A retextualização em imagens do 'Translendário'

Abstract

This article will analyze the retextualization of a famous visual work art made from “Translendário”, a calendar produced by the actor, director and artist Silvero Pereira from Ceará. Such images have sparked controversy among religious and conservatives, because of its reference to sacred art. Our work, however, concerns the investigation of composing visual text and their possible variations, according to the retextualization phenomenon. We used as a theoretical basis the studies of Marchuschi (2001) e Sant’Anna (2003), and, starting with the reflection about the concepts of stylization, paraphrase and parody, we scrutinize four images from the corpus mentioned. Our contributions clarify points which refer to the operational categories of textuality and, moreover, point to the discussion about the artistic dialogue between different levels of society.
