  • Coming Soon . . . Teaching the Contemporaneous Adaptation
    Coming soon . Teaching the Contemporaneous Adaptation Rachel Carroll A range of pedagogic, disciplinary and institutional factors can be inform the construction of a curriculum for a course on film and television adaptations; among these factors, the availability of published scholarship on the set texts (whether literary, film or television) may be a key concern for tutors, students and validating committees alike. These pressures might mean that in some circumstances those adaptations which have attracted significant academic interest are more likely to be adopted than those which have been overlooked, and in this way emerging canons can become self-perpetuating. Of course, the very notion of the canon has been critically contested and its potential complicity in hierarchies of cultural power and value interrogated, especially in relation to gender, class and race. However, questions of canon persist, and perhaps especially so when a field of study is relatively new and where the existence of a demonstrable canon might be seen as a necessary condition for disciplinary credibility. In this context it may seem perverse to focus on adaptations which, by definition, offer no supporting critical apparatus. This chapter seeks to explore the value and benefits of teaching contemporaneous adaptations, by which I mean film or television adaptations whose release or broadcast is concurrent with the delivery of the teaching programme; it will do so through a focus on a specific case study in pedagogic practice - an active learning strategy presented under the title of ‘Adaptation Watch’.i Students participating in the Adaptation Watch exercise are asked to monitor the discourses of publicity and reception which precede and follow a film or television adaptation whose broadcast or release is concurrent with the course of the module.
