Index
• It is the first sustained scholarly work on screen adaptations of
Doña Bárbara.
• This study suggests a new way of studying film adaptations by
paying consistently attention to how these adaptations have been
received by audiences: in fact, the monograph is the first work to
combine screen adaptation theories with the more recent approaches
of fandom studies.
• By focussing on Spanish-language case studies and fan
communities, Doña Bárbara Unleashed makes an important contribution
to fandom studies scholarship, which is predominantly Anglophone.
'Doa Brbara Unleashed will be of specific interest to scholars and students working on both Latin American Literature and Culture. Moreover, due its critical engagement with screen adaptation theories, and particularly its way of putting different adaptations of the same source text into dialogue with each other, the monograph will be useful for non-Hispanist scholars and students working on screen adaptations. The monograph's further engagement with fandom theories and fan comments makes it an attractive and helpful volume for scholars and students working on fandom studies.
