This volume brings together perspectives from multimodal stylistics
and adaptation studies for a unified theoretical analysis of
adaptations of the work of Alice Munro, demonstrating the
affordances of the approach in furthering interdisciplinary
research at the intersection of these fields The book considers
films and television programmes as complex multimodal stylistic
systems in and of themselves in order to pave the way for a clearer
understanding of screen adaptations as expressions of modal,
medial, and aesthetic change. In focusing on Munro, Francesconi
draws attention to a writer whose body of work has been adapted
widely across television and film for an international market over
several decades, offering a diachronic overview and insights into
the confluence of socio-cultural contexts, audiences, and dynamics
of production and distribution across adaptations. The volume
complements this perspective with a microanalysis of the
adaptations themselves, exploring the varied creative use of
audio-visual dimensions, including sound, light, and movement. The
book seeks to overcome simplified fidelity-based understandings of
screen adaptations more broadly, showcasing creative multi-layered
approaches to a creator's oeuvre to effect true transformation
across media and modes. The volume will be of interest to scholars
in multimodality, adaptation studies, film studies, and comparative
literature.
