Abstract

Christina Wilkins' I Embodying Adaptation: Character and the Body i is one of the most vital and stimulating interventions in adaptation studies, screen studies, and acting studies that I have read in some time. Chapter four is perhaps the book's strongest, as it challenges the traditional hierarchies of the actor inhibiting the character: 'it is the demands of the character that are shaping and reshaping the actor's body and their emotions - the character is adapting the actor's body in order to make itself visible.
