Beckett's Afterlives: Adaptation, Remediation, Appropriation by Jonathan Bignell

Description: Beckett's Afterlives by Jonathan Bignell, Pim Verhulst, Anna McMullan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Becketts afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to posthumous adaptations of Becketts oeuvre. This collection analyses the remarkable diversity of creative engagements across different media and cultural contexts that have ensured the survival and continuing relevance of Becketts work in a constantly changing world. Publisher Description Despite the steady rise in adaptations of Samuel Becketts work across the world following the authors death in 1989, Becketts afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to this creative phenomenon. The collection employs interrelated concepts of adaptation, remediation and appropriation to reflect on Becketts own evolving approach to crossing genre boundaries and to analyse the ways in which contemporary artists across different media and diverse cultural contexts - including the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin America - continue to engage with Beckett. The book offers fresh insights into how his work has kept inspiring both practitioners and audiences in the twenty-first century, operating through methodologies and approaches that aim to facilitate and establish the study of modern-day adaptations, not just of Beckett but other (multimedia) authors as well.
