- Title
Adaptive Collaboration, Collaborative Adaptation: Filming the Mamet Canon.
- Authors
Collard, Christophe
- Abstract
Every migration across referential and expressive frameworks entails formal, structural, and cognitive consequences too complex for a "traditionalist" comparative posture. Moreover, the intertextuality and intermediality of the "transmedial screenplay" make it incompatible with "static" concepts such as "fidelity" and "originality" precisely on behalf of the film medium's poly-systemic nature. Bringing together the analogous concerns of collaborative creation, adaptation, and authorship, this essay therefore discusses David Mamet's screen adaptations of personal and other work from a process-based perspective as a means of attaining a more constructive understanding of so-called "interaesthetic passages."
