Literary Adaptation and Representation by May Toudic

Literary Adaptation and Representation by May Toudic

Despite the major advancement in social justice made in the past decades, modern media is still lagging behind when it comes to diversity and the representation of marginalised communities. This poses an important question for the field of adaptation studies: what is adaptation’s role in this issue and how can it properly address issues of social justice and bring more diverse stories to popular media? In this episode, our co-hosts, Ian Grosz and Marianne Fossaluzza, invite May Toudic, a second year PhD student specialising in adaptation theory who argues that, by bringing new perspectives to older works of literature, re-visionary adaptation of Victorian women’s bildungsroman can bridge the gap between past, present and future and between individual and society in order to advocate for social justice.
