Ler Machado/ acessar Machado: reinvenção do clássico machadiano no ciberespaço

Abstract

This doctoral dissertation, inspired by the assumptions of converge culture which blurs the frontiers between new and old media, art and entertainment, entertainment and education, high and low culture, aims at investigating the emergence of online textual interventions related to the Machadian classic. The dislocation of Machado’s literature to the platforms of Web 2.0 signals for the current reader’s challenge to have access to this output under various mediatic circunstances which keep certain distance from previous models of adaptation. Therefore, the focus of our analysis lies upon less traditional rereadings of the literary text (twitterfiction, fanfiction, web series, tv series, facebook simulation, animated cartoons). Our hypothesis is based on the power of the media and the digital culture genres to configure new interfaces for the literary adaptation as well as the literature teaching practices in the present time. Thus, this work unites critical/theoretical perspectives for the studies of adaptation in the context of media convergence related to the possibilities that the digital space, its technologies and the participative culture from which it emerges, offer for the multiple literacy procedures – literary and digital – in cyberspace.
