Beskrivning

Adaptation Online: Creating Memes, Sweding Movies, and other Digital Performances explores how traditional notions of the processes and products of creative adaptation are evolving online. Using a performance lens and a shift in terminology from the metaphor of the cultural meme to the framing that adaptation affords, Lyndsay Michalik Gratch considers online adaptations in terms of creative process and human agency, rather than merely as products. This book offers a glossary of strategies for online adaptation that is useful not only for scholars in performance studies, but also for scholars of cinema, communications, and new media studies.

Recensioner i media

Adaptation Online is a productive and useful book. It is theoretically grounded in familiar performances studies terms, and clearly lays out the pathway for using our disciplinary knowledge to more deeply understanding digital practices. Gratch gives us a vocabulary with which to continue exploring, points to new questions and directions in which to move, and shows us how to put this new adaptation methodology into practice for ourselves. For students, scholars, and practitioners of performance studies, this is an important book in working through our relationship to digital practices, and it encourages us to engage ourselves, to embody the practices we are seeking to understand. Gratch proves herself with this work as an important and thoughtful voice in this conversation, and her book belongs in our discussions and our classrooms.
