Abstract: (27 Views)
This study presents a comparative analysis of the adaptation of the animation “The Castle of Fish” and Attar’s The Conference of the Birds within an interdisciplinary discourse in the fields of comparative literature and adaptation studies. Drawing on Linda Hutcheon’s theory of adaptation, the author examines “The Castle of Fish” not as a simple or direct transformation of the original text, but as an active and creative process involving deep alterations and new interpretations shaped by cultural and social contexts, differences in medium, and audience reception. Based on Hutcheon’s methodological framework, this research explores the adaptation process on three levels: On the first level (the textual), it analyzes differences in themes and plot structures between the two narratives. On the second level (the process), it investigates the changes resulting from the transformation of the written medium of The Conference of the Birds into the visual medium of animation. On the third level (audience experience), it focuses on the creative modifications made by the adapter in consideration of a child audience.The research method is descriptive-qualitative, and data has been collected using qualitative content analysis. The sample was purposefully selected based on indicators of creative adaptation in children's works. The author demonstrates how animated adaptations in children’s visual media can generate new experiences and interpretations of the original story, leading to a reimagining and transformation of meaning within a different cultural and temporal context.
Keywords: Comparative Literature, Adaptation, Linda Hutcheon, The Conference of the Birds, The Castle of Fishes.
