Tiny Tim sul grande schermo. La rappresentazione della disabilità in tre adattamenti di A Christmas Carol del secondo dopoguerra
Mots-clés :
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, adattamento, disabilità, affect studiesRésumé
Il presente contributo intende soffermarsi sul personaggio di Tiny Tim del dickensiano A Christmas Carol per esaminare come sia stato rappresentato in tre film realizzati nel secondo dopoguerra: il britannico Scrooge (1951), lo spagnolo Leyenda de Navidad (1947) e l’italiano Non è mai troppo tardi (1953). L’analisi, condotta dalla doppia prospettiva dei disability studies (per quanto riguarda la rappresentazione dell’infermità) e degli affect studies (in riferimento all’interazione tra i soggetti o in-between-ness), contribuirà a fare luce sulla stereotipizzazione della disabilità che emerge nelle trasposizioni filmiche della novella.
