Abstract

In this talk the long and heated debate around the relationship between literature and cinema will be sketched focusing on the relevance of adaptation studies for postcolonial theory. How does postcoloniality reframe and reinterpret this longstanding debate between literature and film? And how do adaptations studies contribute to a renewed understanding of postcolonial cinema?
