Necropolitics, Intersemiotic translation, Comparative literatureAbstract
This article analyses the transposition from literature to film of Joseph Conrad´s” Heart of Darkness” using as a tool Achille Mbembe´s notion of necropolitics, contrasting it with the the Post-Colonial theory. Hence, a critical reading of the theory´s main topics is initially made, followed by an analysis of the literary work, taking into accout notions of necropolitics. It is also understood that the process used for such transposition is that of intersemiotic translation and, thus, to provide theoretical support for the analysis made here, the reading was focused on this term based on Roman Jakobson and Julio Plaza´s understandings.
