LITCI2106 Adaptations: Literature and Screen
This course uses literary, film, and other media texts to examine the forms and relationships of stories that are presented in more than one medium. Literary texts and film adaptations comprise the primary focus of study. Topics in the course include key concepts and terminology relating to adaptation; adaptation¿s relationship to the literary and film canons; the capacity for film adaptations to be read autonomously of their print sources; the intersection of adaptation with popular culture; and the cultural and historical contexts of literary texts and their adaptations. Textual examples to be examined include a prominent film adapted from less prominent works; diverse film adaptations of Shakespeare; cross-cultural adaptation; reflexivity in adaptation; and adaptation in a global context.
