This book provides a pioneering and provocative exploration of the
rich synergies between adaptation studies and translation studies
and is the first genuine attempt to discuss the rather loose usage
of the concepts of translation and adaptation in terms of theatre
and film. At the heart of this collection is the proposition that
translation studies and adaptation studies have much to offer each
other in practical and theoretical terms and can no longer exist
independently from one another. As a result, it generates
productive ideas within the contact zone between these two fields
of study, both through new theoretical paradigms and detailed case
studies. Such closely intertwined areas as translation and
adaptation need to encounter each other's methodologies and
perspectives in order to develop ever more rigorous approaches to
the study of adaptation and translation phenomena, challenging
current assumptions and prejudices in terms of both. The book
includes contributions as diverse yet interrelated as Bakhtin's
notion of translation and adaptation, Bollywood adaptations of
Shakespeare's Othello, and an analysis of performance practice,
itself arguably an adaptive practice, which uses a variety of
languages from English and Greek to British and International
Sign-Language. As translation and adaptation practices are an
integral part of global cultural and political activities and
agendas, it is ever more important to study such occurrences of
rewriting and reshaping. By exploring and investigating
interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives and approaches,
this volume investigates the impact such occurrences of rewriting
have on the constructions and experiences of cultures while at the
same time developing a rigorous methodological framework which will
form the basis of future scholarship on performance and film,
translation and adaptation.
