[ecrea] call for papers - 6th Annual Association of Adaptation Studies Conference

Tue Feb 22 13:37:10 GMT 2011



6th Annual Association of Adaptation Studies Conference,
Yeni Yüzyıl University, İstanbul, Turkey,
Â
29-30 September 2011
Â
Title: The Intellectual Silk Road: Cross-Media and Cross-Cultural Adaptations
Â
The topic of this year's Association of Adaptation Studies conference will focus on adaptation as a site for cultural exchange, reflecting the importance of trading activities along the Silk Road as sites for the transmission not just of goods but of ideas and cultures. Possible issues to be addressed in this conference might include:
Â

Cross Cultural Theories of Adaptation: does the term 'adaptation' have different significances in different cultures?
Filming Shakespeare or other western canonical authors in nonwestern cultures
Adaptation as Transmission Between Cultures and Forms (e.g. print, radio, theatre, television, films, and video games, as well as cross-cultural stage and film adaptations) The Pedagogy of Cultural Exchange: Interdisciplinary or Cross-disciplinary approaches to teaching adaptation
Occident and Orient: Adaptations across 'east' and 'west'
Travel Adaptations, both fictional and nonfictional (documentaries, feature films as well as shorts)Â Â
Adaptation as a form of cultural (re-)negotiation
The Mass Media and Cultural Exchange: globalization vs. localization
Autobiography and Cross-Cultural Adaptation
Â
It is hoped that this conference might underline the potential of adaptation studies to create new intellectual Silk Roads across cultures as well as across disciplines. However, we also welcome more general papers on the subject of adaptation studies, focusing on any kind of adaptation ­ film, television, video game, as well as other media.
Â
Proposals
Â
Proposals for presentations (20 minutes max + 10 minutes for questions) are invited to address the issues outlined above, either through individual case-studies or through more general theoretical approaches.
