The Modern, the Postmodern, the Premodern, the Metamodern, and other “modernisms” are concepts deeply rooted within attempts to conceptualise Western and global development in history, politics, geopolitics, economy, and in scientific, socio-cultural, and aesthetic domains. In any attempt to “think historically” or to “look at the bigger picture,” these terms are unavoidable.

Different versions of “modernism” are deeply concerned with historical changes and cultural transformations, including adaptation of various kinds. Seeing “modernism” as a continuum enables us to ask questions about what changes and what stays the same across the different “modernisms,” and such transpositions and transgressions can be insightfully analyzed by adaptation studies. The conference ponders how different media, views of temporality, historical periods, and theories of art travel within and across different kinds of modernisms and how their producers and consumers construct and engage with them. At the same time, the conference attends to how the etymology of “modern” and the accompanying concepts of “novelty”, “the new”, and even “revolution” echo in different epochs and their adaptations, and to what can adaptation studies tell us about their transformation into “norm”, “the old”, and “the Classic”.

We welcome papers concerned with, but not limited to, topics related to the following questions:

How does adaptation practice, and theoretical concepts connected with it, inform or change in various kinds of “modernisms”?

How does today’s adaptation studies respect / cement / ignore the conceptual borders of premodernism, modernism, postmodernism, post-post-modernism, and metamodernism?

How do different kinds of modernisms inform the cultural, political, aesthetic, and media exchange of adaptations?

Does adaptation studies offer new ways of looking at the adaptation of, for example, Modernism by Postmodernism?

*Conference chairs: *Dr Petr Bubeníček, Dr Miroslav Kotásek
