Comparative Literature: Literature and Film as the Double Look of Janus. The Fluidity of Boundaries and the Parallel Universes

Luis Miguel Cardoso ^[2] | Teresa Mendes

Abstract: In a comparative literature study, the discussion about the fluidity of the boundaries between Literature and Film is a universe that reflects a history marked by close or lesser proximity. Often, in this sense, a critical study of this problem has a double look because it not only requires a diachronic view but also a synchronous one. On the other hand, is not only important to identify points of convergence but of divergence, always in conjunction with the objective of analysing the equipollents Literature and Film. So, between Literature and Film, a double look is needed, like the Roman god Janus, linking, for example, semiotics and narratology, and evaluating the possible multiplicity of perspectives.
