Peter Pan Story in the Literary and Cultural Imagination: Exploring the Many Re-Imaginings of J.M The Peter Pan story in the literary and cultural imagination: exploring the many re-imaginings of J.M. Barrie’s story S.R. le Roux 25638289 Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Artium in English at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Dr M. du Plessis-Hay Assistant supervisor: Dr Y.V. Botha May 2016 Abstract This study examines adaptations of the Peter Pan story in three films and a graphic novel, in order to compare the different ways in which adaptation can be justified. In the various films and the graphic novel, the Peter Pan story and the various characters therein are represented in different ways. The theories of Bassnett and Lefevere, Hutcheon, and Jakobson were applied to the various chosen adaptations of the Peter Pan story. The sources consulted with the purpose of discovering which semiotic elements of the Peter Pan story were reinterpreted and recreated across the various adaptations are the original Peter Pan versions, namely: The Little White Bird (1902); an untitled typescript by an unknown typist of Barrie’s play Peter Pan (1904/05); Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1910); Peter and Wendy (1911); a scenario by Barrie for a proposed film of Peter Pan (c. 1920); and the published playscript Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Would not Grow Up (1928). The adaptations chosen for this study are: Peter Pan (silent film, 1924); Disney’s Peter Pan (animation, 1953); Peter Pan (live action, 2003); and Peter Panzerfaust (graphic novel, 2012- ). These adaptations were chosen according to their significant changes and similarities to the original story Through the application of the previously mentioned theories and the comparison to the original Peter Pan versions, the study determined that: even though the various adaptations re-imagined the original Peter Pan story and were viewed as unfaithful versions of the original text, they were successful in appropriating the story of Peter Pan. These adaptations recreated and reinterpreted the semiotic elements from the original story, through the transformation of “verbal signs” into “nonverbal sign systems”, as well as adherence to the “cultural reality” called for by Bassnett and Lefevere. The study assesses the extent to which each adaptation was a successful reinterpretation of the Peter Pan story according to the “gains” and “losses” that occurred in each case, and concludes that all the adaptations exhibited some successful elements, but that the later adaptations, less concerned with textual fidelity, were often the most successful recreations. Keywords Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird (1902), Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), Peter and Wendy (1911), Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Would not Grow Up (1928), proposed film script of Peter Pan (c. 1920), intersemiotic translation, palimpsest, adaptation, stage, film, silent film, graphic novel, children’s literature, equivalence, Peter Panzerfaust (2012- ), film adaptation, “cultural turn”, Bassnett and Lefevere, Hutcheon, Jakobson. i Acknowledgements I would firstly like to thank Prof. A.M. de Lange and the Research Unit: Language and Literature in the South African Context, NWU-Potchefstroom. Their financial support, with regards to academic bursaries and a grant to attend the Alice Through the Ages Conference (September, 2015) at Homerton College, Cambridge, are greatly appreciated. The latter grant also allowed me a few invaluable days of research at the British Library in London. Special thanks are also due to Elsa van Tonder and Bernice McKenzie for their administrative help and guidance. To my supervisor Dr M. du Plessis-Hay, thank you for all your time, effort, support and patience with a student who was thinking more of Neverland than academics. This dissertation would not have been possible without your thoughtful edits and advice. I am also grateful to Dr Y.V. Botha, who served as assistant supervisor, for helping me with the theoretical approaches in chapter 2. To the librarians of the British Library, my sincerest gratitude for their helpful suggestions and keeping me in love with old books. Thank you to Wynand, my family and friends for their continual support and love. ii Table of Contents Abstract .................................................................................................................................. i Keywords ................................................................................................................................ i Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................. ii Sources of illustrations ........................................................................................................... v List of Tables ......................................................................................................................... xi Notes on citation ................................................................................................................... xii Chapter 1: Introduction ....................................................................................................... 1 Contextualisation and problem statement .............................................................................. 1 Context: catching the wonders of Neverland .............................................................. 3 Research questions .................................................................................................... 6 Basic hypothesis ........................................................................................................ 7 Approach and methodology ........................................................................................ 8 Literature review .................................................................................................................. 10 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................... 15 Chapter 2: Theoretical contexts ........................................................................................ 17 “The art of repeating stories” ................................................................................................ 17 Adaptation as translation .......................................................................................... 18 Translation as adaptation ......................................................................................... 25 Palimpsest ............................................................................................................... 30 The graphic novel as a form of literature .............................................................................. 32 Origins and seminal works ....................................................................................... 32 A little bit of chaos: defining the terms comic and graphic novel ............................... 38 Conclusion ........................................................................................................................... 42 Chapter 3: James and Peter: Barrie’s versions of the Peter Pan story .......................... 44 An overview of J.M.

DRAFTING COLLARS ADJUSTMENT FOR PETER PAN COLLAR Collars can also be drafted from scratch and added to your blouse and dress patterns. My favorite vintage-style collar is the Peter Pan collar, which I incorporated into the blouse variation on page 160. It can be added to any blouse, jacket, or dress with a round neckline, and it will make the most basic garment ooze charm! Depending on how you style a Peter Pan collar, it can look ladylike or playful, 1930s glam or 1960s mod. Once you understand the basics of making a Peter Pan collar, you can apply this knowledge to any shape or size collar you like. For the purpose A. Overlap shoulder seams. of this little design project, let’s use a 1940s button-back blouse as our base. The basic premise of drafting a collar like this is that you use the neckline of your garment as your guide—the basic shape of your collar is right there! So start by laying out your blouse front and back pattern pieces on a table. Use a colored pencil to draw in the neckline and shoulder seam lines on your pattern pieces.

  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt
    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).
