Description
Adaptation and Appropriation by Julie Sanders explores how texts are connected to existing art forms. This new edition examines multiple definitions and practices of adaptation and appropriation, revealing the cultural and aesthetic politics behind this impulse. The book considers the impact of digital technologies on ideas of originality and customization, as well as diverse ways in which contemporary literature, theatre, television, and film adapt, revise, and reimagine other works. It also explores how theoretical movements such as structuralism, post-structuralism, postcolonialism, postmodernism, feminism, and gender studies shape our understanding of adaptation and appropriation. By ranging across genres and drawing on concepts from diverse fields, this volume offers clarity to complex debates around adaptation and appropriation, making it a valuable resource for those studying literature, film, media, or culture.
