One of the central aims of Adaptation in Turkish Literature, Cinema, and Media was to push adaptation studies beyond its Anglo-American defaults. So it feels fitting that the first review has appeared not in English, but in Russian. Thank you, Polina Rybina! www.ivran.ru/f/Vestnik-In...

Best thing I’ve seen this year so far is still Óliver Laxe’s Sirât. Less plot-delivery than sensory ceremony. The desert rave isn’t a backdrop; it’s the form. It pulls you into its rhythm. #sirat #oliverlaxe

Seda Öz @ssedaozz.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Everyone’s calling Sentimental Value a father–daughter story, but the film’s emotional engine isn’t just lineage. It’s the labor of sisters and friends to hold each other up, translate pain into care, and make a life together out of what’s left. #sentimentalvalue #joachimtrier #neon

Finally read my friend @kmecholsky.bsky.social’s “The Narcissistic Scandal of Adapting History.” So jealous of his work. It’s half academic essay, half New Yorker piece. He argues adapting history isn’t about the past but about securing our place in the future. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

🔆 LFA/AAS Joint Conference (ONLINE ONLY): Adaptation and Collaboration, 19-20 Feb 2026 ✍️ Submit your proposal here by 1 December 2025: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

LFA/AAS Online Conference 2026: Adaptation and Collaboration
February 19-20, 2026

When the online joint LFA/AAS conference began in the heyday of a global pandemic, the goal and theme was connection: to meet and mingle with scholars from across the world when circumstances made in-person connection untenable. Now, with half a decade under our belts and increasingly complex global problems facing our cultures and communities, it becomes crucial to think about the ways that adaptations (and adaptation scholars) of all kinds can find strength through an ethic and theory of collaboration, one that recognizes the ways adaptations have always been collaborative and explores new possibilities for intergroup cooperation

We invite scholars from all disciplines to submit 8-10 minute presentations on the intersection of textual adaptation (intertextuality, intermediality, industries, and auteurs) and collaboration (cooperation, collective action, interdisciplinarity, and academic partnerships) writ broadly. While we welcome any unique interpretations of this theme, possible approaches could include:

Adaptation as a collaborative practice between authors and adapters, readers and viewers, scholars and practitioners, or texts and technologies
Adapting (with) non-human collaborators
Adaptations that theorize or explore themes of collaboration and collective action
Adaptation’s role in collaborative pedagogies
Adapting for the sake of international/interdisciplinary collaboration
Adapting collaborative technologies for artistic production and cultural reception

We particularly encourage presentations and panels which foster cooperation across disciplines and/or bring the spirit of collaboration into the panel format itself – experimentation is welcome!

Please submit abstracts using this Google Form by 1 December 2025. All inquiries may be directed to adaptationjointconference@gmail.com

We will notify everyone whose proposals are accepted for presentation by mid-December.
