Frankenstein adaptations; literature; popular culture
Abstract :
[en] This paper examines the evolution of cultural attitudes towards scientific progress in relation to notions of the human by comparing Mary Shelley's 1818 novel to different screen adaptations, including adaptations by James Whale (1931), Kenneth Branagh (1994) and the X-Files episode 'The Postmodern Prometheus' (1997). A strong emphasis is put on both oral and visual intertextuality.
