Abstract:

Adaptation from page to screen is a fruitful research path, which has challenged the canonized status of the source texts, especially classics, when these are presented in different media, contexts and languages. In this paper, we explore what screen adaptations may add to the previous written material. We examine the adaptation of Unorthodox (Schrader 2020), a miniseries based on Deborah Feldman’s autobiography Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots (2012), which gained notoriety in 2020. We focus on multilingualism and music, as prominent audiovisual elements in the page-toscreen adaptation, that help characterise the different communities in the series, and their role to shape characters’ identities. Linguistic diversity is covered differently in the book and in the series: one of the main differences is how multilingualism becomes a tool to coin characters’ identities and how music is thematized to portray, through audiovisual resources, the protagonist’s rebellion. It becomes a metaphor of freedom and subversion.
