Abstract
In this paper, we aim at analyzing the representation of medialities (in terms of medial possibilities and restrictions) in Jorge Furtado’s novel Trabalhos de amor perdidos. In this literary narrative, the intermedial references to theater, illustrated novel, radio program and website are especially significant, for they portray the characters’ choices on how to work with these media’s communicative potentialities and obstacles when developing adaptation projects of Shakespeare and his body of work. We also discuss the relationship between intertextuality and intermediality, so as to illustrate the devouring character of Furtado’s parody.
