Resumo: | At the end of the first decade of the new millennium, the publishing market saw the rise of a new form of textual composition, the literary mashup, which is produced by means of reading and writing movements that empower Barthes’ understanding of texts as "tissues of quotations"; to do so, a mashup is based on procedures of fragmentation of a classic work so as to insert elements of contemporary pop culture in it. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, was the pioneer of this trend, thus paving the way for a new wave in the industry of best-sellers produced through the same procedures. This paper analyzes the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in order to understand, in terms of immanence, the procedures through which Austen’s nineteenth century writing and Grahame-Smith’s contemporary writing were mixed in the entrails of the novel, thus molding a hybrid work, which is a zombie as well, since it lies between the writing of a dead author and that of a living one. Thereby, by adopting the image of the zombie not only as plot element, but also as a process of writing and adaptation – through the zombification of the novel by Jane Austen –, we aim to analyze the entrails of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, based on the concept of literary mashup, the genre that gave rise to the mixture of different texts within the work by means of hybridization procedures. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a762. |

Para tanto, o mashup se baseia em procedimentos de fragmentação de uma obra clássica para nela enxertar elementos caros à cultura pop hodierna. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, de Jane Austen e Seth Grahame-Smith, foi o precursor dessa tendência, abrindo caminho para um novo filão na indústria de best-sellers produzidos segundo os mesmos procedimentos. Diante de tal contexto, o presente artigo analisa a obra Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a fim de entender, em termos de imanência, os procedimentos pelos quais, nas entranhas do romance, fundiu-se a escrita oitocentista de Austen com a contemporânea de Grahame-Smith, formando uma híbrida obra, também ela zumbi, dado que habita um entre-lugar entre a escrita de uma autora morta e de um autor vivo. Desse modo, adotando a imagem do zumbi não só como elemento acrescido ao enredo, mas como processo de escrita e adaptação – pela zumbificação do romance de Jane Austen –, objetivamos analisar as entranhas de Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, partindo do conceito de mashup literário, gênero que ensejou a mistura entre diferentes textos na obra, por meio de procedimentos de hibridização. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2017n43a762.Universidade Federal Fluminense2017-08-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3350410.22409/gragoata.v22i43.33504Gragoatá; Vol. 22 No. 43 (2017): Founding Texts and their Literary and Cultural Productivity; 911-934Gragoatá; v. 22 n. 43 (2017): Textos Fundadores e sua Produtividade Literária e Cultural; 911-9342358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v22i43reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33504/19491Copyright (c) 2017 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Jesus, Ivoneide Soares dos SantosPereira, Vinicius Carvalho2019-08-23T11:10:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33504Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:10:42Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
