include adaptation in theory, Miss Austen mashed up in the affinity spaces of participatory culture, a case study of Tim Buron's Planet of the Apes, the adaptations and appropriations of Joseph
Conrad's fiction, the ambivalences of appropriation and adaptation in Tamasha's Wuthering Heights, and transcultural adaptation and regional identity in Ayub Khan-Din's Rafta, Raftra. Only
