New Approaches In Literature And Film Adaptations Research

Abstract
Filmmakers started to adapt works of literature from the beginnings of cinema. For decades, many scholars who wrote about film adaptations, a movie derived from a work of literature, considered them to be an inferior cultural product. However, in recent decades, new perspectives in adaptation studies have emerged. Several methodological approaches have been developed with the aim to provide a methodology suitable to study film adaptations. This paper describes the most influential ones, emphasizing the intertextual dialogic approach and the most recent theoretical frameworks Keywords - Film and Literature, Adaptation, Intertextuality, Dialogism, Cultural Context
