Journals
Adaptation
https://academic.oup.com/adaptation
Adaptation is the leading international, peer-reviewed journal of adaptation studies. The journal actively contributes to the development and visibility of adaptation studies as a field of academic enquiry and seeks to advance methodological approaches to the process.
Literature/Film Quarterly
https://lfq.salisbury.edu/#gsc.tab=0
Literature/Film Quarterly is the longest standing international journal devoted to the study of adaptation. Founded in 1973 by Jim Welsh and Tom Erskine, the journal has for over forty years served as a forum for scholars and writers to discuss, debate, and articulate various ways of conceptualizing adaptation, whether in the more traditional considerations of transforming fiction and drama into film or in the more recent reflections on intertextuality, adaptation theory, and other related concerns.
Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance
https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/jafp
The Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance argues for adaptation, or the conversion of oral, historical or fictional narratives into stage drama as a practice that has been common for centuries. In our own time the processes of cross-generic transformation continue to be extremely important in theatre as well as in the film and other media industries. Adaptation and the related areas of translation and intertextuality continue to have a central place in our culture with a profound resonance across our civilisation.
Transcr(é)ation
https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/transcreation/
Transcr(é)ation is a specialty journal dedicated to intermediality and the dialogues between texts and films, without prioritizing either. This term has been borrowed from translation studies in order to shed some light on the benefits of such a dialogue between the media.
