| Abstract | “WHAT DOES A SCANNER SEE?” PHILIP K. DICK’S AND RICHARD LINKLATER’S TAKE ON IDENTITY AND IDENTITY CRISIS JULIANA BITTENCOURT BARBER UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE SANTA CATARINA 2012 Supervising Professor: Anelise Reich Corseuil Co-Advisor: Daniel Serravalle de Sá This research presents a comparative analysis between Philip K. Dick’s 1977 novel A Scanner Darkly and Richard Linklater’s 2006 homonymous film adaptation of it. The focus of this analysis is the theme of postmodern identity, having as a theoretical framework the issues about identity and postmodernism problematized by theorists such a Fredric Jameson and Stuart Hall. This analysis shows how the issue of postmodern identity is ubiquitous both in Dick’s novel and in Linklater’s film. In order to analyze the issue of adaptation, the ideas of scholars such as Dudley Andrew and Robert Stam, as well as film theorist André Bazin were used. The differences between a novel and a film that narrate the same story are unavoidable. However, what is possible to see in the case of A Scanner Darkly is that the treatment and the emphasis given to the issue of postmodern identity in both works is equivalent. In order to do so, the film takes advantage of the specificities of its medium to represent elements that, due to each medium’s nature, cannot be transposed into a film.
