Why do we return to some stories over and over again? How do these stories change when they change form? In this subject you are introduced to the theory and practice of adaptation. We will explore a range of genres--from the Regency romance to the horror film--and uncover some of the ways in which texts are adapted across a variety of media forms. By the end of this subject, you should have developed an understanding of the Adaptation industry, and of how the meanings of texts can change when they shift in time, in place, and in media.
