> Adaptation and translation in the form of the 
> conversion of oral, historical or fictional 
> narratives into stage drama has been common 
> practice for centuries. In our own time the 
> processes of cross-generic transformation 
> continue to be extremely important in theatre as 
> well as in the film and other media industries. 
> Adaptation and the related areas of translation 
> and intertextuality continue to have a central 
> place in our culture with a profound resonance 
> across our civilizations. As an academic 
> discipline, Adaptation Studies has begun to 
> establish itself in the last few decades as an 
> important area of scholarship and research which 
> - alongside Translation Studies - continues to 
> make significant contributions to our analysis 
> and understanding of a complex and increasingly diverse world culture.

> The Journal of Adaptation in Film and 
> Performance is a recently established 
> peer-reviewed journal designed to engage with 
> specific issues relating to performance on 
> stage, film, television, radio and other media. 
> Embracing comfortably these disciplines under 
> the umbrella of adaptation theories and 
> practices, it attempts to challenge widespread 
> views of national cultural histories and global 
> constructions of performance culture by 
> analysing methods, histories and occurrences of 
> adaptation and translation across a range of media.

>
> We would like to invite contributions that offer 
> historical, theoretical, practice-based and 
> pedagogy-orientated considerations and 
> discussions of adaptation and translation in/for 
> performance in the context of one or more of the following topics:
