Adaptacja filmowa jako przykład zjawiska intermedialności

The paper considers the problem of adapting literary works in the context of the intermediality phenomenon. The author examines the significance of the latter category, considers the movie as an example of an intermedial text and shows the consequences of ‘translation’ of literature to other media and media transmissions. Intermediality, in the opinion of the author, is a part of the nature of the modern media market, to a large extent shaped by the specific needs of consumers.
