Portuguese Literature, Narrative and Semiotic Construction From Literary Origin to the Process of Adaptation of Narrative in Cinema A Bridge Between Portuguese Literature and Universal Literature

In Portuguese Literature we know several examples of novels that have been adapted to the cinema, from different authors such as Cardoso Pires, Vergílio Ferreira or Jorge de Sena, which show, as a process, the difficulties of the journey established from the narrative and the original semiotic construction. until the semiotic reconstruction and the new film narrative. These changes, often associated with the old concept of fidelity to the novel, characterize Portuguese Literature, like Universal Literature, since the beginning of the history of cinema that saw in literature a source of narratives and themes that, even today, remains the main source for world cinematography. In this complex process between the literary narrative and the film narrative, of course, participate the intentions of the director and the birth of a new work of art, the film, which must be seen as an independent art form, although we cannot forget the links that you have to the original text.
