Abstract

‘Adaptation studies’ today is a massively expanded and proliferating field. From medium-specific versus comparative approaches, to intertextuality and metatextuality, onwards to intermediality and transmediality, twenty-first-century adaptation studies has broadened its original scope from literary/theatrical adaptations on screen to innumerable permutations and degrees of adaptation and related practices. Eclectic interpretations of individual adaptations have burgeoned. Scholars from far beyond the traditional enclaves of literature or film departments contribute to the subject’s growth.
