Um estudo comparativo entre as memórias de Violeta se fue a los Cielos, de Ángel Parra, e a versão homônima para o cinema, de Andrés Wood

Abstract

The work focuses on developing an intertextual comparative study between the memories of Violeta se fue a los Cielos, by Ángel Parra (2006), which describes passages in the life of Violeta Parra, a Chilean singer and folklorist, and the homonymous cinematographic work (2011), by the filmmaker Andrés Wood. Whenever a cinematographic work is analyzed based on a literary text, it is noticed that there are significant differences between these two forms of language; while a literary text is constructed fundamentally through a written narrative, cinema uses images, sounds and other resources to tell a story, in addition to also using the words of the oral / written code. It can be observed that both literature and cinema, although conceived as different languages, are artistic expressions that approach and establish significant intertextual relationships in terms of artistic languages. In addition to singing, Violeta Parra was a multiple, simple and self-taught artist, impressing with her creative talent: she was an author, composer, collector, poet, painter, sculptor, embroiderer, ceramist and a passionate woman with intense contradictions, what made her a charismatic figure, very interesting and passionate to know and research. This work is based on the comparative studies of Pellegrini (2003), Palma (2004), Stam (2006), Marinho (2009), Hutcheon (2011) and León (2014), intending to analyze the emblematic figure of Violeta Parra through the narrative of the memorialistic text and its adaptation for the cinema: two languages that, being distinct, complement each other when telling a story.
