The Routledge Companion to Adaptation

• Mapping, which presents a variety of perspectives on the scope and development of adaptation studies;
• Historiography, which investigates the ways in which adaptation engages with – and disrupts – history;
• Identity, which considers texts and practices in adaptation as sites of multiple and fluid identity formations;
• Reception, which examines the role played by an audience, considering the unpredictable relationships between adaptations and those who experience them;
• Technology, which focuses on the effects of ongoing technological advances and shifts on specific adaptations, and on the wider field of adaptation.

An emphasis on adaptation-as-practice establishes methods of investigation that move beyond a purely comparative case study model. The Routledge Companion to Adaptation celebrates the complexity and diversity of adaptation studies, mapping the field across genres and disciplines.
