A.J. Raffles and Arsène Lupin in Literature, Theatre, and Film: On The Transnational Adaptations of Popular Fiction (1905-1930)

As a consequence of the accelerating technological development and the impact of cultural globalisation, the transnational aspects of the process of adaptation have become increasingly crucial in recent years. To go back to the very beginnings of the twentieth century and research the historical connections between popular literature, theatre, and film can shed greater light on the origins of these phenomena. By focusing on two case studies from turn-of-the-century crime fiction, this paper examines the extent to which practices of serialisation, translation, and adaptation of literary works contributed to the formation of a transnational market for popular culture. Ernest W. Hornung’s A. J. Raffles and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin were the heroes of two crime series that were immediately translated, imitated, and adapted into countless theatrical plays and films all over the world. Given the resemblance between the two characters, the two franchises frequently ended by overlapping. Their ability to move from a medium to another as well as from a country to another was the result of the logic of ‘recycling, remaking, retelling’ (Brian Naremore) that guides not only the process of adaptation but also the creation of any work of popular culture.

Escolarização e tradição : o conto popular vai à escola

É sobretudo nos finais do século XIX e princípios do século XX que, no contexto português, a literatura popular de expressão oral ganha evidência, fruto do trabalho de recolha e pesquisa que uma elite intelectual, predominantemente liberal e republicana, lhe consagra. Esta literatura popular, objecto de reconstrução erudita, é hoje ainda frequentemente vista como uma manifestação literária de “segunda ordem”, praticamente ausente nos currículos universitários, minoritariamente presente nas publicações académicas. Ela inscreve-se, contudo, junto de produções de autores “consagrados” e de produções não literárias, nos actuais programas de Português do Ensino Básico. É à compreensão dos modos de apropriação escolar desta literatura de tradição oral, em especial do conto, que este estudo se consagra. Em termos metodológicos, o estudo inscreve-se no âmbito da pesquisa qualitativa, centrando-se fundamentalmente na descrição e interpretação de dados verbais produzidos em sala de aula, bem como nos discursos que para as aulas se constroem. Focamos, assim, as práticas discursivas de professores de Português - leccionando a disciplina a alunos do 3º ciclo de escolaridade - e as instâncias discursivas que mediatamente regulam essas práticas: os programas Oficiais (as indicações aí preconizadas para a abordagem da temática) e os manuais (“tradutores” desse discurso oficial e fonte mais próxima do trabalho pedagógico do professor). As conclusões aqui evidenciadas poderão ser um contributo para a compreensão sobre o modo como “o conto popular vai à escola”, i.e., sobre o modo como a “tradição”, pela acção da “escolarização”, se transforma.

Peias e espartilhos: sátira popular à moda francesa na Primeira República

In the first decades of the Republic, the streets of the main Brazilian capital cities, especially of Rio de Janeiro and Recife, recently urbanized based on the Haussmanian Paris and smiled upon by the fever of cosmopolitanism that invested Europe, women had been used as runways where they could exhibit her imitated or imported models, especially in Paris. The iconography of the time and the advertisements conveyed by magazines and illustrated periodicals, such as the Almanach de Pernambuco and the magazine Kosmos, for instance, form the testimonies of the massive presence of the French in Rio and Recife, owners of stores and maisons, interested in fulfill the demands of the republican public. In spite of the Strong adherence of the Brazilians to the sociability models to the imported from Europe, the less-favored classes, through the popular literature, showed some resistance to these changes in the habits and clothing, especially in the Northeast, where traces of the Catholic and patriarchal moral and mentality were still alive.
