Adaptation Studies is a fast-emerging discipline which has expanded
into other areas of media scholarship. With its roots in literature
and film, this discipline can be applied to much broader uses, even
as a process that governs every aspect of our lives. Indeed, by
expanding the scope of "adaptation" to encompass a larger
perspective, this discipline can promote lifelong learning that
emphasizes communication, social interaction, and aesthetic
engagement. In Adaptation Studies and Learning: New Frontiers,
Laurence Raw and Tony Gurr seek to redefine the ways in which
adaptation is taught and learned. Comprised of essays, reflections,
and "learning conversations" about the ways in which this approach
to adaptation might be implemented, this book focuses on issues of
curriculum construction, the role of technology, and the importance
of collaboration. Including a series of case-studies and classroom
experiences, the authors explore the relationship between
adaptation and related disciplines such as history, media, and
translation. The book also includes a series of case studies from
the world of cinema, showing how collaboration and social
interaction lies at the heart of successful film adaptations. By
looking beyond the classroom, Raw and Gurr demonstrate how
adaptation studies involves real-world issues of prime
importance-not only to film and theater professionals, but to all
learners. Covering a wide range of material, including film
history, educational theory, and literary criticism, Adaptation
Studies and Learning offers a radical repositioning of the way we
think about adaptation both inside and outside academia.
