Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Western Ontario (Canada), 2010.

Through a matrix of feminist textual, media, literary, and gender criticism, this study examines strategies of textual adaptation as a means for self-adaptation in a selection of contemporary novels by American, British, and Canadian women writers. I conceive of the female adaptor figure, as an "authored author" within original feminist fiction, which uses various techniques and tropes of adaptation to repeat differently received origin stories that inscribe women's bodies and writing as abnormal. The adaptor figure's origin story is, I suggest, one of monstrous adaptation and change. Performed in and through her material technologies of writing, the adaptor's multiple, mutable, and mobile subjectivity enables her survival within and in resistance to her gender, class, race, and sexual discrimination.

520 $a Through a matrix of feminist textual, media, literary, and gender criticism, this study examines strategies of textual adaptation as a means for self-adaptation in a selection of contemporary novels by American, British, and Canadian women writers. I conceive of the female adaptor figure, as an "authored author" within original feminist fiction, which uses various techniques and tropes of adaptation to repeat differently received origin stories that inscribe women's bodies and writing as abnormal. The adaptor figure's origin story is, I suggest, one of monstrous adaptation and change. Performed in and through her material technologies of writing, the adaptor's multiple, mutable, and mobile subjectivity enables her survival within and in resistance to her gender, class, race, and sexual discrimination.
520 $a A figure that is adaptative of prior forms of women's writing, and responsive to emergent queer, post-colonial, and diasporic theories, I chart the development and ongoing transformation of the adaptor figure in print and digital fiction writing by Daphne Marlatt, Kathy Acker, Jeanette Winterson, Shelley Jackson, Octavia Butler, and Hiromi Goto. Although these authors' adaptors use different modes of adaptation what I describe in each respective chapter as graphic, cybertextual, temporal, and queer diasporic, they are all related insofar as their ex-centric and fantastic monstrousness enables their adaptability. This study advances adaptation as the focus of a new feminist literary perspective that, through the figure of the adaptor, promotes experiential diversity, embodied difference, and an adaptative critical reading perspective that encourages considering, without collapsing their differences together, multiple readings of feminist fiction that make up its broader intertextual, contextual, and critical corpus.
