Intertextuality: Adaptation

Hello everyone!

Today we had our last class on Intertextuality, and the last reading was about adaptation, based on a text by Linda Hutcheon.

Some discussions came up in the sense of adaptation generating better or worse movies than the books were, in the original form of the story.

Can good movies be bad adaptations?

Do the illustrations count as part of an adaptation?

Are books now being written as primary screenplays?

Those and other questions were rised, and more disussions might be generated by this topic: intertextuality, as we've seen, was very much present of this matter, as it seems to be on every discussion about texts and content.
