  3. Appropriation and Transformation • Appropriation • Using the material from one text/ source in a new text. This is part of the process of transformation. • An example would be adapting a play to a film. Taming of the Shrew is appreciated and updated into Ten Things I Hate About You. • Stories are often appropriated because they hold “truths” about the human condition (human emotion and human nature) which cross all social, historical and cultural boundaries. • Transformations are texts that have been appropriated (the central ideas have been copied from another text). • A type of intertextuality. • Good ideas and stories never really die. We update them, change them into our favourite format (be it a novel, song, film etc) and reproduce them.
