In New Approaches to Contemporary Adaptation, editor Betty
Kaklamanidou defiantly claims that "all films are adaptations". The
wide-ranging chapters included in this book highlight the growing
and evolving relevance of the field of adaptation studies and its
many branding subfields. Armed with a wealth of methodologies,
theoretical concepts, and sophisticated paradigms of case-studies
analyses of the past, these scholars expand the field to new and
exciting realms. With chapters on data, television, music,
visuality, and transnationalism, this anthology aims to complement
the literature of the field by asking answers to outstanding
questions while proposing new ones: Whose stories have been adapted
in the last few decades? Are films that are based on "true
stories""simply adaptations of those real events? How do
transnational adaptations differ from adaptations that target the
same national audiences as the texts they adapt? What do
long-running TV shows actually adapt when their source is a single
book or novel? To attempt to answer these questions, New Approaches
to Contemporary Adaptation is organized in three parts. Part 1,
"External Influences on Adaptation", delves into matters
surrounding film adaptations without primarily focusing on textual
analysis of the final cinematic product. Part 2, "Millennial TV and
Franchise Adaptations", demonstrates that the contemporary
television landscape has become fruitful terrain for adaptation
studies. Part 3, "ElasTEXTity and Adaptation", explores different
thematic approaches to adaptation studies and how adaptation
extends beyond traditional media. Spanning media and the globe,
contributors complement their research with tools from sociology,
psychoanalysis, gender studies, race studies, translation studies,
and political science. Kaklamanidou makes it clear that adaptation
is vital to sharing important stories and mythologies, as well as
passing knowledge to new generations. The aim of this anthology is
to open up the field of adaptation studies by revisiting the object
of analysis and proposing alternative ways of looking at it.
Scholars of cultural, gender, film, literary, and adaptation
studies will find this collection innovative and thought-provoking.
