Film beyond boundaries: film, migrant narratives and other media
Highlights
The articles here presented are representative of the debates about the various transformational aspects of film studies, fostering the discussion about the transformations and interactions between national and international narrative forms, the interrelations between film and literature, and film with other media
Drawing from Bakhtin's concept of dialogism and Genette's definition of intertextuality, Stam defines new possibilities of reading film adaptation as a provocative dismantling of hierarchies in order to see it as a new form of critical reading of the literary text as well, “not necessarily subordinated to it”, but as a form of intertext or transtextuality
Stam's critical perspective is further enriched with his various analyses of specific film adaptations
