O romance muda de lado : de Dom Casmurro a minissérie Capitu.

Abstract

This monograph discusses an intersemiotic relation between the sitcom Capitu, directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho (2008), and Machado de Assis‟s play Dom Casmurro, contemplating the concept of transtextuais relations based on the studies of Gerard Genette. Defending a conception of adaptation that goes beyond a simple copy idea and considering the possible dialogues between the verbal signs of literature and television, this analysis focus on the protagonists – Capitu (Capitolina) and Bentinho (Bento Santiago) - and stresses the numerous particularities corresponding to each character from the reading of scholars such as Thaïs Flores Nogueira Diniz, Linda Hutcheon, Robert Stam and others.
