Uma noite trágica, de Antônio Tavernard: uma leitura intermidiática

Abstract

Antônio Tavernard is a writer from Pará who is little known both in his state and in other regions of Brazil, and who has received few studies focusing on his prose. This dissertation presents an intermedial analysis of the short story “Uma noite trágica”, which is part of the short story collection Fêmea (2011), initially published in Primeira magazine in 1928. The study consists of investigating the process of media transposition (Rajewsky, 2012) between printed media: from the magazine to the book. We sought to identify the changes that occurred from the base text to the new media and to show how the textual elements present in the transposition process help us to understand the context and specificities of the source work, from the perspective of Intermediality (Claus Clüver, 2006, 2011), the understanding of the periodical press (Khouri, 2003; Ribeiro, 2022;) and the presentation of concepts about textual supports (Cavallo; Chartier, 1998; Goulart, 2014). We also studied the image and configuration of the issue's cover in relation to the short stories it contains. Through this research, we verified the differences between the media in dialog and how their materiality and circulation contribute to the construction, dissemination and knowledge of the writer's work.
