Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance 15.3 is out now!
Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance 15.3 is out now!
In the present issue we have a range of articles on adaptation and translation in relation to media and theatre. In ‘William Saroyan’s The Human Comedy and MGM’s Vanished American Pastoral’ Thomas Francis Connolly explores the intricate relationship between the classic film, the screenplay and Saroyan’s 1943 novel. Kacper Kupisz and Mikolaj Deckert’s contribution entitled ‘The expanding role of text on screen: Subtitling Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Spree’, engages with audio-visual translation and media accessibility with specific reference to massive chat. Milosz Stelmach, Agata Holobut and Jan Rybicki offer a diachronic quantitative perspective on American remakes, using a sample from between 1915 and 2020. Jolanta Szymkowska-Bartyzel discusses Holden, a short film by Krzysztof Zanussi that adapts Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. Frans Weiser’s Cannibal adaptation, or the trope of monstrosity’ looks into the Latin American origins of cultural anthropophagy and the figure of the cannibal with regard to theorizing adaptation processes. In our Practitioners’ Perspectives section Tom Ue interviews the playwright William di Canzio, whose first novel, Alec (2021), adapts E. M. Forster’s Maurice.
