  • The Pleasure of the Intertext: Towards a Cognitive Poetics of Adaptation
    !1 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION A dissertation presented by Meg Tarquinio to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2017 !2 THE PLEASURE OF THE INTERTEXT: TOWARDS A COGNITIVE POETICS OF ADAPTATION by Meg Tarquinio ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Literature in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2017 !3 ABSTRACT The field of adaptation studies has been diagnosed as lacking consensus around its main tenets, especially those that would build a strong ontological foundation. This study participates in the burgeoning critical approach that places cognitive science in conversation with literary theory, looking towards the start of a cognitive turn in adaptation studies. Specifically, I offer the axiom that adaptations are analogies. In other words, I advance the original argument that adaptations are the textual expression of the cognitive function of analogy. Here, I’m using a cognitive theory of analogy as the partial mapping of knowledge (objects and relations) from a source domain to a target domain. From this vantage point, I reassess the theoretical tensions and analytical practices of adaptation studies. For instance, the idea of essence is an anathema within academic studies of adaptation, yet it continues to hold sway within popular discourse. My approach allows for a productive return to essence, not as some mystical quality inherent in an original text and then indescribably transmitted to its adaptation, but as the expression of a key sub-process of analogical reasoning – what Douglas Hofstadter refers to, conveniently, as “essence” or “gist extraction.” This line of argument demonstrates the degree to which André Bazin’s 1948 theorization of adaptation is in line with this cognitive version of essence.

  • Judicial Profile: Abby Abinanti
    ABBY ABINANTI Abinanti's goal: to help youth who come before her Dennis J. Opatrny The Recorder December 17, 2002 A 12-year-old accused of prostitution is almost swallowed up by the chair she is sitting in as San Francisco Superior Court Commissioner Abby Abinanti reads her probation report. The judge notes the child is from Alameda County, which means her case is probably going to become that county's problem. "You intend to send her back?" Abinanti asks the juvenile probation officer. "Have you found a place to send her?" The answer is, not yet. "Try to find a place," the commissioner says, ordering the child to remain in San Francisco custody while the two counties work out where to place her. Abinanti says she has just one goal: to help the kids who come before her. "Like today, we have a prostitute who's in the fifth grade," Abinanti said. "Where am I supposed to send this kid?" Abinanti is presiding over the detention calendar at the Youth Guidance Center, where she must decide what to do with youthful offenders, many of whom have nowhere to go. Her job is probably one of the most difficult for a judge, since she often deals with pre-teens whose families have turned their backs on them. She must punish the child for his or her crime, while looking into the future to decide how to keep the youngster from becoming a habitual criminal. Abinanti laments the limited resources available to her. "The most difficult part of being out here is that people really don't understand juvenile law that well," Abinanti says in an interview.
