Sommario/riassunto

The diary of Heinrich Witt (1799-1892) is the most extensive private diary written in Latin America known to us today. Witt was born in Altona near Hamburg and went to Peru in 1824 for the English merchant house Gibbs. In his diary written in English, he describes his childhood and youth in Altona, his first professional years in England and his daily life and long voyages in Peru and to Europe. The diary gives a unique version of commerce and trade, politics and politicians, and of lawsuits and corruption in nineteenth-century Peru and abroad.



It abounds in details about family life, customs and culture, and is a truly unique source for everyone interested in the history of Peru and of international trade and migration.

Sommario/riassunto

"This welcome collection of critical essays provides powerful arguments for adaptation studies to open itself to a wider array of texts outside the traditional canon. And by allowing Turkish adaptations to talk back to the orientalizing impulse that has long marginalized them, it raises a number of pointed questions about assumptions Euro-American scholars continue to make about the native cinemas they think they know so well." -Thomas Leitch, Unidel Andrew B. Kirkpatrick, Jr. Chair in Writing, University of Delaware "This volume provides an engaging account of the ways various Turkish cultural products are positioned within the field of adaptation studies. Collectively, the essays deftly delineate adaptation strategies, expertly situating each case study in its



trans-national, industrial and cultural context." -Constantine Verevis, Associate Professor in Film and Screen Studies, Monash University "By asking us to consider the cultural politics of adaptation within Turkish literature and cinema, this collection makes a substantial contribution to the field of adaptation studies. Packed with fascinating and insightful chapters, this book is a genuine pleasure to read and demonstrates that Türkiye's position as a bridge between East and West makes it one of the most significant contexts for studying processes of cultural exchange." -Iain Robert Smith, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, King's College London This edited collection provides a comprehensive exploration of key trends and methodologies in adaptation within the Turkish context, examining how socio-political and economic conditions shape the interaction between texts, cultures, and media industries. With thirteen essays covering adaptation topics from the early 1940s to the present, the collection addresses a diverse range of subjects, including novel-to-film adaptations, film remakes, television series, documentary dramas, stage adaptations, comic books, and the music industry. Seda Öz is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of English at the University of Delaware. Taner Can is an associate professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at TED University.
