Tecendo mitos: a ilustração de livros como forma de tradução intersemiótica e ressignificação do feminino

Abstract

Intersemiotic translation processes are actions that not only involve sign exchange, but also concern intercultural translations - the "translation of tradition" - as postulate by the authors of the Tartu-Moscow School - and the materiality of supports, called by Vilém Flusser (2011) "perfidy of the object". In these processes, endogenous and exogenous images (Belting, 2012) feed back the culture and resize its contents. This article is devoted to discuss the illustration of books as a form of intersemiotic translation. Our object, the translation of the tale A Moça Tecelã, by M. Colasanti, by Matizes Dumont, confirms the ancestral vocation of embroidery and weaving as forms of sign translation and poetic production - in the mythical sense of poiesis (to make, to create). This, in this case, re-signifies the narratives about feminine. Our interest is the observation of the gestures of hands and their search towards production of myths
