🔆 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.

Opening text for the call: "...Whether it be fears of technological overreach, social alienation, and the ethical boundaries of human ambition, or concerns over science, identity, and power in the broader sense, FRANKENSTEIN still retains its global allure and timeless appeal, owing significantly to its adaptations on screen and on television." Further details about the call. Chapters for the volume have already been outlined. Inquiries and submissions should be directed to adaptingfrankenstein@gmail.com

RIP Robert Redford, one of the best to ever do it.
Robert Redford, impeccably dressed but horribly miscast as Jay Gatsby in the 1974 film adaptation of Fitzgerald's novel. He stands with furrowed brow in front of an early-20th century hot rod parked outside an opulent mansion
