Applying the theories of Popular Culture, Visual Culture, Performance Studies, (Post) Feminism, and Film Studies, this new monograph proposes to explore the recent important and significant cases of the literature works adapted, represented and transformed into interesting artistic medium in films, (musical) theater, and TV drama. Theoretical ideas include Angela McRobbie’s book Postmodernism and Popular Culture, Christine Geraghty’s book chapter “Soap Opera and Utopia,” etc., Utopia imagination from the rural to urban, from the past to the present, is similar yet changing. Jean Baudrillard’s article “The Precession of Simulacra,” Michel de Certeau’s book chapter “The Practice of Everyday Life,” and Ien Ang’s “Feminism Desire and Female Pleasure” all offer the insights in the politics of popular culture, manifested in the related films, theater performances, and TV drama interpreted in this monograph.
