INTERSEMIOTIC TRANSLATION. THEORIES AND APPROACHES FOR ITS STUDY IN LITERATURE AND CINEMA

Abstract

This article reviews the notion of intersemiotic translation since it was stablished by Jakobson in 1959, and uses it in the field of semiotic, literary, and cinematographic analysis. First, the article will approach and clarify the theoretical aspects of the concept, together with its scope, limitations, and derivations, and will address alternative proposals, paying special attention to Eco, Lotman, and Sonesson. Secondly, the article will apply the theory to the study of intersemiotic translation, outlining the analysis models that derives from glossematics, the chronotope, the idea of semiosphere, and Multimodal Analysis of Discourse.
