Abstract
This final work will describe how two contemporary film adaptations tried to modernize the classic Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus from 1818. In so doing, particular emphasis will be given to the themes of gender and technology. The first film adaptation that will be analysed is Frankenstein, Jed Mercurio’s 2007 film. In this analysis, the theme of gender will be prevalent as Victor Frankenstein has been replaced by a female main character - Victoria Frankenstein. The second film adaptation that will be analysed is Frankenstein, Bernard Rose’s 2015 film. In this analysis, the importance of technology in creating and destroying life will be emphasised. The differences between the novel and the film adaptations, and how they reflect the era in which they were produced (as the main research questions) will help in understanding the importance of social context for the development of this form of media. This work will rely on adaptation theory, respectively the work of Robert Stam as well as theoretical concepts of postfeminism and posthumanism.
Abstract (croatian)
U ovom završnom radu će se opisati način na koji su dvije suvremene filmske adaptacije pokušale osuvremeniti klasično djelo Frankenstein; ili, Moderni Prometej iz 1818. autorice Mary Shelley. U tom nastojanju, posebna pažnja će se pridati temama roda i tehnologije. Prva filmska adaptacija koja će se analizirati je Frankenstein, film redatelja Jeda Mercurio iz 2007. godine. U analizi ovog filma naglasak će biti na temi roda jer je glavna uloga Victora Frankensteina zamijenjena ženskim likom Victorije Frankenstein. Druga filmska adaptacija koja će se analizirati je Frankenstein, film redatelja Bernarda Rose iz 2015 godine. U analizi ovog filma naglasak će biti na prikazu važnosti tehnologije u stvaranju i uništavanju života. Razlike između književnog djela i filmova kao i refleksija vremena u kojima su producirani (kao glavna istraživačka pitanja) će pomoći u razumijevanju važnosti društvenog konteksta za razvoj ove vrste medija. Rad će se osloniti na teoriju adaptacije, odnosno rad autora Roberta Stama kao i teorijske koncepte postfeminizma i posthumanizma.
