This book gathers together essays written by leading scholars of
adaptation studies to explore the full range of practices and
issues currently of concern in the field. The chapters
demonstrate how content and messaging are shared across an
increasing number of platforms, whose interrelationships have
become as intriguing as they are complex. Recognizing that a
signature feature of contemporary culture is the convergence of
different forms of media, the contributors of this book argue
that adaptation studies has emerged as a key discipline that,
unlike traditional literary and art criticism, is capable of
identifying and analyzing the relations between source texts and
adaptations created from them. Adaptation scholars have come to
understand that these relations not only play out in individual
case histories but are also institutional, and this collection
shows how adaptation plays a key role in the functioning of
cinema, television, art, and print media. The volume is essential
reading for all those interested both in adaptation studies and
also in the complex forms of intermediality that define
contemporary culture in the 21st century.
