Considering Iranian film adaptations have barely received any scholarly attention, this article focuses on Dariush Mehrjui’s The Cow/Gav (1969), one of the pioneering films of the New Wave, adapted from Gholamhosein Sa’edi’s story collection entitled The Mourners of Bayal/Azadaran-e Bayal (1965). The rise of the New Wave cinema through the pre-revolutionary years before 1979 was interwoven with the engagement of filmmakers like Mehrjui with Persian fiction. While Sa’edi’s stories present criticisms of the socio-political atmosphere of the late 1960s and 1970s, I argue that Mehrjui’s adaptation complicates Sa’edi’s critical perspective to establish an overt social commentary on contemporary Iranian society. This paper will conclude by demonstrating that Mehrjui in The Cow draws on Sa’edi’s work to portray a microcosm of Iranian society and places it in relation to the motifs of overdependence, fear, religion, and waiting, which are interpretable in the social context of the late 1960s and 1970s. This analysis highlights the invisible yet significant role of modern Persian fiction and adaptation strategies in establishing the perspective of The Cow, which left an impression on many New Wave films.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ADAPTATION/APAB004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49658509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its depiction of race has made it a problematic ‘master text’, however, especially since it was published in the same year as the US Fugitive Slave Act. This essay examines three recent adaptations across a variety of media that focus on the relationship between race and motherhood, revealing the ways in which Hester Prynne can be integrated into society as a single mother in ways that non-white mothers cannot. Suzan-Lori Parks’ 1998 play In the Blood stages ‘Hester, La Negrita’ as a homeless mother of five who cannot escape the ‘hand of fate’ of racial oppression. Celeste Ng’s 2017 novel Little Fires Everywhere reinvents Hester as a surrogate mother whose efforts on behalf of a birth mother in a trans-racial adoption dispute highlight how race differentially impacts maternal rights. The 2020 Hulu television adaptation of Ng’s novel casts the Hester and Pearl figures, along with an artist named Hawthorne, as black women whose activism forces the Richardson family to acknowledge their white privilege. Together, these adaptations examine how the ‘monstrous birth’ of slavery that Hawthorne only belatedly acknowledged has had a lingering afterlife in constructions of race and motherhood.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ADAPTATION/APAB006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44476281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Black Sherlock Holmes (1918): A Case Study in Racebending","authors":"Ann McClellan","doi":"10.1093/adaptation/apaa007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/adaptation/apaa007","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 With hundreds of Sherlock Holmes screen adaptations, the silent all-Black-cast A Black Sherlock Holmes (1918) remains an under-researched anomaly. The essay provides an overview of colourblind and colour conscious casting practices, ultimately advocating for adopting fan studies approaches to ‘racebending’. Racebending involves alternately ‘racing’ canonical characters from white to Black Minority Ethnic. After briefly reviewing representations of African Americans in blackface minstrelsy and early twentieth-century race films, the essay argues that A Black Sherlock Holmes highlights the ways in which race filmmakers were trying to reimagine new ways for African Americans to become part of dominant literary culture. In reimagining Sherlock Holmes as an African American, the film (re)inscribes Black people into prominent literary and cultural history. Because Knick Garter is doubly descended from two notable fictional detectives, America’s Nick Carter of dime novel fame as well as Britain’s legendary Sherlock Holmes, his very existence posits a new world where famous Black characters are as much a part of the American literary landscape as canonical characters from Hawthorne, Poe, and Twain. Viewing A Black Sherlock Holmes in light of the possibilities the film offers, rather than its limitations, allows viewers today to see the ways literary history, film, and race coalesced to highlight the possibilities of radical racial change in the post-Reconstruction era at the beginning of the twentieth century.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"23-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45911021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
