RESUMO:

This research focuses on analyzing the novel Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995) by José Saramago and its cinematic adaptation Blindness (2008) by Fernando Meirelles, contextualized within the coronavirus pandemic. By examining these works, the study aims to highlight the existential aspects that arise in turbulent moments, which awaken in people an awareness of life's finitude. The central premise of this investigation is that the experiences narrated in literary and cinematic works about pandemics express different ways of perceiving the severity of these tragic events, which are periodically experienced by humanity. The general objective is to conduct a study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through the novel Ensaio sobre a cegueira (1995) and its adaptation Blindness (2008), focusing on existential aspects of the narrative: death, confinement, and the dehumanization of the subject. A detailed comparative analysis of the two works will be carried out through bibliographic research, consisting of previously published materials, such as books, articles, and other print sources, as well as electronic documents from databases such as SciELO, CAPES Journals, and Google Scholar. These will be examined through the interpretive method, in line with the proposed objectives and work plan. Regarding the theoretical framework, essential works will be referenced, such as Teoria estética (1970), de Theodor Adorno, Estética da criação verbal (1988), de Mikhail Bakhtin, Literatura e sociedade (2000), de Antonio Candido, Da literatura comparada à teoria da literatura (2001), de Álvaro Manuel Machado, A linguagem cinematográfica (2005), de Marcel Martin, A semiótica visual (2004), de Antonio Vicente Pietroforte, along with other sources that may be consulted during the investigation.
