I was massively grateful to be able to attend, meaning that there was only one of the top echelon team missing from proceedings (Randy Byers), who due to the exigencies of work, would only have been able to flit in for barely two days of Desperate Fun. Them Chungas know their fanac though, don’t they just? Andy Hooper’s sterling contributions to the program in particular and the whole event in general might have led the proverbial Martian drop-in to conclude that it was another of his Corflus after all.

All the right people were there, and the parties—the heart o± any convention as far as I’m concerned—were great.

  • The Study of Novelisation: a Typology and Secondary Bibliography
    Belphégor Thomas Van Parys K.U. Leuven The study of novelisation: A typology and secondary bibliography The phenomenon of novelisation is remarkably widely underresearched, even within adaptation studies, which has generally limited itself – until quite recently – to the one-sided direction of literature to film. Considering that the field of ‘film and literature’, which has vigorously started emancipating itself over the past decade, has traditionally been regarded as only a subfield of film studies, it is obvious that the study of novelisation is rather marginal in the grand scholarly universe, in the film department as well as the literature department. While film adaptation studies focus on the adaptation from novel to film, literary science is primarily occupied with the study of highbrow literature. Needless to say, novelisations are widely derided and discarded as low forms of paraliterature. But the genre is peripheral in content as well, since the novelisation is a ‘hybrid’ form, often mixing film, literature, screenplay, and even film photography into one package. It is in other words ‘the odd novel out’ in the disciplinary academic world. Here I make a plea for more attention to novelisations, not to demand respectability for these novels per se (for bad writing is unfortunately the rule rather than the exception), but to show its significance and ubiquity as a cultural and literary practice. The novelisation is ideally suited to refine, modify, and perhaps subvert the typical pet peeves in film adaptation studies, such as the assumption of linearity or the notion of fidelity. In this essay, though, I will not concern myself much with the theoretical implications or the historical roots of novelisation.
