This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of the cultural phenomenon of the multiplication, in countless versions, of determined classic texts, which are constantly adapted by audiovisual products. These multiple audiovisual versions establish broader and more complex intertextual relations with the source text than a simple linear dialogue since their references and citations network could include not only the literary text but also the previous adapted products, in a spiraled logic. Through the selection of three authors, whose works are frequently adapted: Jane Austen, Louisa May Alcott and Virginia Woolf, we propose to verify how audiovisual versions, through intertextual and intermedia relations with classic works of literature, play a significant role in the spiraled articulation of the cultural memory of these texts in contemporary times, keeping them circulating in a convergence culture. To re-adapt them in diverse historical, political and mediatic contexts, produces opportunities of re-encountering widely recognized narratives, by both public and audiovisual industry allowing for dialogues between source text, multiple versions, and their specific context of production. To re-encounter articulates the classical text s cultural memory to a new circumstance of audiovisual reception, resulting in cumulative and continually sustained referential universe.
