Ochonicky","doi":"10.1093/adaptation/apaa006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/adaptation/apaa006","url":null,"abstract":"In recent decades, the steady remaking of individual films and rebooting of film franchises evince the cultural and commercial appeals of reimagining established titles. This article analyzes how the related practice of retroactive continuity (retcon) functions as a nostalgic intervention within a franchise’s broad mythology and ongoing narrative. Nostalgia is a longing to return to a desired space or time from which one is separated, and the retcon is an attempt to bind the past and present within a particular franchise’s story world. As such, retconning is an act of nostalgia in at least two ways. First, retconning may be used to nostalgically restore a franchise to a lost, idealized state. Second, a retcon may alter a franchise’s overarching narrative while still preserving selected story elements from earlier instalments; in this case, the retcon creates new audience understandings of the franchise and invites a nostalgic revisiting of previous films. To examine nostalgia and retcons, this article uses the first eleven films of the Halloween series (1978–2018) as a collective case study, as the franchise is distinguished by frequent retcons. Further, the original Halloween (1978) has evolved into a lost ‘home’ to which filmmakers and audiences alike nostalgically seek to return. Overall, this article exposes how nostalgia manifests on the levels of narrative, aesthetics, theme, and marketing across the Halloween series. While illuminating these dynamics within the Halloween franchise, the article argues that, in ways that are related to and discrete from remakes and reboots, the retcon is a nostalgic practice.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"334-357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47580797","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}

The aim of this study is to explore the symbiosis between nostalgia and adaptation in Hong Kong cinema within the cultural landscape of 1950s Hong Kong, when Cold War politics was operating. With a detailed analysis of the 1953 Hong Kong film adaptation of mainland writer Ba Jin’s novel Family, and a comparative reading with the mainland film version produced in 1956, this study illustrates the cultural and historical significance of nostalgia in the development of Hong Kong cinema. This article further argues that nostalgic sentiment was expressed effectively through adaptations, while simultaneously improving these adaptations artistically and strengthening their political alignment with the mainland.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"313-333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apz029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49399777","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}

Nonetheless, character construction is not the only locus of nostalgia within the universe of Better Call Saul: its condition as an audiovisual multiplicity (being a spin-off and a prequel) entails a nostalgia of its own towards the narrative and aesthetic devices of the Breaking Bad series, from which it stems. Thus, through character and narrative analysis, this essay will ascertain the resources behind Better Call Saul’s configuration as a series that establishes a dialogue with memories of diegetic and televisual pasts.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"358-377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60656890","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}

Inspirational narratives, in particular, have instrumentalized the canon to serve socially reparative purposes. Social recuperation of disabled figures loom large in adaptation, and many reparative adaptations tap into a curative quality of Shakespearean texts. When Shakespeare’s phrases or texts are quoted, even in fragments, they serve as an index of intelligence of the speaker. Governing the disability narrative is the trope about Shakespeare’s therapeutic value. There are two strands of recuperative adaptations. The first is informed by the assumption that the dramatic situations exemplify moral universals. The second strand consists of adaptations that problematize heteronormativity and psychological universals in liberal humanist visions of the canon. This approach is self-conscious of deeply contextual meanings of the canon. As a result, it lends itself to the genres of parody, metatheatre, and metacinema. Through case studies of Tom Hooper’s King’s Speech, Cheah Chee Kong’s Chicken Rice War, and other adaptations that thematize vocal disorders, this article identifies a common trope in reparative performances of disability in order to highlight some questions the trope raises.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49572700","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}

Camara Laye’s The Dark Child (1953) was sold as an autobiography and became the most read African novel in French. The idyllic narrative that African critics accused of colonial apologetics is now accused by Western scholars of being the product of an anti-independence conspiracy supported by François Mitterrand. When claims of ghost-writing were still dismissed as petty African jealousy, Laurent Chevallier relocated Laye’s childhood story to present-day Guinea with an analogous film adaptation that both builds on and parallels the novel. The French director introduces L’enfant noir (1995) not as his own interpretation but that of Laye’s relatives who also act in his film. Although Chevallier sells his story as authentically local, his Eurocentric adaptation of gender, polygamy, and reproduction has provoked accusations of Western plotting against African values.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44902376","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}

It proposes a view of the Western as a genre that originates in the revisionist adaptation of American national mythology. As an inherently nostalgic genre, the Western has grappled with its ambivalent relationship with the past throughout the twentieth century. Recent Western productions demonstrate their awareness of the genre’s sentimental falsifications of the past and integrate nostalgic tensions into their aesthetic repertoire. Buster Scruggs taps into both the current success of nostalgic formats on screen and the specific affordances of the Western genre. The close readings in this article explore the visual, structural, and narrative strategies the film employs to, on the one hand, permit and, in fact, encourage nostalgic indulgence while, on the other, engaging in the revision of both the postmodern aversion against affective involvement and its wholesale acceptance in the Western’s early incarnations.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42396361","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}

James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales and Honoré de Balzac’s La Comédie humaine are proposed as significant precursors that embody two dominant trends within recurring character storytelling: the central protagonist series and the populous storyworld. The foundations of recurring character storytelling are traced in a range of determinants including: increasing literacy and the rise of popular genres; modes of serial publication; and the development and enforcement of copyright law. Finally, focusing upon the central protagonist variant, the age and aging of recurring characters are discussed as a necessary consideration for the makers and adapters of such series. Several are analysed, including James Bond, Sharpe, the Morse franchise, and Midsomer Murders, to illuminate how makers handle chronology, the passage of time, and related issues in adaptation. As part of an assessment of the ‘affordances’ of recurring character fictions, nostalgia and familiarity are discussed as significant dimensions of the experience they furnish.","PeriodicalId":42085,"journal":{"name":"Adaptation-The Journal of Literature on Screen Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/adaptation/apaa028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48871060","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}
