_Lit: Literature Interpretation Theory_ is currently
soliciting submissions for an upcoming special issue
on:
Film Adaptation
John Glavin and Steve Wurtzler, Guest Editors
We seek essays that address film adaptations of
literary works from a number of perspectives including
theory, economics, history, and ideology. Case studies
of individual works of adaptation are welcomed so long
as they directly engage larger contextual concerns.
For the purpose of this issue, the editors are broadly
defining film to include a variety of audio-visual
media including theatrical motion pictures, films
distributed on cable channels, television programs and
series, CD-Rom and other emergent media. While the
editors are not seeking evaluative essays that judge
film adaptations in light of their original sources,
they are seeking theoretically engaged essays that
explore the circulation of texts across two or more
media forms.
Deadline for submissions: June 1, 2001
Lit: Literature Interpretation Theory publishes
critical essays which interpret texts from an
engaging, coherent theoretical perspective. Because
Lit addresses a general literate audience, we
encourage essays unburdened by excessive theoretical
jargon. We do not restrict ourselves to specific
periods, genres, or critical paradigms. Submissions
range from 5000 to 10,000 words and must use MLA
citation style. Please send essays in triplicate (if
outside the U.S or Canada, one copy will do), along
with a 100 word abstract, to Regina Barreca, Editor,
Lit: Literature Interpretation Theory, Department of
English, 337 Mansfield Road, U-25, University of
Connecticut, Storrs, CT, 06269-1025, U.S.A. Look for
our new website at www.sp.uconn.edu/~litjourn.
Lit: Literature Interpretation Theory
