Summary
Traditionally, verisimilitude in literary, audiovisual, or artistic works focused on accurately representing the historical context of characters in terms of their gender identity, ethnicity, physical appearance, or sexuality. This study aims to investigate the recent phenomenon of inclusive rewriting with a historical background in its adaptation to new media, exemplified by cases such as Queen Charlotte, King Arthur, Hamlet, or Macbeth, which are reinterpreted in works like Fat Ham (Ijames, 2022), Avalon High (Gillar, 2010), Voodoo Macbeth (Welles, 1936), Hamlet the film (Zeffirelli, 2015), or Bridgerton (Netflix, 2020). Methodologically, it proposes an interdisciplinary approach combining comparative and intermedial studies with gender theory and postcolonial perspectives. Thus, it will apply and expand upon the Adaptation 2.0 Comparative Studies on Intermediality model (Gil González and Pardo, 2018), building on critical studies such as Feminism Without Borders (Mohanty, 2003) and Post-Colonial Studies (Ashcroft, 2007). The general objective is to analyze the factors characterizing this new wave of activist fictions, capable of promoting new social values.
