RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Hutcheon, Linda T1 What happens during adaptation? JF Iluminace YR 2010 VO 22 IS 1 SP 23 OP 59 UL https://iluminace.cz/en/artkey/ilu-201001-0003.php AB A chapter from Linda Hutcheon's book discusses the prejudices that still influence debates about literature in film. She also looks at the field of theatre, computer games, ballet, opera and radio dramatizations. Among the clichés whose validity she denies in her text is the repeated attribution of the intimacy of point of view or the interiority of the experiencing object exclusively to literary narrative. He also addresses issues of time, irony, metaphor or symbol in relation to narratives actualized by verbal and performative media. The author concludes her text by referring to the authors of truisms, to which she is dismissive, as the protectors of literature.
