“…En la última década, nuevos estudios y teorías ofrecen interesantes ideas y planteamientos para afrontar el análisis de las adaptaciones cinematográficas. A pesar de que las teorías sobre la fidelidad al original parecen no haber sido olvidadas en algunas contribuciones recientes (Kranz & Mellerski, 2008;MacCabe, Murray & Warner, 2011), teorías y propuestas como las de McFarlane (2000), Naremore (2000), Stam (2000Stam ( , 2005, Elliott (2003), Gutleben y Onega (2004), Stam y Raengo (2005), Sanders (2005), Hutcheon (2006), Desmond y Hawkes (2006), Pennacchia Punzi (2007, Leitch (2007Leitch ( , 2008aLeitch ( , 2008bLeitch ( , 2008c, Zavala (2009), Hurst (2008), Mezt (2008), Carroll (2009, Cartmell y Whelehan (2007, 2010, y las más recientes aproximaciones a la adaptación y las narrativas transmedia (Voigts & Nicklas, 2013), ofrecen nuevas herramientas con las que enfrentarse al estudio y análisis de las adaptaciones. Estas propuestas se alejan y superan la noción de fidelidad al original y comienzan a proporcionar modelos adecuados para incluir en los estudios de adaptación no solo la adaptación de novelas al cine sino todo tipo de material utilizado por el adaptador (relatos, obras de teatro, novelas gráficas, cómics, biografías, videojuegos, etc.…”

Partiendo de una revisión anterior de las teorías sobre adaptación cinematográfica (Rodríguez Martín, 2005), mi intención en este texto es analizar el desarrollo y evolución de estas con énfasis en las contribuciones académicas al estudio de la adaptación publicadas en los últimos quince años. Estas propuestas superan la noción de fidelidad al original y comienzan a proporcionar modelos adecuados para incluir en los estudios de adaptación no solo la adaptación de novelas al cine sino todo tipo de material utilizado por el adaptador, sin olvidar el material brindado por las nuevas formas narrativas como las narrativas transmedia y sin dejar de lado las adaptaciones a otros medios distintos al cine.

“…A film adaptation encapsulates and materialises the influences exerted by the agents involved in its creation; at the same time, it needs to respond to the values and demands of the contemporary sociocultural surroundings in order to provide a reinterpretation of the source material that caters to these demands. Leitch (2008) stresses that adaptation encourages the audience to reflect on the messages conveyed by the source text and test their assumptions against those communicated by the adaptation. In this way, adaptations introduce new reading strategies (Leitch 2008: 116) through which views of social reality may be reinterpreted and restabilised.…”

Film Adaptation as an Act of Communication: Adopting a Translation-oriented Approach to the Analysis of Adaptation Shifts

Les avenues théoriques contemporaines en études d’adaptation et de traduction (Aragay 2005 ; Catrysse 2014 ; Milton 2009 ; Venuti 2007) envisagent des synergies entre ces deux domaines qui peuvent contribuer à la valeur socioculturelle et artistique des adaptations. Cela suggère l’application des aperçus théoriques dérivés des études de traduction à la transmission des livres sur l’écran (c.-à-d. l’adaptation cinématographique). Cet article établit que la procédure de transposition d’un roman à un produit cinématographique implique un acte de communication bidirectionnelle entre le livre, le film et les contextes de leur production et leur réception. Le rôle du contexte dans cette communication fait l’objet d’une attention particulière. Dans cet article, le contexte inclut le matériel paratextuel pertinent pour le texte adapté et le film. Ce paratexte peut mener à de fructueuses analyses des adaptations et, par conséquent, permettre de s’affranchir du critère restrictif de fidélité qui régit traditionnellement les études d’adaptation. La section analytique de l’article utilise des exemples d’interventions adaptatives (c.-à-d. entre le livre source et l’adaptation cinématographique) apparus dans le film P.S. I Love You (LaGravenese 2007). Ces exemples sont examinés à la lumière des entretiens avec l’auteur, le directeur et les acteurs, la bande-annonce du film et une critique cinématographique.Contemporary theoretical trends in Adaptation Studies and Translation Studies (Aragay 2005; Catrysse 2014; Milton 2009; Venuti 2007) envisage synergies between the two areas that can contribute to the sociocultural and artistic value of adaptations. This suggests the application of theoretical insights derived from Translation Studies to the adaptation of novels for the screen (i.e., film adaptations). It is argued that the process of transposing a novel into a filmic product entails an act of bidirectional communication between the book, the novel and the involved contexts of production and reception. Particular emphasis is placed on the role that context plays in this communication. Context here is taken to include paratextual material pertinent to the adapted text and to the film. Such paratext may lead to fruitful analyses of adaptations and, thus, surpass the myopic criterion of fidelity which has traditionally dominated Adaptation Studies. The analysis uses examples of adaptation shifts (i.e., changes between the source novel and the film adaptation) from the film P.S. I Love You (LaGravenese 2007), which are examined against interviews of the author, the director and the cast, the film trailer and one film review.Las tendencias teóricas contemporáneas en los estudios de adaptación y de traducción (Aragay 2005, Catrysse 2014, Milton 2009, Venuti 2007) contemplan sinergias entre las dos áreas que pueden contribuir al valor sociocultural y artístico de las adaptaciones.

“…Making the argument that literary adaptations form a distinct genre, Thomas Leitch identifies four markers: a period setting; period music (not necessarily from the period of the setting); the foregrounding of authors, books and words in titles, intertitles, and credits; and overt references to the time and place of the setting. 2 4 Collins's use of witness-statements, investigative-interviews and crime reconstruction in his narratives has enabled writers to draw on screen narrative techniques created for true-life crime stories retold on television, and on court-room dramas. Their mis-en-scene owes much to the heritage of fictional mysteries from detective horror-thrillers to country-house who-dun-its.…”

Wilkie Collins in Context

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This is the story of what a Woman's patience can endure, and what a Man's resolution can achieve.' The opening line of Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White is one of the most famous of all novels. It establishes the story as one of heroic resolution, while also encapsulating the gender roles of Victorian society. Such a statement has roused later writers to reinterpret the tale in the light of the injustices of their own age, and the many adaptations of Collins's novels and short stories show how his activism remains relevant to modern audiences. Recent work in adaptation studies has moved the debate from arguments about fidelity-to-theoriginal to focus on the processes of adaptation. Such scholarship explores how a familiar story is told on screen through the collaboration of the creative teams of writers, directors, actors, and producers. The resulting screen play addresses an audience who often already know the story and are familiar with the genre conventions of television drama and film. Karen Laird's historical work has explored the creation of early play and film adaptations of The Woman in White and their reception by knowing audiences making reference to the thrill-seeking of early film-goers. Others have traced continuities between Collins's sensationalism and the emerging genre of neo-Victorian fiction in the works of Vera Caspary and the modern fiction of James Wilson in The Dark Clue (2001) and Sarah Waters in Fingersmith (2002). 1 This chapter adds to this work by focusing on media adaptations from the late twentieth century to today, exploring how writers have responded to the 'knowing audience' with allusions to other media forms, or to the original novel, and have updated the story with intertextual references to issues in the news. For instance, modern versions of Collins's two most adapted novels The Woman in White and The Moonstone have demonstrated the stories' relevance to debates over gender identity, mental health, and decolonization in the twenty-first century.
