Intercultural Screen Adaptation: British and Global Case Studies


Add your own review!

Overview

Intercultural Screen Adaptation offers a wide-ranging examination of how film and television adaptations (and non-adaptations) interact with the cultural, social and political environments of their national, transnational and post-national contexts. With screen adaptations examined from across Britain, Europe, South America and Asia, this book tests how examining the processes of adaptation across and within national frameworks challenges traditional debates around the concept of nation in film, media and cultural studies. With case studies of films such as Under the Skin (2013) and T2: Trainspotting (2017), as well as TV adaptations like War and Peace (2016) and Narcos (2015 - 2017), Intercultural Screen Adaptation offers readers an invigorating look at adaptations from a variety of critical perspectives, incorporating the uses of landscape, nostalgia and translation.

Reviews

"[...] an exciting new contribution to the discourse of adaptation studies, bringing together scholars from many different geographical locations to examine the process and product of adaptation (Hutcheon) at the junctures of culture, history, and national identity.--Claire McCarthy, University of Tasmania ""Adaptation"" The global reach of this collection is insightful and informative. Viewing adaptation as ""encounter, journey, method"" in the context of international film-making enables us to explore important and pressing questions of global flow and complex (trans)national identities.--Professor Julie Sanders, Newcastle University"
