Adaptation studies and translation studies

Very interactive yet distinct

Luc van Doorslaer | Stellenbosch University

In an alternating discourse the two authors (one from translation studies, the other from adaptation studies) reflect on common issues the two disciplines are dealing with. As such they also deal with the question of the parallels, common grounds, differences and boundaries between the disciplines. Other topics dealt with include the relationship between the practices and the scholarly disciplines, the issues of originality and transmediality, the problematic and relativized relationship source-target, as well as the essential topic of conservation and gradual change.

Keywords: faithfulness, fidelity, film studies, invariance, media, originality, recontextualization, source/target, transformation
