Adaptation, awards culture, and the value of prestige / Edited by Colleen Kennedy-Karpat and Eric Sandberg Cham, Switzerland: Springer International Publishing, 2017.

Mankiewicz, 1950) ; GREAT GATSBY, THE (US/AT, Baz Luhrmann, 2013) ; MUSIC IN FILMS ; WOLF HALL [TV] (UK, 2015) Summary: This book explores the intersection between adaptation studies and what James F. English has called the “economy of prestige,” which includes formal prize culture as well as less tangible expressions such as canon formation, fandom, authorship, and performance. The chapters explore how prestige can affect many facets of the adaptation process, including selection, approach, and reception. The first section of this volume deals directly with cycles of influence involving prizes such as the Pulitzer, the Man Booker, and other major awards. The second section focuses on the juncture where adaptation, the canon, and awards culture meet, while the third considers alternative modes of locating and expressing prestige through adapted and adaptive intertexts. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of adaptation, cultural sociology, film, and literature. -- [taken from publishers site]Notes: Includes indexISBN: 9783319528533Contents: 1.Adaptation and Systems of Cultural Value / Eric Sandberg -- 2.The Pulitzers Go to Hollywood / Thomas Leitch -- 3.Beware of Imitations: All about Eve (1950) / Laurence Raw -- 4.Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall(s) and the Circulation of Cultural Prestige / Eric Sandberg -- 5.Adapting Queerness, Queering Adaptation: Fun Home on Broadway / Joanna Mansbridge -- 6.Oliver's Auteurs: The Cases of Lean and Polanski / Jeffrey E.

Beginning with the history of Shakespeare on film, from Olivier's and Branagh's Hamlet, contributors examine screen versions of literary classics, from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women to Thomas Keneally's Schindler's Ark and Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting. Adaptations goes on to consider adaptation in reverse: How writers like Virginia Woolf incorporated cinematic elements into their work, and explains why there had to be a novel of Jane Campion's The Piano. Contributors examine adaptations from comics to film, such as the Batman movies, Star Trek's incarnations as a long-running tv series, and then as a sequence of movies, and 101 Dalmations' [sic] move from children's novel to cartoon to live-action film." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 226-238) and indexISBN: 041516737X (hbk); 0415167388 (pbk); 041516737X (hardcover : alk. paper); 0415167388 (pbk : alk. paper)LON: 14255526Contents: Part 1: an overview -- Adaptations: the contemporary dilemmas / Imelda Whelehan; Part 2: from text to screen -- Introduction / Deborah Cartmell -- The Shakespeare on screen industry / Deborah Cartmell -- Conservative Austen, radical Austen: Sense and Sensibility from text to screen / Julian North -- From Emma to Clueless: taste, pleasure and the scene of history / Esther Sonnet -- Imagining the puritan body: the 1995 cinematic version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter / Roger Bromley -- Four Little Women: three films and a novel / Pat Kirkham and Sarah Warren -- Will Hollywood never learn?

Why do so many of the films described as adaptations seem to derive from canonical literature rather than from other sources? How do the different media affect the ways stories are told? Film Adaptation offers fresh approaches to the art, theory, and cultural politics of movie adaptations, even challenging what is meant by the term "adaptation" itself. Contributors examine the process of adaptation in both theory and practice, discussing a wide variety of films. James Naremore's introduction provides an accessible historical overview of the field and reveals the importance of adaptation study to the many different academic disciplines now attracted to the analysis of film as commodity, document, and cultural artifact." -- BOOK BLURB

This volume identifies and investigates a far wider array of problems posed by the process of adaptation.
Thomas Leitch considers how the creators of short silent films attempted to give them the weight of literature, what sorts of fidelity are possible in an adaptation of sacred scripture, what it means for an adaptation to pose as an introduction to, rather than a transcription of, a literary classic, and why and how some films have sought impossibly close fidelity to their sources. Leitch's analysis moves beyond literary sources to consider why a small number of adaptors have risen to the status of auteurs and how illustrated books, comic strips, video games, and true stories have been adaptated to the screen." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references (p.

But 'heritage cinema' is all too often discussed from literary (not cinematic) perspectives, and criticism of the films has long been overshadowed by the question of a film's fidelity to the original text. This volume of essays, reviews, and interviews seeks to redress this imbalance, by examining the often antagonistic relationship between literature and film - presenting both sides of the argument about whether heritage cinema's elaborate aesthetics owe more to nostalgia than to historical accuracy. In her challenging introduction to the volume, Ginette Vincendeau sketches the terms of the debate, arguing that the genre is an important, but often critically neglected, form of popular cinema. Film/Literature/Heritage, the latest in a series of 'Sight and Sound Readers', embraces a wide range of literary adaptation, from William Shakespeare to William Burroughs, covering films from Orlando to LA Confidential, and directors from Martin Scorcese to Peter Greenaway." - BOOK BLURBISBN: 0851708420; 0851708412(pbk.) : ¦13.99LON: 22285912

DICKENS, CHARLES ; ADAPTATIONS. SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM ; LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA ; POETRY AND THE CINEMA ; AGEE, JAMES ; EISENSTEIN, SERGEI M. ; FELLINI, FEDERICO ; GRIFFITH, DAVID WARK Summary: "Beginning with the simple but possibly crucial observation that, in general, literature and film are storytelling arts, Mr. Richardson presents a lucid and straightforward analysis arguing that film and literature are not the entirely different, antithetical disciplines that they are widely held to be. He shows clearly the relationship of film to literature, outlining differences as well as similarities, and common goals as well as divergent aims appropriate to the two arts, demonstrating how each form and its associated criticism is frequently able to illuminate and enliven the other. A film's consciousness sharpens the reader's alertness to the visual and aural qualities that mark much great writing, and literary training, in turn, adds depth and perspective to appreciation of film. Mr. Richardson goes on to present some of the literary influences, such as the writings Dickens and Flaubert, that have significantly affected film since the era of D.W. Griffith, and he discusses film's major influences on modern literature. The author concludes with an extended exploration of the relationship of film to poetry, suggesting that while the two forms have been concerned with similar thematic material and make use of similar techniques, film has dealt more significantly with the question of how to find a humane, noncoercive order in life.Notes: Bibliography: p. 133-142ISBN: 0253148456LON: 72085098; 589352

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM ; APOCALYPSE NOW (US, Francis Ford Coppola, 1979) ; MOBY DICK (UK, John Huston, 1956) ; WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET (US, Baz Luhrmann, 1996) ; HOUSE OF MIRTH, THE (UK, Terence Davies, 2000) ; BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (US, Francis Ford Coppola, 1992) ; VERTIGO (US, Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) ; MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, THE (US, John Frankenheimer, 1962) ; MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, THE (US, Jonathon Demme, 2004) ; QUIET AMERICAN, THE (US, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1957) ; RIDE WITH THE DEVIL (US, Ang Lee, 1999) Summary: From examinations of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, The Literature Film Reader: Issues of Adaptation covers a wide range of films adapted from other sources. The first section presents essays on the hows and whys of adaptation studies, and subsequent sections highlight films adapted from a variety of sources, including classic and popular literature, drama, biography, and memoir. The last section offers a new departure for adaptation studies, suggesting that films about history—often a separate category of film study—can be seen as adaptations of records of the past. The anthology concludes with speculations about the future of adaptation studies.
Several essays provide detailed analyses of films, in some cases discussing more than one adaptation of a literary or dramatic source, such as The Manchurian Candidate, The Quiet American, and Romeo and Juliet. Other works examined include Moby Dick, The House of Mirth, Dracula, and Starship Troopers, demonstrating the breadth of material considered for this anthology.
Although many of the essays appeared in Literature/Film Quarterly, more than half are original contributions. Chosen for their readability, these essays avoid theoretical jargon as much as possible. For this reason alone, this collection should be of interest to not only cinema scholars but to anyone interested in films and their source material. Ultimately, The Literature Film Reader: Issues of Adaptation provides an excellent overview of this critical aspect of film studies.Notes: Includes index and bibliographic referencesISBN: 9780810859494Contents: Introduction: Issues of screen adaptation : what is truth? / James M.

Screening Shakespeare in the twenty-first century / edited by Mark Thornton Burnett and Ramona Wray Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2006.
Call No: 753SHA SCRAuthor: Burnett, Mark Thornton ; Wray, Ramona Edition: 1st ed.Source: UKPlace: EdinburghPublisher: Edinburgh University PressPubDate: 2006PhysDes: iv, 218 p. ; 24 cmSubject: DRAMAS ; ADAPTATIONS ; LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA ; ADAPTATIONS. SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM ; Shakespeare, William Summary: This bold new collection offers an innovative discussion of Shakespeare on screen after the millenium. Cutting-edge and fully up-to-date, it surveys the rich field of Bardic film representations, from Michael Almereyda's Hamlet to the BBC 'Shakespe(Re)-Told' season, from Michael Radford's The Merchant of Venice to Peter Babakitis' Henry V. In addition to offering in-depth analyses of all the major productions, Screening Shakespeare in the Twenty-first Century includes reflections upon the less well-known filmic 'Shakespeares', which encompass cinema advertisements, appropriations, post-colonial reinventions and mass media citations, and which move across and between genres and mediums.
Arguing that Shakespeare is a magnet for negotiations about style, value and literary authority, the essays contend that screen reinterpretations of England's most famous dramatist simultaneously address concerns centred upon nationality and ethnicity, gender and romance, and 'McDonaldisation' and the political process, thereby constituting an important intervention in the debates of the new century. As a result, through consideration of such offerings as the derry Film Initiative Hamlet, the New Zealand The Maori Merchant of Venice and the television documentary In Search of Shakespeare, this collection isa able to assess as never before the continuing relevance of Shakepseare in his local and global screen incarnations. -BOOK JACKETNotes: "Early versions of some of these chapters were given as papers at the Newcastle-upon-Tyne meeting of the British Shakespeare Association" -- Acknowledgements; Includes index; Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 0748623515Donation: Donated by Senses Of Cinema, 2009Contents: 'If I'm right' : Michael Wood's In search of Shakespeare / Richard Dutton -- 'I see my father' in 'my mind's eye' : surveillance and the filmic Hamlet / Mark Thornton Burnett -- Backstage pass(ing) : Stage beauty, Othello and the make-up of race / Richard Burt -- The postnostalgic Renaissance : the 'place' of Liverpool in Don Boyd's My kingdom / Courtney Lehmann -- Our Shakespeares : British television and the strains of multiculturalism / Susanne Greenhalgh, Robert Shaughnessy -- Looking for Shylock : Stephen Greenblatt, Michael Radford and Al Pacino / Samuel Crowl -- Speaking Ma¯ori Shakespeare : The Maori merchant of Venice and the legacy of colonisation / Catherine Silverstone -- 'Into a thousand parts divide one man' : dehumanised metafiction and fragmented documentary in Peter Babakitis' Henry V / Sarah Hatchuel -- Screening the McShakespeare in post-millennial Shakespeare cinema / Carolyn Jess-Cooke -- Shakespeare and the singletons, or, Beatrice meets Bridget Jones : post-feminism, popular culture and 'Shakespea(re)-told' / Ramona Wray.

SHAKESPEARE, WILLIAM ; POLITICS IN FILMS Summary: Shakespeare and the English-speaking Cinema is a lively, authoritative, and innovative overview of the ways in which Shakespeare's plays have been adapted for cinema. Organised by topics rather than chronology, it offers detailed commentary on significant films, including both 'mainstream' and 'canonical' works by such directors as Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Franco Zeffirelli, and Kenneth Branagh, and such ground-breaking movies as Derek Jarman's The Tempest, Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books.

Focusing in the main on West Side story, Franco Zeffirellis' 1968 'flower child' version, and Baz Luhrmann's iconic film, this book offers unique insight into the adaptation process by tracing the ways in which the play's complex textual origins have led filmmakers to approach it from often unexpected angles, ranging from parodies to tragedies of genocidal proportions, as Shakespeare in Love and Deepa Mehta's controversial 2005 film Water, retrospectively demonstrate. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the production and reception of screen adaptations of Romeo and Juliet across time, place, culture, and medium, this book is an indispensible companion for students, film historians, and curious admirers of the world's greatest love story.
