Abstract

The cultural transduction framework, introduced in 2014, provides an organized set of concepts to study cases of audiovisual products that have crossed international borders (e.g. through TV format sales). The framework is presented here as an alternative to study adaptations, providing a holistic view of the practice which includes the conscious decision-making process of individuals. Our case study is the Italian book Piccolo mondo: Don Camillo by Giovannino Guareschi, and its posterior incarnations as a transnational film series in the 1950s and a forty-seven-episode TV adaptation to the Colombian context in the late 1980s. We present the various stages of the analysis enabled by the framework to highlight its applicability to the study of adaptations that go beyond the literature-to-screen lineal comparisons to address the process, people, cultural links, and negotiation aspects that take place in the process of bringing an Italian cultural product to Colombian TV sets.
