Title
Cultural transduction and adaptation studies : the concept of cultural proximity
Author
Abstract
This paper looks at the concept of cultural proximity, as suggested by Joseph Straubhaar in his 1991 paper Beyond Media Imperialism: Assymmetrical [sic] Interdependence and Cultural Proximity. It argues that, based on a polysystem study of film noir adaptations from the early 1990s, both cultural proximity and distance may either enhance or inhibit the cross-cultural or cross-generic flow of media content depending on some specific conditioners such as the stability or instability (e. g., success or lack thereof) of the target genre or context and the conservative or innovating function of the adaptations in their target context.
