TRAINSPOTTING – DESCONSTRUÇÃO, CONSTRUÇÃO E DIFERENTES RELACÕES INTERSEMIOTICAS: LIVRO – CINEMA.

Abstract

Trainspotting is an irreverent and uncompromising work, written by Irvine Welsh, which shows the B-side of the Scottish Society of Edinburgh. The work portrays the lives of five addicted to heroin. However, the purpose of this summary is to show how a book with so many features not to be a bestseller, because he address issues such as violence, drugs, death, deconstruction, madness and identity, became controversial within the global literary criticism. The work runs through several arguments, which one of the most highlighted by the characters would be the meaning of life within capitalist ruling system, which does not gives them no benefit of their own self-construction of identity, starting with the political situation in Scotland where, in time of the work's publication, continued to submit the impositions of the British government. This discomfort perpetuates throughout work as questioning identity and philosophy. However, despite all des-realizations, deconstructions and constructs, which offers Welsh us, there is the problem of translating the book into the movie screen. While reading the book, and then, watching his film adaptation, we realized that was held by director Danny Boyle a respectable dialogue between different semiotic, which led to an adjustment to the level of the work. We also analyze the book through the reception theory spectrum and seek to reflect on issues relating to anxiety, absurdity, the apocalypse theory and alienation inserted in history as well.
