General Prerequisites
This is a seminar/workshop based course. Therefore, attendance is mandatory (only two absences are excused during the semester). We will not take attendance for the first class which is the students' chance to audit. Attendance will begin in the second class. No new students are allowed from the third class onwards. Students who do not attend cannot be evaluated.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the semester, the student will be able to:
1. Recognize and justify which adaptation category a film belongs to,
2. apply the narrative methodological tools in a comparative film/source analysis, and
3. critically evaluate the film text that is based on another source.
General Competences

Course Content (Syllabus)
This course/seminar introduces the student to the concept of adaptation, examines its history and presents the main theoretical and methodological tools, that are drawn from semiotics and narratology. The students will be able to apply the various theories to specific cinematic and televisual texts that are adapted from various sources (theatre, literature, comics, etc.), while the comparative analysis will assist their theoretical and critical abilities.
