Abstrakt:

This paper calls for new versions, or rewritings (Lefevere 1992), of Nabokov’s 1955 (in) famous novel Lolita. The call is a reaction to the features found in Adrian Lyne’s 1997 film adaptation and the respective AVT versions of Lyne’s and Kubrick’s 1962 adaptations, which seem to support popular visions of Lolita that do not fit in with current sensitivities regarding the topic nor, it is argued, with a deeper, more careful reading of Nabokov’s work. For years, there have been calls for Lolita or some of its adaptations to be cancelled as indecent or immoral, while many of those who market the Lolita ‘brand’ do so from a very similar (smutty) interpretation of the story. This study sets out to show how Lolita can serve the purpose of denouncing child abuse and sexual exploitation, and there is ample textual evidence in the novel to prove it.
