Neurodivergência e literatura: diálogos entre as personagens de o Pequeno Príncipe e Temple Grandin

Abstract

In this study we investigate some questions related to neurodivergence and its approximations with literature, culminating in possible dialogues between the characters of the literary work O Pequeno Príncipe (1943), by Anto,,ine de Saint-Exupéry, and the film production Temple Grandin (2010), directed by Mick Jackson. Therefore, the central objective is to demonstrate that the neurodivergent condition, transcreated in aesthetic works can contribute with new perspectives, considerations, theorizations and means that enable practices aimed at inclusion. In this sense, it is also intended to analyze the dialogues of the characters of the cited works and other similar texts, building an analytical table that focuses on the reality of the neurodiverse condition. The question that guides the elaboration of the research can be observed in the following inquiry: how works of art, through transcription processes, can make emerge images and characters, representing the neurodivergent reality? The methodology used is qualitative, comprising bibliographic and literary studies, using techniques and methodological approaches relevant to comparative and transcriptional translation, since it involves systems of differentiated signs in distinct aesthetic products. The research carried out under the Graduate Program in Literature and Literary Criticism demonstrates its relevance to studies of this field while contributing to the search for new dimensions, reflections and analytical considerations about the dialogical connections between languages, neurodivergence, literature and cinema. The work is structured in two sections. In the first, it is treated the problem of neurodivergence, pointing historical and conceptual aspects, dialoguing as related themes were climbing in the field of arts, such as literature and cinema. The first section aims to outline an overall view to understand various issues that guide and surround neurodivergence, presenting considerations on its use and presentation in works of art. In the second section, we present an interpretative analysis of the dialogues contained in the works chosen as objects of study, from the voice of the characters with a centralized focus on aspects that suggest the representativeness and existentiality of the neurodivergent person
