- W1520532317 abstract "This thesis is an examination of six films adapted between 1993 and 2000 from novels by Henry James and Edith Wharton: James's The Wings of Dove, The Golden Bowl, The Portrait of a Lady and Wharton's The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth and The Buccaneers. All six films have been claimed as part of costume drama/literary adaptation/heritage genre. The analysis of this cycle of adaptations focuses on visual expression of four key themes: wealth, desire, decorum and social mobility. Dress and art are deployed within visual fabric of these adaptations as symbolic objects that make up what Wharton termed hieroglyphic world of society. In this cycle of films, use of art and dress constitutes a new way of viewing costume and art as elements of adaptation process. Barthes's aspect of third meaning, the passage from language to significance is conveyed through dress and art as sites of visual meaning, a concept that is also deployed by James and Wharton in their fiction. The mise-en-scene of these six adaptations draws inspiration from a variety of artistic influences, ranging from paintings of John Singer Sargent and James Tissot to influence of early cinema and photography. Clothing plays an intrinsic role in both novels and film adaptations, in terms of displaying consumption, social class and character, and it also makes up iconic images created by stars who take on key roles, such as Helen Bonham Carter's portrayal of Kate Croy as a heritage noir (cf. Church Gibson, 2000) femme fatale in film of The Wings of Dove. James and Wharton's narratives represent an expression of 'transcultural aesthetic' making their fiction particularly apt for cinematic adaptation in an era of increased global mobility. This concept of transcultural aesthetic is vital in attempting to widen debate on 'heritage' cinema. While these films and novels share textual themes rooted in settings ranging from late 1870s through to early 1900s, narratives are adapted in ways that make James and Wharton relevant to contemporary cinema audiences, while also reminding us of timelessness of James and Wharton's narratives." @default.
