It explores how the process of re-versioning A Dream Play provides insights that might be of relevance to the fields of adaptation and translation studies. Starting from the position that translation is ‘rewriting’ — an ‘active form of interpretation whose cultural impact is extensive’ (Loffredo and Perteghella) — the essay argues that the adaptation of August Strindberg’s text to a devised, site-related performance amplified that ‘cultural impact’ through its ‘retranslation’ to a non-traditional theatre site. In shaping the responses of cast and audience to the physical performance space, the production created a ‘poetics of the collective’, which permitted a new engagement with Strindberg’s canonical text. The piece concludes with some reflections on the constraints of the writer-adaptor in the re-visioning, particularly in an iconic text such as A Dream Play.","PeriodicalId":41019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance","volume":"27 1","pages":"71-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82455035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a surprising amount of \u0000cultural work is done by the adaptation’s few but striking deviations from its general \u0000principle of fidelity, such as the total omission of Arthur Holmwood, the turning \u0000of Lucy and Mina into sisters rather than friends and Dracula’s speech in defence \u0000of vampirism, coupled with the absence of any suggestion that vampirism might \u0000be a metaphor for something other than itself. This adaptation’s focus, I suggest, \u0000is to precipitate the arrival of modernity, as a half-glimpse of the Simone Martini \u0000Annunciation in the crypt of Carfax leads into Dracula materializing in Mina’s \u0000bedroom as white smoke like an Unholy Ghost, suggesting that a new era is about \u0000to dawn and that sexuality is out of the coffin in which the Victorians sought to \u0000imprison it.","PeriodicalId":41019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance","volume":"1 1","pages":"217-226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91118135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A vidshow is a curated programme of fanvids, fan-made video art pieces that adapt television and film sources into short videos, which is shown at media fan conventions. To plan this, I first selected vampire-related examples from my research collection, and then drafted a list of screen vampires to guide my search for other vids to address gaps. From there, my curation was guided by a series of questions about how these pocket-sized adaptations would contribute to the vidshow’s representation of screen vampires. How do these act as a history of media fandom’s relationship with screen vampires? Vids are works of textual analysis that offer critical and creative responses to their source texts. What would my selection argue about how we watch vampires? I propose that vidshows are a site of negotiating fan-favourite and cult canons of vampire shows and characters.","PeriodicalId":41019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance","volume":"27 1","pages":"263-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76466757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
