The qualitative judgement you all place upon original v adapted is also v weird.

I actually think it’s harder to adapt. As Robert Woodruff said in my adaption class “it’s alchemy to take a thing and reimagine it in a new dimension”.

Zone of interest took a title and one line.

Barbie has made you all lose your mind.

If we don’t know the definition of an adaptation anymore than perhaps we can’t be helped?

There are a thousand things I can point to as adaptation but the fact that the film depends on us recognizing “Stereotypical Barbie” is enough.

I am very excited to announce that the annual @adaptstudies conference takes place on 5-7 June 2024 in University of Szczecin, Poland! The topic is Time and Space in Adaptation. The CfP is live now at AAS site: https://t.co/hprfs0dCdr

Years later—and somehow now a decade ago—I published my first article, “Rematerializing Adaptation Theory” (on Hugo and Latour and stuff) in LFQ’s pages. Nice and neat to see it archived.

Last night, Salisbury (w/@ssedaozz 🧡) to celebrate @litfilmquart’s 50th

[Kyle Meikle @kylemeikle]

@ssedaozz @litfilmquart I fell for LFQ as an undergrad after taking a class (and eventually writing a thesis) on literary adaptation. Even sent away for a couple of issues—one on Kubrick, another featuring a piece on Blade Runner written by one of my profs at the time.
