Mehr und mehr werden die Fragen nach den medialen und medientechnischen Bedingungen von Literatur in den literaturwissenschaftlichen Curricula verankert - zumal im Zuge der Umstrukturierung der Studiengänge. Gleichwohl fehlt auf dem Buchmarkt bislang ein Handbuch, das Studierenden sowie Fachwissenschaftlern auf diesem nur schwer zu überblickenden Arbeitsfeld Orientierung bietet. Zwar liegen Standardwerke zur Medientheorie bzw. Mediengeschichte vor; es gibt jedoch einen steigenden Bedarf an einer Überblicksdarstellung, die diese Forschungsgebiete in ihrem Bezug auf Literatur erfasst. Das Handbuch schließt diese Lücke und informiert umfassend über die Medien der literarischen Texte einerseits sowie andererseits über die Medien der literarischen Kommunikation. Es bietet eine Bestandsaufnahme des aktuellen Forschungsstandes auf diesem Gebiet und stellt daher für angehende ebenso wie für erfahrene Literatur- und Buch-, aber auch Theater-, Film-, Medien- und Kulturwissenschaftler eine wichtige Informationsgrundlage bereit.

The focus on twenty-first-century adaptations—many of them little known—of nineteenth-century Spanish novels produces a highly original study, particularly since the adaptations are discussed on their own merits as creative responses to contemporary concerns such as disability, indebtedness, and domestic violence. The stress on free adaptations—in cinema, television, theatre, opera, and graphic narrative—is refreshing. Particularly welcome is the attention not just to the visual reimagining of literary sources but also to the use of musical effects. Readers will take away from this book an appreciation of the inventiveness of contemporary Spanish cultural production. —Jo Labanyi, New York University (USA) Those who are suspicious of non-traditional adaptations of classic literary works will change their minds after reading Linda Willem’s studies of re-mediated versions of nineteenth-century Spanish novels. The adaptations vividly illustrate each work’s relevance to contemporary concerns, and Willem’s analyses bring fresh understanding both to the original works and to the creative re-envisionings of them. Each chapter allows nonspecialists to discover the richness of works by Alas, Galdós, Pardo Bazán, Valera, and Blasco Ibáñez, while making specialists eager to re-read the original works and to teach them with their adaptations. Everyone who is interested in adaptation will enjoy this volume. —Joyce Tolliver, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) The twenty-first-century's turn away from fidelity-based adaptations toward more innovative approaches has allowed adapters from Spain, Argentina, and the United States to draw upon Spain's rich body of nineteenth-century classics to address contemporary concerns about gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, celebrity, immigration, identity, social justice, and domestic violence. This book provides a snapshot of visual adaptations in the first two decades of the new millennium, examining how novelistic material from the past has been remediated for today's viewers through film, television, theater, opera, and the graphic novel. Its theoretical approach refines the binary view of adapters as either honoring or opposing their source texts by positing three types of adaptation strategies: salvaging (which preserves old stories by giving them renewed life for modern audiences), utilizing (which draws upon a pre-existing text for an alternative purpose, building upon the story and creating a shift in emphasis without devaluing the source material), and appropriation (which involves a critique of the source text, often with an attempt to dismantle its authority). Special attention is given to how adapters address audiences that are familiar with the source novels, and those that are not. This examination of the vibrant afterlife of classic literature will be of interest to scholars and educators in the fields of adaptation, media, Spanish literature, cultural studies, performance, and the graphic arts.

This book explores the nature-inspired and place-based vlogging activities of five young women who have become global icons in the last five years, and whose digital projects are a form of ‘nature life writing’ in the Anthropocene. Li Ziqi, Dianxi Xiaoge, Jonna Jinton, Annabel Margaret and Paola Merrill draw on their culture and use technological equipment and social media (especially YouTube) to build dynamic narratives about living in the countryside. Through their online platform they show unique, picturesque footage of their daily routines and rural environments, and present the ways in which they nurture connections between people in the community and animals and landscapes. The study shows how, paradoxically, their digital life writing projects attempt to resist the attention economy but at the same time use strategies to sustain it. Through the various lenses of ecobiography, cultural ecology, digital archiving, ecospirituality, phytography, and ethological poetics, this book also foregrounds the significance of plant life and landscapes – they are reminders of how human lives are inextricably entangled with traditional values and the natural world. Alberta Natasia Adji is a contemporary author and researcher in women’s life narratives. She completed her PhD on auto/biographical fiction at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia, in 2023. Her autobiographical project focuses on family history of Chinese Indonesians from 1959 to 2014. Adji was awarded the 2023 School of Arts and Humanities Research Medal by ECU for the quality of her doctoral research thesis. Before coming to Australia, she has published two novels in Indonesian language, Youth Adagio (2013) and Dante: The Faery and the Wizard (2014). Since then, she has continued publishing her short fiction works in New Writing, Meniscus, and TEXT as well as refereed articles in academic journals.
