“Adaptation is repetition, but repetition without replication.”
― A Theory of Adaptation
― A Theory of Adaptation
“Although adaptations are also aesthetic objects in their own right, it is only as inherently double or multilaminated works that they can be theorized as adaptations.
An adaptation’s double nature does not mean, however, that proximity or fidelity to the adapted text should be the criterion of judgment or the focus of analysis.”
