f Millicent Marcus and the ethics of adaptation

Millicent Marcus, whose Filmmaking by the Book: Italian Cinema and Literary Adaptation (1993) reframed conversations on filmic adaptation, has shaped generations of students and researchers through her scholarly practice of adapting art and life. In this article, three of her students explain the impact and influence of her teaching and research, a feminist legacy grounded in an ethics of collaboration. This history frames the presentation of the six subsequent articles, developed after a symposium in Marcus’ honour and included in this special issue.
