Adaptive Collaboration, Collaborative Adaptation: Filming the Mamet Canon

Adaptive Collaboration, Collaborative Adaptation: Filming the Mamet Canon Every migration across referential and expressive frameworks entails formal, structural, and cognitive consequences too complex for a traditionalist comparative posture.

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.
