An adaptation study Linderholt, Hanna January 2022 (has links) This essay explores how different forms of othering are applied in the novel Shadow and Bone compared to the tv-series adaptation. The essay will focus on how differ ent forms of othering are used to characterize the main character Alina Starkov as well as the community called Grisha. In order to compare the changes this essay uti lizes adaptation theory and Gérard Genette’s hypertextuality. To further understand the different forms of othering the essay relies on studies of racism and its connec tion to the fantasy genre. The essay concludes that different forms of othering are used in the novels compared to the tv-series. The novels use othering to characterize Alina based on her Grisha identity. As the tv-series has given Alina a whole new identity as multiracial, it is rather her ethnicity that is the foundation for her other ing. While the tv-series displays a more diverse cast than the novels, it also fails to provide a rich presentation of Grisha culture and history. adaptation hypertextuality racism othering other suburban fantasy Shadow and Bone adaption hypertextualitet rasism othering de andra suburban fantasy Shadow and Bone General Literature Studies Litteraturvetenskap
