Despite the steady rise in adaptations of Samuel Beckettâ (TM)s work
across the world following the authorâ (TM)s death in 1989, Beckettâ
(TM)s afterlives is the first book-length study dedicated to this
creative phenomenon. The collection employs interrelated concepts of
adaptation, remediation and appropriation to reflect on Beckettâ (TM)s
own evolving approach to crossing genre boundaries and to analyse the
ways in which contemporary artists across different media and diverse
cultural contexts â " including the UK, Europe, the USA and Latin
America â " continue to engage with Beckett. The book offers fresh
insights into how his work has kept inspiring both practitioners and
audiences in the twenty-first century, operating through methodologies
and approaches that aim to facilitate and establish the study of
modern-day adaptations, not just of Beckett but other (multimedia)
authors as well.
