Abstract
"Shifter é um termo empregado na literatura paranormal americana para referir à personagem que se transforma em animal. Essa literatura passou a influenciar o cinema, como visto na série Crepúsculo (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) e em A garota da capa vermelha (2011). Com base na pergunta até que ponto a condição shifter leva a uma abertura para a animalidade, a discussão fundamenta-se nos Estudos Animais e busca caracterizar a personagem shifter, bem como comparar essa personagem com a metamorfose ocorrida no filme ícone A marca da pantera, da versão de 1982" ["Shifter is a term employed in the American paranormal literature to refer to a character who transform itself in an animal. This literature influenced cinema, like it can be seen on Twilight (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) and in Red Riding Hood (2011). On the base of the question: To what extent the condition of a shifter leads to an opening to animality? The discussion here is grounded on the Animal Studies and it searches to define the shifter, in order to compare this character with the metamorphosis occurred in the iconic film Cat People, version of 1982"]
