Da poesia épica para o audiodrama: a (re)construção do herói na radionovela “A Eneida é uma fanfic”

Abstract

The Aeneid is a fanfic, adaptation made by Isadora Ramalho in the podcast format of the work Aeneid by Virgílio, it talks about the adventures of Aeneas, Troian hero, who after witnessing the destruction of his city, receives a mission given by destiny: to reach Italy and found the "new Troy". The objective of this dissertation will be to analyze the first chapter of the radio soap opera and comment on the changes that occurred between the two texts, since a translation is subject to losses and gains. Furthermore, while in the Virgilian epic Aeneas becomes an ideal figure, who should be pursued and expected of every vir romanus (PIRES, 2016), in the melodrama there is a replacement of the habit of locating exemplary models and a growing tendency to show ordinary men and doubt the heroes (HUPPES, 2000). Thus, for the analysis to be carried out, the literary work Aeneid (translation by Manuel Odorico Mendes) and the radio soap opera will be placed side by side. In addition, we use as theoretical contributions from Adaptation Theories, such as Sanders (2006), Stam (2000) and Cluver (2012). Furthermore, in the comments of the translation, it will be shown how the transposition process was according to the point of view of the translator herself. Finally, it was observed that the works were influenced by their socio-historical contexts, especially with regard to the target audience, in addition, there was a dialogue between the texts, and that instead of rejecting an old experience during its reformulation, it was used for the (re)construction of something new, making it eternal.
