Body and Text: Cultural Transformations in New Media Environments by David CallahanEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2019 | 203 Pages | ISBN : 3030251888 | 4.94 MB
This book presents a collection of academic essays that take a fresh look at content and body transformation in the new media, highlighting how old hierarchies and canons of analysis must be revised. The movement of narratives and characterisations across forms, conventionally understood as adaptation, has commonly involved high-status classical forms (drama, epic, novel) being transformed into recorded and broadcast media (film, radio and television), or from the older recorded media to the newer ones.
