Remediating Robert Louis Stevenson's Pacific Fiction. Simon and Edinburgh's Shari Sabeti introduce a major new project with partners in Hawai'i, Samoa and Scotland. The project will produce the first ever multilingual graphic adaptation of the three stories from Robert Louis Stevenson's Island Nights' Entertainments (1893), commission new poetry by indigenous Pacific authors, and develop a set of accompanying teaching resources for use in Samoa, Hawai’i and Scotland. In addition, it will produce the first ever documentary film exploring contemporary Samoan perspectives on Stevenson. See the lecture, given on 13 November 2022, here.

The animations make use of these cartoons as starting points, using public debate about hot topics in the 1870s to provide insights into the tone and topics of public debate today – here.
