Alice e Ela: aproximações sob uma perspectiva pós-moderna entre a obra literária Alice no País das Maravilhas (2002) de Lewis Carroll e a obra fílmica Ela (2014) de Spike Jonze

Abstract

Post-modernity emerges in the 20st century as a contemporary social condition, initially acknowledged by François Lyotard in his philosophical work. Such condition has brought ruptures between social pillar and beliefs which used to support society during the former period. It was permeated by the legitimization of knowledge, scientific progress, individualism, as well as industrial and technological revolutions. This study is based on the works of selected author such as François Lyotard (1998), Linda Hutcheon (1991), Steven Connor (2004), Terry Eagleton (2006-2016), Gilles Deleuze (2000-2012), Gilles Lipovestky (2005-2014) e Zygmunt Bauman (2001), the analysis, which will make use of the investigative method, in a qualitative perspective, in order to verify how the corpus fictionally represent the studied characteristics in literature and in cinema. In this context, this research aims to analyze the main characteristics of the post-modern aesthetics, more specifically in the novel Alice in Wonderland (1965) by Lewis Carrol and the film Her (2013) by Spike Jonze. Highlighted as renowned homologies by Umberto Eco, the structural similarities between cinema and literature, throughth post-modern perspective utilized on the corpus were found as approximation characteristics such as exacerbated individualism, the identity crisis, supported by Freud, Hall and Bauman; absence of elements of religiosity as seen in Eagleton and, finally, deterritorialization as an escape route, supported by Deleuze & Guattari (1997); Augé (1994) conceptualizing the non-place; as transit, displacement was analyzed as an escape route for the fantastic in the concept of Todorov (1981) and virtual based in Lévy (1996), confirming approaches from the perspective of postmodernity present in the two components of the corpus.
