Intercultural Screen Adaptation offers a wide-ranging examination of how film and television adaptations (and non-adaptations) interact with the cultural, social and political environments of their national, transnational and post-national contexts. With screen adaptations examined from across Britain, Europe, South America and Asia, this book tests how examining the processes of adaptation across and within national frameworks challenges traditional debates around the concept of nation in film, media and cultural studies. With case studies of films such as Under the Skin (2013) and T2: Trainspotting (2017), as well as TV adaptations like War and Peace (2016) and Narcos (2015 – 2017), Intercultural Screen Adaptation offers readers an invigorating look at adaptations from a variety of critical perspectives, incorporating the uses of landscape, nostalgia and translation.

Michael Stewart is senior lecturer in film at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. He is co-editor of Intercultural Screen Adaptations (2020, EUP). Robert Munro is Lecturer in Digital Media and Communication at Queen Margaret University. His research focuses on Scottish cinema, the video essay, screen industries and film genre. Robert is currently leading a research project funded by Screen Scotland to explore Scotland’s moving image archive in primary schools.
