Adaptations

An adaptation can be anything from a book based on a movie or the retelling of a classic tale. It is when a story is adapted from another story form or source. Not merely a remake in all cases, some stories are only loosely adapted from original sources or legends.

Geoffrey Miller
Our inherited legacy of adaptatios is literally precious. Even the poorest parents give their children vast riches, in the form of senses, emotions, and mental faculties that have been optimized through millions of years of product development.
Geoffrey Miller, Spent: Sex, Evolution, and Consumer Behavior

Although adaptations are also aesthetic objects in their own right, it is only as inherently double or multilaminated works that they can be theorized as adaptations. An adaptation’s double nature does not mean, however, that proximity or fidelity to the adapted text should be the criterion of judgment or the focus of analysis.
Linda Hutcheon, A Theory of Adaptation
