SUMMARY:

This research aims to analyze the writing of the novel The Hours (1998) by American writer Michael Cunningham and its homonym film adaptation (2002) directed by Stephen Daldry, showing how these productions introduced the writer Virginia Woolf to a contemporary audience. In this study, we examined how Cunningham's novel used the narrative technique of the stream of consciousness, previously used by Virginia Woolf, in the novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925), configuring a tripartition in its plot and among the protagonists, and how this narrative technique was adapted using narrative devices characteristic of the film code to carry out this transposition. To understand the stream of consciousness and the formal element of the point of view, we considered the studies by Humphrey (1976) and Friedman (1995). The first enables an understanding of the format of the technique that underpins the objects of study in this research, and the latter elucidates the distinct modes of the narrator and their perspectives. By using the concepts of palimpsest, rereading, and rewriting to address the relationship between adaptations and Woolf's novel, the postulates of Nitrini (2010), Lefevere (1992), and Genette (2006) contributed to mapping what can be read from Woolf in contemporary novels and films, establishing an intertextual relationship among them. In relation to theories of adaptation, the studies by Hutcheon (2006), Stam (2005), Mcfarlane (1996) and Andrew (2000) helped us to understand the nature of an adaptations, which, according to Hutcheon (2006), is also a palimpsest but one operated in the relationship between different media. The analysis of the stream of consciousness technique through Cunningham's rewriting and Daldry's adaptation has allowed us to understand how Virginia Woolf was introduced to the contemporary audience and how those texts used distinct narrative devices in their own writing.
