Partindo de uma leitura e análise de Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland (1865) e Alice Through The Looking Glass (1871) de Lewis Carroll, a presente tese explora detalhadamente três videojogos – American McGee’s Alice (2000), Alice: Madness Returns (2011) e Fran Bow (2015) – que se constituem como adaptações destas obras literárias, tendo como principal objectivo demonstrar como a criança protagonista de todos estes objectos de estudo é transgressiva, com as adaptações aos jogos digitais a favorecerem esta vertente e a expandirem a agência e capacidade subversiva de Alice. Para efectuar esta análise, é tomado em consideração o panorama sociocultural e literário britânico no século XIX, em concreto, no período que se convencionou denominar por Era Vitoriana. São exploradas, essencialmente, transgressões às concepções de infância e de género que imperavam neste contexto temporal e espacial. Esta investigação encontra-se alicerçada nas áreas dos Estudos Literários e de Cultura, articulando-se, contudo, com metodologias e molduras teóricas desenvolvidas no seio dos Estudos sobre Videojogos, Estudos de Adaptação, e Estudos Vitorianos e Neovitorianos. Contribui, assim, para o desenvolvimento destas áreas de estudo, bem como para a promoção da consideração do videojogo como objecto de estudo académico.
Starting from a close reading and analysis of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland (1865) and Alice Through The Looking Glass (1871), this thesis explores in detail three video games – American McGee's Alice (2000), Alice: Madness Returns (2011) and Fran Bow (2015) – which are adaptations of these literary works, and aims to demonstrate how the child protagonist of all these objects of study is transgressive, with the video game adaptations favouring this aspect and expanding Alice’s agency and subversiveness. In order to carry out this analysis, it is taken into consideration the British sociocultural and literary panorama in the 19th century, specifically in the period known as the Victorian Era. Transgressions to conceptions of childhood and gender roles that prevailed in this time period are especially taken into account. This research is grounded in the fields of Literary and Cultural Studies, and also draws on methodologies and theoretical frameworks developed within Game Studies, Adaptation Studies, and Victorian and Neo-Victorian Studies. Not only does it contribute to the development of these areas of study, but it also promotes the consideration of the video game as an object of academic research.
