Beyond specific theories and differing modes of pluralism, this debate points to theorization’s failure to theorize adaptation more generally. New theories have done a great deal for adaptation, but they have also introduced new theoretical problems: so much so, that the latest debates in adaptation study no longer lie between theoretical progressivism and theoretical return but between theoretical pluralism and theoretical abandonment. They continue because new theories have not resolved the problems of old theories for adaptation, so that scholars return to older theories to try to redress them. By 2006, literary film adaptation studies outnumbered general literature-and-film studies, and Linda Hutcheon authoritatively opened adaptation studies beyond literature and film and beyond dyadic disciplines and theoretical camps into a pluralism of media, disciplines, and theories, although debates between pre–theoretical turn and post–theoretical turn theories have continued.

Editorial Board Gillian Allard - University of Glamorgan, UK Theodore Billy - St. The aim of this journal is to offer a forum for discussion and analysis of adaptation and/or translation in performance and as creative practice in the context of the following media: theatre, film and television, radio and audio, music, dance, opera, gaming, and graphic narratives. As an academic discipline, Adaptation Studies has begun to establish itself in the last few decades as tin important area of scholarship and research which - alongside Translation Studies - continues to make significant contributions to our analysis and understanding of a complex and increasingly diverse world culture. Adaptation and the related areas of translation and intertextuality continue to have a central place in our culture and profound resonance across our civilizat- ions. In our own time the processes of cross-generic and cross-cultural transformation continue to be extremely important in theatre as well as in film and other media industries.
