Multimodality is an approach that allows the study of film adaptations as if they were translations. While translations change the language of texts, adaptations transpose content from a medium to another. Film adaptations, as well as translations, are influenced by different factors such as audience, medium, social context, adapters, economic context, or the conventions of a film genre. The Color Purple (1982), written by Alice Walker, is a novel that tells the life full of abuse of an African American girl until she becomes an adult. Its film adaptation (1985) had to follow the conventions of the dramatic film genre and comply with American film industry conventions. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the representation of the experiences of African-American women in the book The Color Purple (1982) and the representation in its film adaptation to then compare the meaning constructed in both mediums. For this purpose, the data collection techniques we will use are content analysis and multimodal contrastive analysis. Additionally, we will employ the model of adaptation shifts proposed by Perdikaki (2017b) and the elements of the cinematic discourse (Sikov, 2010).
