ABSTRACT

Adaptation theory and cross-media translation have emerged as central areas of inquiry in literary, film, and cultural studies due to the increasing movement of stories across diverse media platforms. From novels transformed into films to myths recreated through web series, graphic novels, digital games, and streaming content, adaptation reflects the dynamic relationship between text, technology, and audience reception. This research paper examines the conceptual foundations of adaptation theory, explores the evolution of cross-media translation, and analyzes how narratives are transformed when shifting from one medium to another. Drawing upon the works of theorists such as Linda Hutcheon, Robert Stam, André Bazin, Roland Barthes, and Marshall McLuhan, the study investigates the aesthetic, ideological, and cultural implications of adaptation. The paper also discusses fidelity criticism, intertextuality, transmediality, and audience interpretation in contemporary adaptation practices. Through selected examples from Indian and global cinema, the paper argues that adaptation is not merely a process of reproduction but an act of reinterpretation and creative negotiation shaped by cultural, technological, and ideological contexts.

ABSTRACT

This research aims to develop a standardized installation guideline for Athangudi tiles by combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary construction practices. This research focuses on the tile installation techniques so that the traditional practice of making of the tile by artisan community can still be maintained without being disrupted, instead serving as a guideline for laying of the artisan made tiles through a detailed review of literature regarding athangudi tiles, analysis of artisan methods for the installation of tiles, and comparative analysis of existing flooring standards of Marble/ Granite, the study identifies the crucial parameters influencing installation quality. The expected outcome of the study are step-by-step guidelines that can serve as a reference material for architects, interior designers, and masons emphasizing key procedures to be followed for the proper installation of Athangudi Tiles. By systemizing the tile installation and handling processes, this research seeks to spread works of these artisan communities through awareness methods for the masons to learn the laying technique through workshops, exhibitions, entrepreneurial centre.
