (word-image relationship).
This monograph is based on an interdisciplinary theoretical framework involving
Theory of Adaptation (HUTCHEON, 2013); Intersemiotic Translation (JAKOBSON,
1958, 2004; PLAZA, 2013); Subtitling (DÍAZ CINTAS, 2010; GEORGAKOPOULOU,
2009; LINDE; KAY, 2009); and Image Analysis (AUMONT, 2011) and Film Narrative
(GAUDREAULT; JOST, 2009). Methodologically speaking, a multimodal corpus
comprised of selected scenes from the film and a textual corpus formed by the
selected scenes and subtitles as well as the extracts from the novel is used. The
scenes, subtitles and excerpts analyzed have shown that Holly has suffered some
changes in the movie adaptation. Regarding her personality and the way she dresses
throughout the film, changes have also been marked. Moreover, results have shown
that the analysis carried out confirms how intersemiotic translation and subtitles help
the building and the interpreting of a character.
