| Summary: | "What does the striking prevalence of adaptations in cinema lead us to think about adaptation? This open access book answers this question from a psychoanalytic perspective, offering an intriguing window into this mode of filmmaking as a universal, primordial task of every speaking being. Using key examples - from Hamlet and Hitchcock to Kubrick's The Shining and Jones's Adaptation - the book draws on Freud and Lacan to explain concepts such as desire, the drive, the Oedipus complex, the uncanny, and anxiety."-- Provided by publisher. |
