Intermedia Transposition

 A dissertation about the comic adaptation Jane by Aline Brosh McKenna and Ramón K. Pérez:

Aspectos da Transposição Intermidiática do Romance Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë, para a graphic novel Jane, de Aline Brosh McKenna e Ramón K. Pérez

Lídia Maria Guimarães de Miranda, 2023

Our objective in this dissertation is to analyze the process of transposition of the novel Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë (1847), to the graphic novel Jane, by Aline Brosh McKenna and Ramón K. Pérez (2019), from the perspective of theories of Intermediality and Adaptation. The research also takes into account an important aspect of Brontë’s work, which is the fact that it has, at the same time, characteristics of a feuilleton novel and a Bildungsroman – which makes its adaptation process more complex. Such characteristics were also transposed and found in the graphic novel Jane. To deal with the issue of intermedia transposition, we made use of the following authors: Linda Hutcheon (2013) to approach the issue of adaptation theory; and Claus Clüver (2012), Irina Rajewsky (2020) and Lars Elleström (2017) to approach studies on intermediality. The work, based on bibliographic research and analysis of verbal and non-verbal texts, also takes into account the following authors linked to literary criticism, the history of literature and the analysis of comics: Rocha (2008), Carvalho and Silva (2021), Soares (2007), Hauser (1982), Moisés (1985; 1987), Silveira, Sangaletti and Wagner (2018), Silva (2015), Maas (2000), Carvalho (2010), Aguiar and Silva (1991), Mccloud (1995), Hatfield (2005) and Eisner (2010), among others.
