The extensive and originally hermetic literary work, when re-created for television, became difficult to understand, resulting in poor reception by the public - though highly praised by reviewers - compared to works in the same format and time of exhibition. In this study, the author proposes a reflection, in the light of semiotic and communication theories, in order to understand the relationship between the work and the viewer. The analysis takes into account especially the options of the expression plan as well as the closeness that the audiovisual narrative maintains with the literary work. The conclusion reached is that the introduction of the elements of the enunciation - person, time and place - inherited from the novel, as well as expressive options like camera movements, light, prosody and gesture, impart an excessively accelerated rhythm, which interferes in the understanding of the work and in its consequent reception.展开更多

This paper aims to analyze the differences between political economy and cultural studies, two primary but sometimes competing ways of examining media and communication, following a detailed description of their theoretical trajectory. Also, this paper suggests building a bridge connecting the two disciplines, the integration of which is essential to an adequate account of gender, race and social movement studies in addition to class analysis.展开更多
