| Summary: | Owen Sheers’s counterfactual wartime novel Resistance (2007) was adapted and released as a film in 2011. The article first gives a brief overview of the film’s reception and the adaptation of the novel before undertaking a detailed comparative analysis of the central scene involving diegetic music in both novel and film. The study focuses on the adjustments—the resonances and resistances—that the transcoding of this scene from one medium to another entails and reflects on how they impact the narrative and its interpretation. |
