Interseções entre literatura e cinema em Confissões de Ralfo

Abstract

This study is intended to focus on the common capability of literature and cinema in producing narratives, for in the dynamics of storytelling on these two arts there seems to be an interchange that creates renewed forms of narration strategies. In order to set forth this study, a perspective that takes narrative s material supports involved in these two arts will be utilized. Such an approach considers literature as a system that embodies the phenomenon of narration. Within this perspective, the literary system is interrelated to other systems, assuming new outlines. As from these points of view, it is possible to defend that since the 19th century literature has been surrounded by the context of the new oncoming medias which have reached, in modern age, remarkable importance. For that reason, the frontiers between literature and cinema have dissolved even more, resulting in renewed forms of textual tessitures of theirs narrations. Thus this study intends to draw an approximation between expressive means of literature and of cinema so as to investigate the reflexes of the intersection of these two medias in the novel Confissões de Ralfo: Uma autobiografia imaginária by the author Sérgio Sant Anna
