Classical Memories is an intervention into the field of adaptation
studies, taking the example of classical reception to show that
adaptation is a process that can be driven by and produce
intertextual memories. I see 'classical memories' as a
memory-driven type of adaptation that draws on and reproduces
schematic and otherwise de-contextualised conceptions of antiquity
and its cultural 'exports' in, broadly speaking, the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. These memory-driven adaptations differ,
often in significant ways, from more traditional adaptations that
seek to either continue or deconstruct a long-running tradition
that can be traced back to antiquity as well as its canonical
points of reception in later ages. When investigating such a
popular and widespread set of narratives, characters, and images
like those that remain of Graeco-Roman antiquity, terms like
'adaptation' and 'reception' could and should be nuanced further to
allow us to understand the complex interactions between modern
works and classical antiquity in more detail, particularly when it
pertains to postcolonial or post-digital classical reception. In
Classical Memories, I propose that understanding certain types of
adaptations as intertextual memories allows us to do just that.
