Description: When Stories Travel : Cross-Cultural Encounters Between Fiction and Film, Hardcover by Della Coletta, Cristina, ISBN 142140365X, ISBN-13 9781421403656, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Written in a highly academic style, this book looks at the adaptation of creative material from fiction to film as a cross-cultural encounter; as in language translation, artists from different cultural and creative traditions meet. The author, Cristina Della Coletta (Italian, U. of Virginia), also engages translation and adaptation within this book in more literal ways. Her topics include film from US, Italian, French, and Argentine sources: Visconti adapting James M. Cain, Fellini adapting Poe, Alain Corneau adapting Antonio Tabucchi, Bertolucci adapting Borges. In order to talk about these cross-cultural encounters in both language and media, the author relies on hermeneutic theory. Th is designed to stimulate cross-disciplinary conversation in film and media studies, cultural studies, and literature. While the style of writing is more straightforward than passive-voice critical theory, all readers will need to be comfortable with hermaneutics and familiar with the usual suspects of intellectual critical theory (Freud, Bakhtin, Levi-Strauss, etc).
