Overview
- Brings literature/film adaptation to bear on the question of how nineteenth-century imperial ideologies of progress continue to inform power inequalities in a global capitalist age
- Demonstrates that adaptation, as both method and cultural product, provides a way to engage with the baggage of ideological heritage in our contemporary global media environment
- Analyses how a twentieth- or twenty-first-century film adaptation confronts, remediates, and reappropriates the progress ideology—but also the subversive possibilities—inherent in Romantic and Victorian British fiction
