A construção da identidade do narrador de Dois Irmãos: relações intersígnicas entre o romance de Hatoum e a adaptação para graphic novel de Moon e Bá

Abstract

Milton Hatoum is one of the most expressive authors of Brazilian postmodernism. Two Brothers, his second novel is one of his most awarded works and was adapted as graphic novel by the renowned comic writers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá. Besides the central point of the narrative, that is the conflicting relationship between Yaqub and Omar, another interesting point is analyzing the work based on the evolution of the narrator's identity in the course of the narrative. This identity construction, both in the novel and in the adaptation to the graphic novel of Dois Irmãos, is analyzed at this paper based on the conceptions of identity of Stuart Hall and Zygmunt Bauman, thus drawing a parallel between these theorists and the evolution of the identity of the narrator at the works. In addition, it is interesting to analyze by the Plaza and his studies of Intersemiotic Translation, the dialogue between Hatoum works and the adaptation of Moon and Bá.
