LUZ, CÂMERA, CALIBAN: POSSIBILIDADES INTERPRETATIVAS DA PERSONAGEM DE A TEMPESTADE A PARTIR DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE IMAGEM, PODER E IMAGINÁRIO SOCIOCULTURAL.

Abstract

The monograph here presented is within in the field of Translation Studies and comprehends, as its research objects, the play The Tempest (1611), written by the English playwright William Shakespeare, and the film adaptation The Tempest (2010), directed by the American director Julie Taymor. Understanding the inexistence of discursive and interpretative neutrality and pointing to language as an operational mechanism of power, the research seeks through the deconstructivist studies of translation, and under the light of cultural studies and contemporary critical theory to identify the influences of the relationship between image, power and sociocultural imaginary in the interpretative possibilities of Caliban, in the film adaptation The Tempest (Julie Taymor, 2010). For this, in a first moment we present a brief historical, political, social and biographical contextualization of the London theatre scene and the playwright William Shakespeare supported by Margort Berthold (2001), Anthony Burgess (1996), Bill Bryson (2007), Lisa Hilton (2016) and Jacques Le Goff (1996). Then we present the plot of the play, the sociopolitical context in which the play was set, main characteristics, summary of the work, and the analysis of the process of character construction through the contributions of Barbara Heliodora (2017), Harold Bloom (1996), David Howard (2002), Homi Bhabha (1998), Bertolt Brecht (1975), and Albert Memmi (1960). After that, we discuss the construction of the canon and the creation of new works from Shakespearean plays and the need for coexistence and dialogue between literature and cinema without hierarchization, led by texts of Pierre Bourdieu (2006), Harold Bloom (2001), Bárbara Heliodora (2001), Walter Benjamin (1935), Rosemary Arrojo (2007), Ferdinand de Saussure (1916), Geoffrey Benningnton (2015) Jacques Derrida (1967), Roland Barthes (1988) and Linda Hutcheon (2006). And finally, we discuss the process of adaptation as appropriation and recreation and analyze the relationship between power, image and sociocultural imaginary in the interpretative possibilities of Caliban in order to promote a dispute of narrative, guided by the reflections of Cida Bento (2002), Stuart Hall (2016), Giorgio Agamben (2009) Friedrich Nietzsche (1874), Michael Foucault (1999), Gilles Deleuze (1991), Achillie Mbembe, Patricia Hill Collins (1990), Chimamanda Adiche (2019), Audre Lorde (1980), Franz Fanon (1968). Key Words: The Tempest; Caliban; Power; Image; Intersemiotic Translation.
