The twenty-first-century's turn away from fidelity-based
adaptations toward more innovative approaches has allowed adapters
from Spain, Argentina, and the United States to draw upon Spain's
rich body of nineteenth-century classics to address contemporary
concerns about gender, sexuality, race, class, disability,
celebrity, immigration, identity, social justice, and domestic
violence. This book provides a snapshot of visual adaptations in
the first two decades of the new millennium, examining how
novelistic material from the past has been remediated for today's
viewers through film, television, theater, opera, and the graphic
novel. Its theoretical approach refines the binary view of adapters
as either honoring or opposing their source texts by positing three
types of adaptation strategies: salvaging (which preserves old
stories by giving them renewed life for modern audiences),
utilizing (which draws upon a pre-existing text for an alternative
purpose, building upon the story and creating a shift in emphasis
without devaluing the source material), and appropriation (which
involves a critique of the source text, often with an attempt to
dismantle its authority). Special attention is given to how
adapters address audiences that are familiar with the source
novels, and those that are not. This examination of the vibrant
afterlife of classic literature will be of interest to scholars and
educators in the fields of adaptation, media, Spanish literature,
cultural studies, performance, and the graphic arts.
