NARRATIVE WAVING IN PASSARINHANDO:

AN ANALYSIS OS LITERARY REMIX

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the occurrence of literary remix in the work "Passarinhando," a visual narrative authored by Nathália Sá Cavalcante, initially targeted at children. The research is grounded in the theory of new literacies (Lankshear; Knobel, 2006; 2007; 2008) and the notion of remix (Buzato et al., 2013; Erstad, 2008), which helps to understand how a text hybridizes with other texts in the digital era. Regarding methodology, the research adopts a qualitative-interpretivist approach to analyze the notion of literary remix for data interpretation, without the concern of quantification. In terms of objectives, it is descriptive, as it describes and analyzes the images, while the procedures are classified as documentary, relying on previously unresearched documents as data sources. The research corpus consists of the work "Passarinhando" (Cavalcante, 2009), in print book, digital book, and video formats. The results indicate that "Passarinhando" is a literary remix inspired by the work of Brazilian poet Manoel de Barros, establishing transtextual relationships that imply new ways of signifying transitioning between verbal and visual elements, further re-signified through audiovisual media on YouTube. It is concluded that there are plausible evidences of the linking of images in "Passarinhando" with the work of poet Manoel de Barros, constituting a literary remix as a method and creative process, primarily demonstrated through the operation of transtextuality.
