Dear All

Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

To mark this achievement, we have just published our tenth anniversary special issue (#15 NS) and e-book, Cultural Borrowings: Appropriation, Reworking, Transformation (edited by Iain Robert Smith). The e-book may be found here: <http://www.scope.nottingham.ac.uk/cultborr_cover.php>http://www.scope.nottingham.ac.uk/cultborr_cover.php.

We hope readers will enjoy this free-to-all collection of original scholarship on processes of adaptation in film, television and new media.

The table of contents of Cultural Borrowings is reproduced below: All issues of Scope published between 1999-2004 are now available in the journal's archive (<http://www.scope.nottingham.ac.uk/archive.php>http://www.scope.nottingham.ac.uk/archive.php).
