Abstract

This study examines how Marjane Satrapi, in her dual role as a graphic novelist and film director, negotiated narrative authority during the adaptation of Persepolis from a graphic novel into an animated film (2007). Using Linda Hutcheon’s theory of adaptation, auteur theory, and the concept of narrative authority as an analytical framework, this study employs a descriptive qualitative design with content analysis and thematic analysis techniques to examine data consisting of scenes, dialogue, characterization, and visual style in both versions of the work. The findings identify five main categories of narrative authority negotiation: (1) the preservation of first-person narration, (2) the selection and omission of events, (3) the rearrangement of chronology, (4) characterization, and (5) visual style and authorial presence. The findings indicate that Satrapi’s direct involvement as both writer and director enabled her to preserve the autobiographical, ideological, and emotional essence of the original work, even though certain narrative elements underwent condensation, reorganization, and visual reinterpretation to conform to cinematic conventions. This study affirms that adaptation is not merely a reproduction of the source text, but rather a creative process of reinterpretation that allows narrative authority to be preserved even when the medium changes.
