This module begins with an examination of theories of adaptation in relation to translation studies before moving on to explore the adaptations of a series of classic works on the page, stage and screen. Encompassing forms and media such as ballet, photography, film and television alongside literature, the module will focus on the ways in which adaptations target new audiences and address the cultural values of their source texts in the light of current sensibilities in relation to race and gender.
