🔆 LFA/AAS Joint Conference (ONLINE ONLY): Adaptation and Collaboration, 19-20 Feb 2026

✍️ Submit your proposal here by 1 December 2025: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
LFA/AAS Online Conference 2026: Adaptation and Collaboration February 19-20, 2026 When the online joint LFA/AAS conference began in the heyday of a global pandemic, the goal and theme was connection: to meet and mingle with scholars from across the world when circumstances made in-person connection untenable. Now, with half a decade under our belts and increasingly complex global problems facing our cultures and communities, it becomes crucial to think about the ways that adaptations (and adaptation scholars) of all kinds can find strength through an ethic and theory of collaboration, one that recognizes the ways adaptations have always been collaborative and explores new possibilities for intergroup cooperation We invite scholars from all disciplines to submit 8-10 minute presentations on the intersection of textual adaptation (intertextuality, intermediality, industries, and auteurs) and collaboration (cooperation, collective action, interdisciplinarity, and academic partnerships) writ broadly. While we welcome any unique interpretations of this theme, possible approaches could include: Adaptation as a collaborative practice between authors and adapters, readers and viewers, scholars and practitioners, or texts and technologies Adapting (with) non-human collaborators Adaptations that theorize or explore themes of collaboration and collective action Adaptation’s role in collaborative pedagogies Adapting for the sake of international/interdisciplinary collaboration Adapting collaborative technologies for artistic production and cultural reception We particularly encourage presentations and panels which foster cooperation across disciplines and/or bring the spirit of collaboration into the panel format itself – experimentation is welcome! Please submit abstracts using this Google Form by 1 December 2025. All inquiries may be directed to adaptationjointconference@gmail.com We will notify everyone whose proposals are accepted for presentation by mid-December.

I am fascinated by the Unfilmable Book designation.

We don’t say Unalbumable Book or Unpaintable Pop Single or Unstageable Sculpture.

The book-to-film pipeline was powerful from the dawn of film but so were plays, short stories, magazine pieces, paintings-to-film

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a monster.

You can only pick one. I’m sorry.

I haven't seen an adaptation studies #starterpack doing the rounds, so thought I'd create it myself! One for you if you're interested in #adaptation in a cultural context in all of its wonderfully various forms. Let me know in the replies if you'd like to be added.

If you could bring an author forward in time to watch or otherwise engage with an adaptation of their work, who and what would it be?

I’d like to show Austen Clueless, Dickens Muppet Christmas Carol, and Shakespeare 10 Things I Hate About You!

do you think if you took Victor Hugo forward in time to see a stage musical adaptation of Les Mis he'd be like "this shit's fire"
