Beskrivelse af Beckett's Afterlives
Beckett's afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to posthumous reworkings of Samuel Beckett's oeuvre. Contextualised against the backdrop of the author's developing views on adaptation and media specificity, it challenges the long-held belief that he opposed any form of genre crossing. Featuring contemporary engagements with Beckett's work from the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin America, the volume does not approach adaptation as a form of (in)fidelity or (ir)reverence. Instead, it argues that exposing the 'Beckett canon' to new environments and artistic practices enables fresh perspectives and enhances the texts' significance for contemporary artists and audiences alike. The chapters explore a wide variety of forms - from prose and theatre to radio, television, film and webseries - focusing on the period from the early 1990s to the late 2010s. The concept of adaptation is broadly interpreted, including changes within the same performative context, spatial relocations or transpositions across genres and media, and even creative rewritings of Beckett's biography. The collection offers a range of innovative ways to approach the author's work in a constantly changing world and analyses its remarkable susceptibility to creative responses. Beckett's afterlives suggests that adaptation, remediation and appropriation are forms of cultural negotiation that are essential for the survival and continuing urgency and vibrancy of Beckett's work in the twenty-first century.
