The Association of Adaptation Studies
was formed in 2006.
The Association is a registered charity in the UK (charity
number 1133677). Our object is "The advancement of education for the public benefit in Adaptation Studies, being the
study of adaptation of literature to film, film to literature and transmedia adaptations across different disciplines and
educational sectors."
The Association
provides opportunities for teachers, students and academics to meet and extend the field of adaptation studies. We also
seek to provide opportunities for students and young scholars to participate more fully in these academic debates.

The journal of the AAS, ADAPTATION, is published twice in a year by Oxford University Press. The
first issue appeared in 2008.
This is the sixth annual conference of the Association
of Adaptation Studies: previous venues have included Leicester (De Montfort University), London (British Film Institute),
Amsterdam (University of Amsterdam) and Berlin (Humboldt University).
Full reports on previous conferences have been included
in the journal ADAPTATION.
Latest news from the AAS (30 June 2011)
The winner of our 2011 student
essay prize is Clare Parody for ‘Franchising/Adaptation’. Congratulations to Clare for an excellent essay which
will appear in the journal Adaptation. Submissions for the 2012 competition
are due by 2nd April 2012 and should be e-mailed to djc@dmu.ac.uk.
Papers are also invited for a one-day conference at De Montfort University on ‘fringe
areas’ of adaptations, elements often overlooked in the study of screen adaptations. We welcome papers on areas
such as costume, music, soundtracks, gaming, franchising, merchandising, casting, locations, promotions, authorial interventions,
or anything else that has normally been forgotten in mainstream work in adaptation studies. Proposals should be sent to Deborah
Cartmell (djc@dmu.ac.uk) by December 2, 2011.
