“JUSTE LA FIN DU MONDE”: UN CASO STUDIO DI TRADUZIONE INTERSEMIOTICA

This work aims to look at certain aspects involved in the translation process, from a linguistic as well as an intercultural and inter-semiotic point of view. Starting from the inter-semiotic translation concept theorized by Roman Jakobson, we will analyse the film adaptation of a pièce, written in 1990 by Jean-Luc Lagarce and filmed in 2016 by Xavier Dolan, in order to highlight the process of re-semantization and multiplication of meaning involved in the transition from the page to the screen. After some theoretical information, through a semiotic analysis and a continuous comparison between written and visual text, we will try to highlight some of the film adaptation’s mechanisms with a particular focus on thematic and figurative isotopies and on the filmmaker’s plastic and stylistic choices.
