What People are Saying About This

Professor Julie Sanders

The global reach of this collection is insightful and informative. Viewing adaptation as "encounter, journey, method" in the context of international film-making enables us to explore important and pressing questions of global flow and complex (trans)national identities.

Professor Julie Sanders

[...] an exciting new contribution to the discourse of adaptation studies, bringing together scholars from many different geographical locations to examine the process and product of adaptation (Hutcheon) at the junctures of culture, history, and national identity.
