RELAÇÕES INTERSEMIÓTICAS ENTRE LITERATURA E ARTES PLÁSTICAS

Abstract

This research approaches the intersemiotic relations between literature and the plastic arts, which the main goal is the process of metamorphosis (or dereferentiation) in art work, as well as the sense-generating power resulting of such a process. Thus, this work aims to articulate structural homological relations between distinct semiotic systems (literary and plastic) in order to generate mutual enlightenment between them. It seeks to present ways of understanding the work of art through the explanation of conjunctions of roots by establishing structural homologies to the creation process. In fact, the work aims to penetrate the particularities of languages (verbal and visual) in order to reveal them in their constructive and meaningful procedures. So, this work was based on intense bibliographical research and analysis of the works analyzed. Among them, two pairs of works were prioritized in order to establish a dialogue between literature and painting: the novel The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka, and the painting The Anthropomorphic Cabinet, by Salvador Dalí; the novel El mundo de Vasabarros, by José J. Veiga, and the plastic work The Trench, by Otto Dix. In addition, the literary and artistic works of art, especially of modernity, are more closely related to the process of creation, or rather to the process of Metamorphosis (dereferentiation) in art work, responsible for creating new and more senses. Thus, pieces of signs connect to generate a new form, metamorphosed into a complex sign, which foundations are based on the procedures of derealization, deautomation, singularization and estrangement, very common to the dereferred arts of modernity.
