My project explores the degree to which computer gaming changes how we think about literary adaptation. Literary adaptation almost always presupposes the existence of some more genuine antecedent, so that a family resemblance exists between the original and its adaptation. Their relation, moreover, must be necessarily hierarchical, the adaptation standing on some fundamental level as a revision of an original. Yet, adaptations are by their nature transformative since they usually take shape in a medium or form different from the object adapted. One such new medium is the video gaming industry, whose adaptations of literary texts -- among them the iPhone's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2010) and xBox's Dante's Inferno (2010) -- abandon most of the assumptions just outlined. My project looks to the recent practice of adapting canonical texts into digital game format in order to ask two questions: (1) do such cultural objects force us to rethink adaptation?, and (2) does playing a specific subject position present a new mode of spectatorship?
