| Abstract | |
This research is about the transpositions of the novel The butcher boy (1992), by Patrick McCabe, to the play Frank Pig says hello (1992), also by Patrick McCabe, and into the movie The butcher boy (1997), adapted and directed by Neil Jordan. The aim is to analyze how the novel appears on stage and on screen, that is, which techniques are used in both artistic representations. To do so, we explore the concept of transposition, a specific type of adaptation that changes the genre of a story, as well as the intertextual dialogism between novel and play, and novel and film. This research attempts to find out not only how, but why people make transpositions of pieces of work. Are we now lacking new plots? Or would it be due to the fact that transpositions give continuity to a topic that has not yet run out? This work will give support to researchers within Literary Theory, Literature, Cinema, Theater, and Comparative Literature, for instance. Within Irish Studies, this research will contribute to the study of novels, plays, and contemporary Irish movies. (AU) | |
