‘Adaptaciones Perras’: Fidelity Turned Against the Patriarchate

This panel will use the notion of fidelity to study works by contemporary Spanish and Latin American filmmakers and writers that, in spite of presenting major deviations from the text deemed as ‘original’ by the cultural apparatus, call themselves adaptations. In turn, these ‘adaptaciones perras’ will be (r)evaluated from a Feminist position. Are these changes the result of formal incompatibilities, of sexual/gender differences, or more the effect of a will to subvert the Patriarchate? Please send an abstract of your paper (200-300 words) to rgarciae@spanport.umass.edu (Ramiro Garcia-Olano).
