Screening Text: Critical Perspectives on Film Adaptation
Coordonné par Shannon Wells-Lassagne et Ariane Hudelet
About the book : Rather than limiting the cinema, as certain French New Wave critics feared, adaptation has encouraged new inspiration to explore the possibilities of the intersection of text and film. This collection of essays covers various aspects of adaptation studies–questions of genre and myth, race and gender, readaptation, and pedagogical and practical approaches.
About the authors : Shannon Wells-Lassagne is an associate professor at the Université de Bretagne Sud in Lorient, France. Ariane Hudelet is an associate professor at Université de Paris-Diderot in France.
