A relação alquímica entre Meschonnic e Plaza: a transmutação do ritmo na tradução intersemiótica de Fullmetal Alchemist

Abstract

Through the dialogue between Julio Plaza’s Intersemiotic Translation Poetics (2013 [1987]) and Henri Meschonnic’s Poetics of Translating (2010 [1999]), this work aims to study rhythm in Fullmetal Alchemist (Arakawa, 2001-2010) manga series’s intersemiotic translations into movie. As main theoretical basis, it uses works of Plaza (2013 [1987]; 1981) and Meschonnic (2006; 2010 [1999]; 2010 [2007]; Martins, 2023a), along with cinema (Bordwell; Thompson, 2013 [2010]; Tarkovski, 1998) and manga (Eisner, 1989 [1985]; Groensteen, 2013 [2011]; Luyten, 2012; McCloud, 1995; Postema, 2018) studies. Based on those works and studies, the qualitative and comparative analysis investigates and problematizes how the ways of meaning’s (re)organization, in intersemiotic translation, impacts the relations of (in)variance in equivalence across systems of signs. As a result, it observes that rhythm is responsible for establishing the relations of (in)variance in equivalence across intersemiotic translations. In conclusion, the dialogue between Meschonnic (2010 [1999]) and Plaza (2013 [1987]), beyond continuing their poetics, provides, through rhythm, a new possibility of analysing intersemiotic translation’s discourse, contributing to the field of (Intersemiotic) Translation Studies.
