description This article considers the issue of adaptation through a historical review of this artistic and creative process in one of the most important countries in the Arab world: Egypt. Adaptation had been a constant phenomenon in Egyptian literature since the late nineteenth century. It then established itself in Egyptian cinema and later, from the early 1960s, on Egyptian TV. Resulting from an interaction between cultures, as well as between arts, the process of adaptation draws on a source-text in order to create a new work, either written or filmed. This process has been more popular than ever over the last decade. This is brilliantly depicted in Bint ismahā Ḏāt, a TV series directed by Kamla Abouzekri and Khairy Beshara from a script written by Mariam Naoum. The script was adapted from the novel Ḏāt written by Sonallah Ibrahim in 1993. The TV fiction was then presented to viewers in 2013. How does this adaptation introduce something new into the Egyptian TV drama landscape? We will focus on the ways in which the drama questions the source-text, by delineating processes of amplification, reduction or elimination of specific elements.
