Resumo
A tese objetiva discutir as representações do feminino a partir das relações entre literatura e cinema em níveis práticos e teóricos das obras literárias de Henry James Washington Square, Daisy Miller e The Europeans e dos filmes homônimos de Agnieszka Holland, Peter Bogdanovich e James Ivory, respectivamente, tendo como ponto de partida as protagonistas Catherine Sloper, Daisy Miller e Eugenia Munster. Acreditamos que tais representações equivalem, no contexto das obras, a uma apropriação do olhar masculino – the male gaze – sobre o corpo feminino. Os signos do cinema hollywoodiano estão carregados de uma ideologia patriarcal que sustenta as estruturas sociais e constrói a mulher de uma maneira específica, refletindo as necessidades e o inconsciente patriarcal. A partir de uma leitura intersemiótica, que rejeita a noção de fidelidade e vê a obra alvo como uma tradução do texto de partida, propomos uma reflexão a respeito da identidade de gênero criada e veiculada sob uma ótica masculina. Para isso, além da teoria de tradução, nos apoiamos, como suporte teórico, na teoria feminista do cinema contemporâneo, que se preocupa em desmascarar as imagens, o signo da mulher, para ver como funcionam os significados adjacentes ao código fílmico
This thesis aims to discuss the representations of the feminine concerning the relations between literature and cinema on practical and theoretical levels having as its basis Henry James’s literary works Washington Square, Daisy Miller and The Europeans, as well their homonymous filmic versions made by Agnieszka Holland, Peter Bogdanovich and James Ivory, respectively, having as starting point the leading figures Catherine Slopes, Daisy Miller and Eugenia Munster. We believe that such representations correspond, in the context of the works, to an appropriation of the masculine glance – the male gaze – over the feminine body. The signs of Hollywood´s film industry are loaded of a patriarchal ideology that sustains social structures and build woman in a specific manner, reproducting needs and patriarchal unconsciousness. Based on an intersemiotic reading, which refuses the idea of fidelity and sees the target work as a translation of the starting text, we propose a reflection about the gender identity created and conveyed in a male perspective. For that, beyond the translation theory, we have as a complementary theoretical support the feminist theory of the contemporary cinema which is concerned to unmask the images, the woman´s sign, to see how the adjacent meanings to the filmic code works
