Station 3: Adaptation

 Welcome to Station 3.....


What do you think about these pictures?






Maybe you have read or watched some of them, RIGHT?

Some of the works presented are adapted from one medium to another. They are transform to make the story alive or to give a different yet similar viewpoint about a certain story. 

This process of transforming works is called "ADAPTATION."

Adaptation refers to the process of taking a pre-existing work and transforming it into a new one in a different medium or format, preserving core themes and ideas while altering form, style, or structure to fit the new setting.

This could involve turning a novel into a film, a play into animation, a poem into a song, or even a historical event into a fictional narrative.

Adaptation can serve various purposes such as reaching new audiences, updating or reimagining a classic work, or providing a fresh perspective on a familiar story.

This concept highlights the relationship between original texts and their transformed versions, showcasing how different cultural or historical contexts can influence interpretation and presentation.

Station 2: Pastiche

 Welcome to Station 2..... Kindly observe this picture... How can you describe a pizza? Maybe you might be curious about the process of making it. Making a pizza is mixing or combining different ingredients. Similar to a pizza, one method of intertextuality is concerned on the mixing of different elements to form a new work.  This method is called "PASTICHE."   The word pastiche comes first from the Italian word pasticcio , which refers to a pie with a mix of diverse ingredients.   Pasticcio, interestingly, comes from the Vulgar Latin word pasticium, meaning “composed of paste,” which might describe how various styles and ideas are pasted together in a pastiche. Pastiche is a literary technique that imitates the style or character of other works, often combining various elements from different sources.   This method of intertextuality is about creating a new literary work by collaging elements from one or more other works.     It blends element...
