O trânsito de masculinidades entre a peça e o filme (O) Auto da Compadecida.

Abstract

This paper makes a comparative study of the Auto da Compadecida (1957) of Ariano Suassuna and the film O Auto da Compadecida, directed by Guel Arraes (2000). The aim of this study is to highlight the similarities and present differences in the two works, based on the representation of northeastern manhood between the characters considering they are different texts, different contexts and different arts. Therefore, we resumed studies: Literary Genres, Theory on Masculinity, comparative Literature and Theory of Adaptation. The analysis points to the adjustments to be multilaminate works while unattended to, emphasizing that should be analyzed by the peculiar characteristics of each one and not in function of the other. We note that adjustments, although inherent, can only be theorized from duplicity, view our theme is about the comparative literature.
