While adaptation and intersemiotic studies about the classics on screen have been
flourishing, audiovisual translation has comparatively neglected adapted classics,
arguably preferring to focus on TV series, video games and films of all times not
necessarily referred to an illustrious hypotext. This three-day international conference
thus attracted contributions which analysed adapted literature in various media from
the point of view of audiovisual translation. Audiovisual texts inspired by the works of
a variety of writers (including the most adapted authors such as Shakespeare and
Austen), their adaptations and their translations into a number of languages were
discussed.
