O insólito em Stardust: análise de duas linguagens

Abstract

The Uncommon is a category of literary genres which includes Fantastic, Marvelous and Uncanny narratives. It is aimed in this work to verify in which aspects the Uncommon manifestation in the book of Stardust, from Neil Gaiman, relates to its cinematographic version. From the notions proposed by Todorov and Ceserani about Fantastic literature, we identify which characteristics of literary narrative might be included in the Uncommon and we observe parts of the book which use such procedures. The fantastic in cinema presents the same basic characteristics that literature and the Uncommon means can also be seen in cinematographic narrative —language presented based mainly on Deleuze, Xavier and Gauldreault and Jost. Comparing excerpts from the book and its adaptation to cinema, we notice a preference of the cinematographic language to the visual means of Uncommon, to the detriment of psychological procedures, more noticeable in the book.
