Abstract

Space, inside literature, can be very important in creating not only “where” the story happens, but also elements to build up other categories inside the fictional work, as, for example, characters. This paper, part of an on-going research, intends to analyze the representation of space in three different medias: literature, with the novel Do androids dream of electric sheep?, by Philip K. Dick; comic books, with Do androids dream of electric sheep?, by Tony Parker; and film, with the movie Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott. Furthermore, it aims no perceive how the space and visual elements construct meaning inside the works analyzed.
