Uma análise da personagem Holly Golithly pela tradução intersemiótica e legendas: do Romance Breakfast at Tiffany’s ao Filme Bonequinha de Luxo.

Abstract

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.
