Lucíola, na literatura e no cinema: a protagonista e a indumentária no contexto do século XIX

Abstract

Studying the novel Lucíola, by José de Alencar, published in 1862, and the film Lucíola, o anjo pecador (The sinful angel), by Alfredo Sternheim, released in 1975, this dissertation proposes to research an approach to the characterization of the protagonist of the works through their clothing, in the novel, and through their costume, in the film. This is not a study about fashion in the nineteenth century through literature, but, on the contrary, it is a study about a desire to analyze the contributions of fashion to literature and how we situate this dialogue within the literary narrative. Anchored in the descriptions of clothing present in Alencar's novel, the focus of the research is directed to a survey of the garment as text (written and visual), and as such, to investigate the attention given by the author and the film director to this component of language . In developing a platform of study guided by the interface between literature and cinema, it is also intended to outline the development of costume in the process of adapting a literary work, examining the importance of the text as a source of research and its influence on the construction of the costumes used in the film.
