O knihe

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Film Science, grade: B, University of Burdwan (Golapbag Campus), course: MA, language: English, abstract: Film studies have faced a great change in this postmodern era. It has moved from reality to hyper-reality, text to hypertext, radio to television and modernity to postmodernity. Electronics and digital media have overtaken the print media and eclipsed it. Fredric Jameson in his book Postmodernism says, "the priority of film over literature in jolting us out of print culture and/ or logocentrism, it remained an essentially modernist formulation, locked in a set of cultural values and categories which are in full Postmodernism demonstrably antiquated and "historical." That film has today become postmodernist...".

Postmodernism blurs the boundary between high and low. Linda Hutcheon opines that "An adaptation is not vampiric: it does not draw the life-blood from its source and leave it dying or dead, nor is it paler than the adapted work. It may, on the contrary, keep that prior work alive, giving it an afterlife it would never have had otherwise". It transposes one genre to another. Both the film and the literature are equally valuable.
