This presentation will discuss the adapting of series of novels to television, with specific reference to HBO’s Game of Thrones. It will suggest that theories of film adaptation cannot always be successfully applied or translated to television, and that new, medium-specific theories of analysis need to be developed.
Jo Murphy is a postgraduate candidate in ECPS (Film and Television Studies). Her PhD project investigates remaking and adaptation in television. Her MA at University of Otago explored the slasher remake’s status as cumulative hypertext, and was awarded with distinction in 2011. She recently organised the successful Confessional Culture postgraduate conference at Monash.
