Adapting Spanish Classics for the New Millennium

The Nineteenth-Century Novel Remediated

By: Linda M. Willem

The twenty-first-century's turn away from fidelity-based adaptations toward more innovative approaches has allowed adapters from Spain, Argentina, and the United States to draw upon Spain's rich body of nineteenth-century classics to address contemporary concerns about gender, sexuality, race, class, disability, celebrity, immigration, identity, social justice, and domestic violence. This book provides a snapshot of visual adaptations in the first two decades of the new millennium, examining how novelistic material from the past has been remediated for today's viewers through film, television, theater, opera, and the graphic novel. Its theoretical approach refines the binary view of adapters as either honoring or opposing their source texts by positing three types of adaptation strategies: salvaging (which preserves old stories by giving them renewed life for modern audiences), utilizing (which draws upon a pre-existing text for an alternative purpose, building upon the story and creating a shift in emphasis without devaluing the source material), and appropriation (which involves a critique of the source text, often with an attempt to dismantle its authority). Special attention is given to how adapters address audiences that are familiar with the source novels, and those that are not. This examination of the vibrant afterlife of classic literature will be of interest to scholars and educators in the fields of adaptation, media, Spanish literature, cultural studies, performance, and the graphic arts.

Creative Names With Inspirational Meanings

By: Linda Dean

One quiet evening as I was watching TV with my family, I received a vision that explained to me the need for our children to have a meaning associated with their name. I received this as an assignment to complete for my contribution to humanity. Throughout biblical history, it has been important that names have a meaning, so I had to be obedient and gather as many names as I could that were created, unique or different. I received inner inspiration to write this book, so I had to go within to receive the correct inspirational meaning for each name presented. This assignment has become bigger than I expected because there are so many created, unique and different names given to our children each day. This will be an ongoing assignment for me and I accept the challenge. I am thankful for the vision, the responsibility and the guidance to put this book together and make it available to you. There will be more books with more names and meanings and I know the meanings presented will bless and inspire each and every individual who reads these books as they have blessed and inspired me.
