Not simply the promotion of general betterment for all, improvement in the British colonial context licensed a superior “master race” to “uplift” its colonized populations—morally, socially, and economically. This book argues that, on the one hand, film adaptations of nineteenth-century novels reveal the arrogance and coercive intentions that underpin contemporary notions of development, humanitarianism, and modernity—improvement’s post-Victorian guises. On the other hand, the book also argues that the films use their nineteenth-century source texts to criticize these same legacies of imperialism. By bringing together film adaptation, postcolonial theory, and literary studies, the book demonstrates that adaptation, as both method and cultural product, provides a way to engage with the baggage of ideological heritage in our contemporary global media environment.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Adaptation studies; Film studies; Nineteenth-century literature; Victorian literature; Victorian novel; L | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-54580-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-54582-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-54580-2 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
