A PERSONAGEM-SIGNO REI LEAR/HIDETORA: intermidialidades e tradução intersemiótica da personagem rei em Shakespeare e Kurosawa

Abstract

In a general way this work tries to construct a morphological signs of the charactersking Lear and Hidetora, respectively in Shakespeare s King Lear (1606) and Japanese film director Kurosawa s film Ran (1985). Kurosawa can be considered as one of the main contemporary film maker who through his films brings an understanding through the intersemiotic translation as sign characters. This theoretical and analytical construction, construction that is the sign-character, looks forward to pass through a coherent system of generator of signs at the level of icons. From index to the symbols, there is a deep understanding of significations which in each character composes the interior and the interrelationship in each work. Thus these sign movements of each sign character are understood as a reciprocal constellation and at the same time it provokes the sentiments and meanings present in the characters-type (Lear and Hidetora). Thus, this proposal that culminates sign character finds theoretical and methodological support from the discussion which globalizes the aspects of intersemiotic translation proposed by Julio Plaza and Andre Lefevere, among others, in the context of signs theory described by Pierce and well supported in theorization and approaches about the characters and the inter discursive and schizophrenic aspect. Initially we present the formative purpose of sign characters through the examples taken from various productions in distinct languages (such as video clips, HQ, animation and cinema). Then we configure a comparative and relational space to proceed with a denominated analysis of enunciative scenes which assumes the sign action of the characters of the literary work and the film. Having the vectors, as the elements; death, power and metamorphosing the old age, the action of sign character indicates a double functionality, primarily, as a form of verifying the dynamic signs of characters in their environment, and an ample understanding related to the performance of the sign characters away from the orbit, from their initial support.
