Abstract

U knjizi Teorija adaptacije, Linda Hutcheon razjašnjava što je točno adaptacija te kako i u kojem kontekstu ona nastaje. Predlaže podjelu načina izlaganja neke priče na tri vrste: kazivanje (npr. roman), prikazivanje (npr. film) i interakcija (npr. videoigrice). Cilj je ovog rada usporediti knjigu Johna Ajvide Lindqvista Låt den rätte komma in s istoimenom filmskom adaptacijom Tomasa Alfredssona koristeći knjigu Linde Hutcheon kao teorijski okvir. Na primjeru ove knjige i filma prikazuju se razlike u načinu na koji se priča iznosi u knjizi i u filmu te posljedice adaptacije tj. promjene medija na originalni tekst. Analizira se način na koji se određeni efekti postižu književnim odnosno filmskim postupcima, npr. izazivanje straha kod publike. Hutcheonin pojam transkulturalizacije – načina na koji se tekst mijenja kad se adaptira za publiku koja pripada različitoj kulturi od kulture u kojoj je nastao originalni tekst – demonstrira se na primjeru filma Let me in u režiji Matta Reevesa, američke adaptacije Låt den rätte komma in.

Abstract (english)

In her book, A Theory of Adaptation, Linda Hutcheon explains what exactly is an adaptation as well as how and in which context it is created. She proposes three different modes of presenting a story: the telling mode (novels), the showing mode (films) and the interactive mode (videogames). The goal of this text is to compare John Ajvide Lindqvist’s book Låt den rätte komma in with Thomas Alfredssons eponymous film adaptation while using Hutcheon’s book as a theoretic frame. On the example of said book and film, I show differences in the way a story is told in a book versus in a film and the effects of adapting, that is, changing the medium of the original text. I analyse the way certain effects are achieved by using literary versus filmic devices, such as evoking fear in the audience. Hutcheon’s concept of transculturalization – the way in which a text changes when it is adapted for an audience of a different culture than that in which the original text was created – is demonstrated on the example of the film Let me in by Matt Reeves, which is the american adaptation of Låt den rätte komma in.
