RESUMO
The first part of this study analyzes, using a comparative approach, "O Sobrado", a chapter from the historical novel from the State of Rio Grande do Sul entitled O Continente (1949), itself part of the trilogy O tempo e o vento, and its film adaptation, O Sobrado (1956), aiming at establishing relations between the characterization of the main character, Licurgo Cambará, and the representation of history. Following the same methodology, the second part of this work analyzes the novel Netto perde sua alma (1995) and its homonymous film adaptation, especially aiming to establish relations between the characterization of the main character, general Antônio de Souza Netto, and the representation of the past. Taking into account the context of production of these novels and films, this study also intends to investigate the representation of the gaucho implied by the characterization of the main characters. The close analysis draws on a cross-disciplinary approach, including tools from the domain of literature and cinema. This study particularly uses a sociological approach to literature, which values analyses of the representation of history as the pre-condition of the present, according to the definitions developed by Georg Lukács, as well as a text-based one, focused on the self-reflexivity and the problematization of the act of telling, especially as proposed by Linda Hutcheon and Seymour Menton. It is also the aim of this study to analyze film adaptations so as go beyond a discussion of how faithful the movie was to the novel exclusively focused on its plot, thereby including other elements, such as mise-en-scene, photography, editing, and sound in the debate, especially according to the work developed by Robert Stam and David Bordwell. The study concludes that there have been significant changes in the characterizations of Licurgo and Netto, both in the adaptation of the books to the cinema and in the way the main characters were characterized over a period of approximately half a century, with implications and consequences for the representation of the past found in these works, which, to a certain extent, suggests how they relate to some trends and features that are characteristic of their time.
