Do livro ao stories: o texto literário adaptado para Instagram Stories a partir do projeto The Girl with the Instagram

Abstract

This monography aims to explore the potential of the Instagram Stories as a tool for the development of narratives that adapt literary texts, using ​The girl with the Instagram as a study object, a project that adapts Eva Heyman’s diary, written in Hungary in 1944, based on the premise of what it would be like if the girl had a smartphone and shared her life during the war through her Instagram profile. Literature has always been used as a source for the production of stories in different media. Cinema, for example, seeks inspiration in novels from its beginning. Critics, however, have the habit of judging audiovisual adaptation as inferior to the literary work, in a hierarchical dualism that devalues ​​the “copy” and confers an untouchable aura on the “original”. Meanwhile, there are authors of Adaptation Theories, Narratology and Intertextuality, such as Anelise Reich Corseuil, Claus Clüver and Robert Stam, who propose a more inclusive and horizontal view of adaptations. These analyzes, combined with communication studies and online narrative studies, contribute to the understanding of Instagram Stories’ narrative potential.
