Summary/Abstract: The relation between literature and film through the history has been one of the most notable and common forms of the relationship between cinema and other arts. Literature, especially novel had great influence on the formation and development of film language and novel played an important role in literary film adaptations. Literature has also benefited from the expression possibilities of cinema in terms of formal features. However, in evaluating this mutual relationship, loyalty to literary texts has been taken as criterion by traditional adaptation understanding and in this respect this relationship and adaptations have generally been dominated by a negative outlook. Today there is a need for a more comprehensive approach that does not rely on the restrictions of dual oppositions of adaptations and offer a broader interpretation space. The main aim of this study is to develop more encompassing and multi-layered aspect on adaptations using Bakhtinyen perspective which has the basis of linking with all possibilities of culture and transcends the limitations of the discourse of loyalty and offers a more encompassing and multi-layered approach.
