FILM/LITERATURE ADAPTATION
Proposals for either papers or panels are especially welcome in the area of recent conceptualizations of adaptation. The recent work of Robert Stam, Linda Hutcheon, Kamilla Elliot, and others has dramatically urged a rethinking of the nature of adaptation, its inevitability in culture, the multiplicity of its productions, its range of social and formal implications, as well as the variety of texts engaged by its transactions.
Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
New models of adaptation/appropriation/imitation/translation
Adapting texts and intertexts
Canonicity and adaptation
Novel and short story to film
Drama to film
Film to film adaptations
Adaptations based on television
Biography and autobiography adaptations
Adaptations of history
Adaptation superstars (Jane Austen, Frank Miller…) Fellowship of the Ring adaptations Graphic novels/comics/video games to film Intermedia adaptations
Inquiries regarding this area and/or abstracts of 250 words may be sent to Bob Self at the email or physical address below.

Submission deadline is April 30, 2009
