Resumo(s)
Esta dissertação tem como objectivo analisar os diferentes modos em
que o arquétipo do vampirismo se tem modificado das normas
convencionais e como prevaleceu. Tem por objectivo analisar como os
vampiros foram inicialmente descritos e como Bram Stoker incorpora este
arquétipo vampiresco na sua obra Dracula, reconhecendo o propósito que
esta descrição servia no final do século XIX.
Esta dissertação tem também como objectivo não só revelar a
investigação da obra Dracula de Bram Stoker, mas também o modo como
o neovitorianismo e o steampunk abordaram o vampirismo. Tem como
intenção examinar como o livro Johnny Alucard de Kim Newman desafia
o arquétipo do vampiro e o transforma num ‘steampunk vamp’.
Em suma, a finalidade é examinar como as adaptações
contemporâneas não só modificaram o arquétipo do vampiro como
também revelaram a ansiedade escondida e a subversão do convencional
cânone literário do vampiro.
This dissertation intends to analyze the different ways in which the archetype of vampirism has altered from conventional norms, and how it has endured. It aims to evaluate how vampires were initially portrayed, and how Bram Stoker incorporates this vampire archetype into his novel Dracula, acknowledging the purpose that this depiction served at the end the nineteenth century. This dissertation also aims to introduce what the investigation of Bram Stoker's Dracula reveals, and how neo-Victorianism and steampunk have addressed vampirism. It hopes to examine how Kim Newman's novel Johnny Alucard challenges the vampire archetype and morphs it into a ‘steampunk vamp’. In sum, the intention is to examine how contemporary adaptations have not only modified the vampire archetype, but also unveiled the hidden anxieties and subversions from the conventional literary canon of the vampire.
