FOR AN IMPURE CINEMA: AUTONOMOUS EXISTENCE, CREATION, WRITING WITH THE CAMERA, VIOLENCE AND THE TRAGIC IN THE GRAPES OF WRATH, WHERE THE WEAK HAVE NO TIME AND THE TIME OF THE STAR
Cinema; Literature; Philosophy; Capitalism.
This thesis aims to study the creative adaptation of the films The grapes of wrath (1940), by John Ford, Hour of the star (1985), by Suzana Amaral, and No country for old men (2007), by Ethan and Joel Coen, respectively based on the texts The grapes of wrath (1939), by John Steinbeck, The hour of the star (1977), by Clarice Lispector, and No country for old men (2005), by Cormac McCarthy. This will be through the bias of concepts such as “impure cinema”, by André Bazin, and “creation”, by Gilles Deleuze, as well as other concepts worked by the philosopher Friedrich Nietsche, by Deleuze in his partnership with Félix Guattari, by Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco. The intention will be to think about these cinematographic works through a look that observes the films as creations that are supported by the literary material in which they were inspired, but that become independent within another art, in this case the cinema, and gain other layers of meanings in their allegorical meanings when they think, violating the thought of their spectator, the violent world of capital.
