Defining adaptation

18 Setembro 2026, 10:00 • Irene Bulla

Today, we considered several questions related to adaptation: how to define and identify an adaptation; what makes an adaptation “good” or “bad”; how to describe an adaptation’s relationship to its source work; and at what point an adaptation becomes an independent work in its own right. We then brainstormed useful terms and phrases for discussing adaptations. Finally, each student wrote and submitted a short paragraph on the topic.

Homework for Tuesday, September 22: Read the first two pages of the introduction to the inaugural issue of the scholarly journal Adaptation (Cartmell et al., available in the Week 1 folder on Google Drive), up to “their own worst enemies” on p. 2.
