semelhanças e diferenças entre a obra literária "Vozes de Tchernóbil" e a minissérie televisiva Chernobyl

Abstract

The cinema and the literature reinvente themselves each year, and the transposition between such medias is always a source for new research. The book “Voices from Chernobyl”, by Svetlana Aleksiévitch, is an example of this movement: the reports from the people (firefighters, liquidators[i], housewives etc.) from the power plant city-base were part of the references used for the creation of the 2019 TV serie “Chernobyl”. This article uses both of the works cited to discuss the matter, to reflect upon the importance of literature for the cinema and how the media transposition happens in this so recent case, exposing it and analyzing it under the optics of Hutcheon, Stam, Gagnebin e Sarlo.

[i] Popular name given to the Young soldiers recruited for the extermination of contaminated animals around the exclusion zone in Chernobyl and Pripyat.
