This comprehensive volume brings together perspectives from multimodal stylistics and adaptation studies to provide a unified theoretical framework for analyzing adaptations of Alice Munro's work. By treating films and television programs as complex multimodal stylistic systems, the book aims to enhance our understanding of screen adaptations as expressions of modal, medial, and aesthetic change.
The author, Francesconi, focuses on Munro's body of work, which has been extensively adapted across television and film for a global audience over several decades. Through a diachronic overview, the book offers insights into the interplay of socio-cultural contexts, audiences, and production and distribution dynamics across adaptations. Additionally, a microanalysis of the adaptations is conducted, exploring the diverse creative uses of audio-visual dimensions, including sound, light, and movement.
The book's primary objective is to challenge simplistic fidelity-based understandings of screen adaptations and showcase innovative multi-layered approaches to a creator's oeuvre. By doing so, it seeks to achieve true transformation across media and modes, enriching our understanding of the complex processes involved in adapting literary works for the screen.
This volume will appeal to scholars in multimodality, adaptation studies, film studies, and comparative literature, as it offers a valuable contribution to the field of screen adaptation studies.
