ADAPTATION IN VISUAL CULTURE GEBUNDEN

This book gathers together essays written by leading scholars of adaptation studies to explore
the full range of practices and issues currently of concern in the field. The chapters
demonstrate how content and messaging are shared across an increasing number of platforms 
whose interrelationships have become as intriguing as they are complex. Recognizing that a
signature feature of contemporary culture is the convergence of different forms of media  the
contributors of this book argue that adaptation studies has emerged as a key discipline that 
unlike traditional literary and art criticism  is capable of identifying and analyzing the
relations between source texts and adaptations created from them. Adaptation scholars have come
to understand that these relations not only play out in individual case histories but are also
institutional  and this collection shows how adaptation plays a key role in the functioning of
cinema  television  art  and print media. The volume is essential reading for all those
interested both in adaptation studies and also in the complex forms of intermediality that
define contemporary culture in the 21st century.
