Bonkbuster!

Sex and Popular Romance from the 1950s to the Present Day

Edited by Dr Jo Parsons (Falmouth University)

The Bonkbuster is a baggy and pejorative term which has been applied to a wide ranging and diverse literary form.

11TH INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN FRENCH CONFERENCE CALL FOR PAPERS

University of Alabama  

Precarious Lives/Vies précaires

28-30 March 2024  

In her work, A Theory of Adaptation, Linda Hutcheon describes the term “adaptation” as “[a]n acknowledged transposition of a recognisable other work or works” (2016, p. 8), pointing out that adaptations attract the audience by arousing pleasure and encouraging a reevaluation. One can easily perceive and interpret the original literary work’s intricate relationship with its adaptation through his/her experience and knowledge of the earlier. Adaptations are relished as they revive recognised narratives and stories in a new format, genre and medium. However, “the adaption is not an act of sly plagiarism; it is a deliberate and self-conscious attempt to engage with an original text and offer a new approach or direction.
