Las obras precursoras son: “El beso de la mujer araña” (1976), de Manuel Puig; “El cartero de Neruda (Ardiente Paciencia)” (1985), de Antonio Skármeta; y “Arráncame la vida” (1985), de Ángeles Mastretta. Las respectivas adaptaciones cinematográficas son: “El beso de la mujer araña” (1985), de Héctor Babenco; “Il postino” (1994), de Michel Radford; y “Arráncame la vida” (2008), de Roberto Sneider. Éste es, pues, un análisis de carácter comparativo en el cual se rastrearán las relaciones entre dichos textos literarios y sus trasvases. El primer capítulo, “Consideraciones generales sobre la adaptación cinematográfica: Hacia un marco teórico-metodológico”, procura presentar una metodología crítica para llevar a cabo los análisis propuestos. Interesa aquí rastrear el diálogo estético entre el texto cinematográfico y el literario. Y dado que se presta especial atención a las transformaciones llevadas a cabo en las adaptaciones, se proponen hipótesis interpretativas que procuran dar cuenta de los cambios en cuestión. Para tal efecto, se acude a la noción de “poética de autor” ―en su doble carácter temático y representacional― con el objetivo de observar de qué modo cada trasvase ha tomado o no en cuenta la cosmovisión que subyace al texto literario precursor; es decir, de qué modo se produce el diálogo estético al que aludimos. En este orden de ideas, el acercamiento a la “poética de autor” que rige el trabajo ficcional de Puig, Skármeta y Mastretta nos ha llevado a realizar una lectura extensiva de sus respectivas obras literarias. 4 En el segundo capítulo, “La novela en el contexto del post-boom latinoamericano”, se realiza una labor de contextualización. Aquí se examina el campo de la novela durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Latinoamérica: las transformaciones respecto del paradigma ficcional del “Boom”, las fuertes dificultades de legitimación cultural que tuvieron los escritores del post-boom ―como Puig, Skármeta y Mastretta―, los nuevas dinámicas de relación con los lectores propuestas por estos autores, sus entrañables relaciones con la cultura popular y mass-mediática, su alejamiento de la “alta cultura”. En otras palabras, aquí se estudian los elementos comunes, históricamente circunscritos, que hay en las concepciones ficcionales de estos escritores. Los capítulos tres, cuatro y cinco corresponden al trabajo analítico propiamente dicho. El tercero se ocupa de “El beso de la mujer araña”, de Puig, y del trasvase realizado por Babenco; el cuarto, de “Ardiente paciencia (El cartero de Neruda)”, de Skármeta, y de la versión fílmica de Radford; el quinto, de “Arráncame la vida”, de Mastretta, y de la adaptación llevada a cabo por Sneider. La estructura de estos tres capítulos es similar. Cada uno de ellos se abre con el estudio de la poética narrativa del autor de la obra precursora ―a su vez, este apartado inicia haciendo un breve recorrido biográfico-literario sobre los inicios escriturales de cada novelista―; esto es, con un análisis de los elementos temáticos y representacionales que fundamentan su trabajo narrativo (dicho estudio ha implicado la lectura transversal de las diversas obras de cada autor, a objeto de establecer sus constantes ficcionales). Seguidamente, se pasa al estudio de la obra literaria puntual a partir de la cual se ha realizado el trasvase fílmico. Una vez concluida esta tarea, se ha procedido a realizar el análisis de la adaptación cinematográfica ―este apartado se inicia con un sucinto recuento del proyecto fílmico 5 que dio lugar a la película―. El trabajo comparativo entre cada filme y su novela precursora se detiene a destacar las transformaciones más importantes que han tenido lugar en la adaptación. De este modo se rastrea el tipo de diálogo estético que se produce en el trasvase, si los cambios han implicado o no una afectación significativa respecto de la cosmovisión fundante del texto literario, si los adaptadores han previsto o no estrategias de mitigación en caso de trasformaciones de esta naturaleza, o si han preferido trazar nuevos recorridos temáticos y representacionales; es decir, si han optado por desarrollar cosmovisiones alternas a aquella que rige el texto precursor. ABSTRACT This thesis proposes the analysis of three representative novels of the Latin American post-boom and their film adaptations. The precursor novels include: “El beso de la mujer araña” (1976), by Manuel Puig; “El cartero de Neruda (Ardiente paciencia)” (1985), by Antonio Skármeta; and “Arráncame la vida” (1985), by Angeles Mastretta. The respective film adaptations include: “El beso de la mujer araña” (1985) by Hector Babenco; “Il Postino” (1994), by Michel Radford; and “Arráncame la vida” (2008) by Roberto Sneider. This is, then, an analysis of comparative nature, in which the relations between literary texts and such adaptations will be studied. The first chapter, “Consideraciones generales sobre la adaptación cinematográfica: Hacia un marco teórico-metodológico”, seeks to provide a critical method to carry out the proposed analyzes. The interest here is to trace the aesthetic dialogue between film and literary text. Since special attention is paid to the transformations carried out in adaptations, we provide interpretative hypotheses that 6 attempt to account for the changes in question. To this end, we turn to the notion of “the poetry of the autor” in its dual meaning: thematic and representational, in order to observe how each adaptation has taken into account or not the worldview underlying the precursor literary text, ie how the aesthetic dialogue that we alluded occurs. Therefore, the approach to the “poetry of the autor” that governs the fictional work of Puig, Skármeta and Mastretta has led us to make an extensive reading of their literary works. In the second chapter, “La novela en el contexto del post-boom latinoamericano”, a work of contextualization is made. Here the field of the novel is examined during the second half of the twentieth century in Latin America: the transformation in the fictional paradigm of “Boom”, strong cultural legitimation difficulties that the writers of post-boom had ―like Puig, Skármeta and Mastretta―, the new dynamics of relationship with readers proposed by these authors, their intimate relationship with popular culture and mass-media, and their distance from the “high culture”. In other words, we have studied common elements in these writers’ fictional ideas in historical sense. Chapters three, four

And a good example that this is so is furnished by "Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women." All concede this to be one of the finest pictures we have released. And, yet, it is not in every situation being given the sort of exploitation it merits. Everywhere I have gone people have praised the picture. We know It is outstanding. It builds—but that reflects no exploitation support; rather, it proves that the picture, on its own merit and word of mouth praise, is doing th e business it is attracting. The studio's encouragement comes from the manner in which pictures are handled, exploited. What good is the best playtime if a picture is handicapped from its outset by an inadequate campaign? Check up on the way 'Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women" is being handl ed in every situation. Let us remove the handcuffs! One large ad does not constitute a campaign—not by any means! We must insist on more vigorous handling; otherwise we are depreciating our studio's efforts. first step The toward getting proper returns is to sell right.

  • 20Th Century-Fox Dynamo (August 12, 1939)
    MOVIETONE CITY—Louis Bromfieid's "The Rains Came" has developed into the greatest world-grossing motion picture of all time. I have just seen it and I say unconditionally that it is positively sensational. It has everything. Based upon a great book, with the finest cast ever assembled in one picture and possessing spectacles that are positively terrifying in realism and thrills, but great as the spectacular sequences are, the story holds you every second. It would be a great picture without the spectacles. It has comedy, pathos, thrills and drama and is loaded with sex. _ _ It is so unprecedentedly great that we are going to lose no time in making it available to our accounts. Therefore, we will release it on Sept. 15. Negative of "The Rains Came" will be shipped to New York on Sept. 1. I am more convinced than ever that we must fight for top prices and right percentages on our top 24 specials. Therefore, do not let anyone be rushed into making unsatisfactory contracts. Darryl Zanuck is tremendously excited and enthused over "Drums Along the Mohawk," "Brigham Young," "Swanee River." "Little Old New York," of "Grapes Wrath" and all his big ones. He is pouring huge sums into all of these specials, so it is, obviously, up to us to see that the right sort of terms are obtained. Based on what I have seen in the past several days, I am confident we will attain our Kent Drive quota as our weekly contribution to the new season's : NEW DYNAMO “STANLEY” EXCEEDS “JAMES” GROSS ON THE COAST Scene Of Sensational Opening Of Zanuck’s Thriller In New
