Screening Modern Irish Fiction and Drama Edited by R. Barton Palmer and Marc C. Conner

Palgrave Studies in Adaptation and Visual Culture Series Editors Julie Grossman Le Moyne College Syracuse, New York, USA R. Barton Palmer University of California San Diego, USA

This new series addresses how adaptation function as a principal mode of text production in visual culture. What makes the series distinctive is not only its focus on the various forms of visual culture as both a target and a source of adaptations, but also its commitment to include forms beyond film and television, such as videogames, mobile applications, the plastic arts, interactive fiction and film, print and non-print media, and the various manifestations of the avant-garde. As such, the series will contribute to an expansive understanding of adaptation as a central, but only one, form of a larger phenomenon within visual culture. Adaptations are texts that are not singular but complexly multiple, connecting them to other pervasive plural forms: sequels, series, genres, trilogies, authorial oeuvres, appropriations, remakes, reboots, cycles and franchises. This series especially welcomes studies that, in some form, treat the connection between adaptation and these other forms of multiplicity. We also welcome proposals that focus on aspects of theory that are relevant to the importance of adaptation as connected to various forms of visual culture.
