Description:
A psychoanalytic approach to screen adaptation that examines the role of deep-rooted desire evident in the persisting media practice of adaptation from literature to film.




The prevalence of adaptations in cinema from literary texts is striking. What does this lead us to think about adaptation? This open access book answers this question from a psychoanalytic perspective by exploring the psychic dynamics underlying screen adaptation as a practice, offering an intriguing window into the desire for adaptation beyond semiotic parameters and industrial factors.




Through a series of examples from Hamlet and Hitchcock, to Kubrick's The Shining, and Jonze's Adaptation the book theorizes film adaptations in relation to their originals. Drawing on the theories of Freud and Lacan, Hee-seung Irene Lee rigorously explains psychoanalytic concepts such as desire, the drive, the Oedipus complex, the uncanny, and anxiety, which are prevalent and remain useful in the vast field of cultural studies. As a result, readers can easily follow the book's case studies of canonical film adaptations with interest.




At the same time, the author attempts to challenge, expand, and renew the usual definition of film adaptation. This fosters interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophical and psychoanalytic speculations on subjectivity and frames adaptation not merely as a specific mode of filmmaking but a universal, primordial task of every speaking being.

Great resource!
Format: Paperback
This dermatology resource is great. Created by some of the authors that wrote very good dermatology books. This deck is very colorful and has a lot of explanations. It shows different stages of the various skin conditions. It also gives detailed things to look for and treatment recommendations on the back of each card. Only negative is that the pages are a bit thin. Overall great resource!

This are exactly what you’d expect, except cheaper than those review courses trying to sell them to you. Great pictures- great info on the back of each card regarding pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Incredible reference tool
Format: Paperback
I love it & my preceptor thinks it’s amazing too! However, she did bring to my attention the poor representation of African Americans & how they’re under represented in derm as a whole !!! Maybe the updated versions will be more inclusive !!!!
