Resumen
MORALES CAMPOS, Arturo y PARDO FERNANDEZ, Rodrigo. Symbolic reading of certain adaptations of the myth: from Orfeu da Conceiçao a Orfeu Negro. Valenciana [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.29, pp.57-80. Epub 18-Abr-2022. ISSN 2007-2538. https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v14i29.559.
It is common to understand adaptation as a simple translation. However, social-historic circumstances could be highly determining and significant within that “translation”. In other words, some social conditions in which the new text emerges can be integrated and give it a somewhat different meaning: either transcribing or criticizing these circumstances.
This paper deals with the film Orfeu Negro (1959), by Marcel Camus, with the objective of analyzing certain textual elements: signs, symbols, myths, etc., common in the context that this text emerges. These elements give it specificity and, in addition, a series of ideological references, that, to a large extent, oppose the traditional perception of the term ‘adaptation’.
