Adaptation Studies

Adaptation studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines how stories, themes, or ideas change when they are transformed from one medium to another, such as from a book to a film, or from a play to a video game. It explores the processes of reimagining, interpreting, and presenting narratives in new formats, considering factors like cultural context, audience reception, and artistic choices. By analyzing adaptations, scholars gain insights into how different mediums shape storytelling and the impact of these changes on the original material and its audience.
