Material type:
TextPublisher: London : Bloomsbury, 2014Description: 176 pages ; 23 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781628928044 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Film adaptations -- History and criticism | Motion pictures and literature | Affect (Psychology)DDC classification: 791.4'36 Summary: 'The Drift' offers a new perspective on the complex interrelations between literature and cinema. It does so by articulating an 'affective turn' for adaptation studies, a field whose traditional focus has been the critical castigation of film adaptations of canonical plays or novels. Drawing on theorists such as Gilles Deleuze, Brian Massumi, and Marco Abel, the author is able to re-conceive literary and cinematic works as textual engines generating and circulating affect, and the adaptive process as a drifting of those affective intensities from one medium to another.
