Adaptační studia dnes a zítra
Adaptation studies today and tomorrow

Summary/Abstract: This article briefly summarizes previous approaches associated with ideas on adaptation, it describes the contemporary situation in this field and it considers possible forthcoming trends. The author takes his reference point to be debates over his study Twelve Fallacies in Contemporary Adaptation Theory; Criticism XLV, No. 2, 2003, and the publication of Adaptation and Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance. These are associated with a dominant new doctrine of adaptation studies, which adopts a critical stance towards representation options. The author proposes to enhance this negatively defined doctrine both with input from disciplines which are allied and those which are more remote, from intermedia studies to biology and politology, as well as with knowledge from screenwriters’ creative practice regarding how to produce adaptations.
