>From Text to Film and Back: Rethinking Adaptation
Although literature would seem to have obvious connections to film, =
literary adaptation is an area of inquiry that remains remarkably =
under-theorised. Attempts to theorise film adaptation often address the =
problematic in terms of deviance or fidelity, and thereby implicitly or =
explicitly privileged the text over its filmed version. The goal of this =
session on film adaptations of literary works is to look beyond film in =
terms of judgements on perceptual correctness or the hackneyed =
categories of transposition, commentary and analogy. We welcome papers =
that address adaptation in innovative ways and challenge classic =
approaches to the filmed text. Topics may include but are not limited to =
self-conscious adaptations, films that thematise the practice of =
adaptation, and papers that consider the possibility that the concept of =
influence works between texts and film in more than one direction.=20
