SUMMARY:

 

Narrative expansions, in the most different media support, are a trend that has tended to grow in recent decades. Such expansions can occur, in relation to the time of the narrative, in three different ways: prequels, coquels and sequels. In this research, we bring as corpus of analysis the novel Wicked (1995), prequel of the children’s narrative The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), which has as its premise the return to the past of the famous plot to tell the life of the character known as the Wicked Witch of the West. Thus, we aim to carry out a dialogical analysis of the identity (re)construction of the Wicked Witch of the West in Wicked (1995). To develop this investigation, we use as a basis the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Applied Linguistics (CAVALCANTI, 1986; CELANI, 1992; FABRÍCIO, 2006; MENEZES; SILVA; GOMES, 2022; MOITA LOPES, 1994, 2006a, 2006b, 2022; PENNYCOOK, 2006; RAJAGOPALAN, 2006; SIGNORINI, 1998) and Bakhtin Circle (BAKHTIN, 2011a, 2011b, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2017c, 2018, 2020, 2023; MEDVIÉDEV, 2019; VOLÓCHINOV, 2018, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c), as well as making use of the theoretical contributions of authors such as Bauman (2001, 2004, 2005), Hall (2014, 2020), Lipovetsky (2004) and Woodward (2014) with regard to identity studies, and researchers such as Saint-Gelais (2011, 2014) and Parey (2019), who provide contributions with regard to transfictionality and narrative expansions. In the analysis developed, it was noticed that the character Elphaba (who will become the Wicked Witch of the West) is constructed as a subject resulting from the chronotopes in which she lives and the dialogical relationships she maintains with the Other, making this subject go through a process of transformation that leads him to become the antagonist of The Wizard of Oz, thus refracting the idea that the evil in the antagonist characters os not born with them, but is a result of a continuous process of identity construction.
