Description

This collection of essays offers a sustained, theoretically rigorous rethinking of various issues at work in film and other media adaptations.

The essays in the volume as a whole explore the reciprocal, intertextual quality of adaptations that permeate the contemporary media experience-from books, to films, to music, to graphic novels.

The central argument in this book is that texts in various media always borrow, rework, and adapt each other in complex ways; in addition, the authors in this volume explore the specific forces (social, economic, historical, and authorial) that are at work in particular texts and intertexts.

Together, the fourteen essays emphasize that adaptations, in the intersections they create across different media, inhabit a sort of cross-fertilization that is both artistically productive and affirmative of difference.
