Ankara : The Department of Communication and Design, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2011.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2011.Includes bibliographical references leaves 128-136.This study aims to depict the fact that adaptations are
all kind of intertextual texts in the postmodern world
where every text undergoes a process of adaptation. With
the aims of pointing at this dialogic process, the term
“retelling” is used both for the adaptation processes and
products throughout the thesis, instead of the term
adaptation. Keeping this in mind, the thesis examines the
fairy tales “Snow White” and “Little Red Riding Hood”
with their retellings both in literature and film. These
analyses include structural, narrative and feminist
criticisms as well as the consideration of the affects of
postmodernism. Through these evaluations it becomes clear
that while some retellings pose a very contradictory
point of view for the tales abovementioned, some still
adjust to the traditional ideological teachings of the
earlier versions of the tales.Aydeniz, HaticeM.S
