[Commlist] Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance 18.2 published

Wed Jan 28 22:31:11 GMT 2026





Intellect is pleased to present Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance 18.2!


Special Issue: ‘A Global “Puppet”’


Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchiois deeply rooted in Italy’s rich puppetry tradition. The correspondence between the novel and the practices of comic and puppet theatre reveals Collodi’s interest in the stage and reflects the widespread fascination with puppet performances in nineteenth-century culture. This volume explores the theatrical vocation of Collodi’s novel by examining its connections to the important phenomenon of puppetry in Europe.
