FROM UNIVERSAL LITERATURE TO BRAZILIAN CORDEL: ADAPTATIONS AS INTRASEMIOTIC TRANSLATIONS

Authors

Abstract

Translations can be considered as rewritings of original texts, and as such, they can help authors and works to be disseminated and appreciated more widely, reaching audiences whose original works, for various reasons, would not be easily accessible. In this context, in this study, we present some adaptations of classics of universal literature for the literary genre of Brazilian cordel. In this work, we consider such adaptations as intrasemiotic translations, since such transmutations occur from a verbal semiotic medium to the same verbal semiotic medium, in which titles of universal literature are transformed into narrative poems written in the fixed poetic forms typical of Brazilian cordel. We have presented multiple examples of this type of translation, from the early years of cordel production to the present day, whose literary tradition has already reached over 120 years.
