Title: Literary Adaptation
Course Section Number: ENG-270-02
Department: English
Description: This course will examine literary adaptation of short stories, novels, or plays to film. Since the term "adaptation" implies changing, morphing, or translation a text into another aesthetic form, the course will focus not only on the differences of the two texts, but the process of that text's adaptation into another form. In turn, we will learn how to read differently; that is, to expand our skills of textual analysis and theory to include the visual medium of film. We will also investigate how socio/historical/economic forces and audience expectation can shape a work's reception in different contexts. Prerequisites: none.
