The Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie wrote for the first time about Peter Pan in a book called The Little White Bird, in 1902. In 1904, the writer enlarged the character s universe making, this time, a stage play called Peter Pan or The Boy that Wouldn t Grow up; however, the romance as we know it would only be constructed in 1911, when Barrie decided to rewrite and extend his original play. That is how one of the best well known classics of children s literature was born: Peter Pan and Wendy, a book that, today, is part of many people s childhood and life; the story has even created a myth: the myth of the boy who never grows up, the myth of the eternal and adventurous youth. This way, the romance gave origin to many post-texts, gaining numbers of adaptations since it was first published. By making analysis based on Mikhail Bakhtin s dialogism theory, on Julia Kristeva s intertextuality theory and on Gerard Genette transtextuality theory, the present essay intends to study three different readings and/or adaptations of the base-text Peter Pan and Wendy, in order to verify how the historical/cultural context modifies, increases or contradicts this 1911 version.The texts chosen for the proposed analysis are: Peter Pan, by Monteiro Lobato (1930); Peter Pan the animation from Walt Disney Pictures (1950); and Peter Pan the movie, from the Australian director P. J. Hogan (2003).
