Description:	Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk menyiasat hubungan interteks di antara karya Shakespeare Hamlet dengan empat buah novel kurun ke-21 yang diilhamkan oleh Hamlet: The Prince of Denmark nukilan Graham Holderness, Ophelia oleh Lisa Klein, The Dead Fathers Club oleh Matt Haig, dan The Story of Edgar Sawtelle karya David Wroblewski. Hubungan interteks di antara sesebuah karya seni dengan teks penulisan semula secara lazim didwibahagikan kepada persamaan dan perbezaan. Kajian ini menyimpang dari kebiasaan pengkategorian dwibahagian intertekstualiti di antara Hamlet dan novel-novel hasil penulisan semula. Maka intertekstualiti di antara karya Hamlet dengan empat novel yang dipilih berkenaan dianalisis dengan mengambil kira suatu rangka bentuk tiga bahagian. Memandangkan perwatakan di dalam Hamlet menjadi sumber pendebatan yang berterusan dan persaingan sepanjang kurun yang lepas, kajian ini terkekang kepada penyiasatan kepelbagaian penjelmaan watak-watak Hamlet dalam korpus terpilih. Lima watak di dalam karya Hamlet diberikan keutamaan: Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius, Hamlet dan Ghost. Rangka bentuk konseptual yang diguna pakai dalam kajian ini, meskipun bersifat hermeneutik dalam pendekatan hujungnya, beragam tabiinya yang diambil dari beberapa penteori serta ahli falsafah ulung seperti Harold Bloom, Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, dan Hans-Georg Gadamer. Berdasarkan satu rangka bentuk metodologi tiga bahagian, ciri-ciri personaliti yang pelbagai dikategorikan kepada tiga rumus utama yakni, kepatuhan, kontrabezaan, dan kepatuhan-kontrabezaan. Penemuan kajian ini memperlihatkan tiga kategori penjelmaan atau hubungan interteks di antara Hamlet dengan empat novel yang ketara: kumpulan pertama menandakan hubungan interteks yang boleh didwibahagikan contohnya keserupaan dan perbezaan, atau, kepatuhan dan kontrabezaan. Kelas kedua ciri-ciri merangkumi hubungan interteks yang boleh ditetapkan sebagai contoh kepatuhan-kontrabezaan; ciri-ciri ini, walaupun penting, tidak sebanyak ciri-ciri yang secara asing dikategorikan sebagai keserupaan atau perbezaan. Jenis ketiga hubungan interteks terdiri daripada, ciri-ciri yang kelihatan serupa, namun hakikatnya mereka tidak boleh dibandingkan, akibat daripada kemenjadian terasing atau kerana suatu anjakan pendekatan teori terhadap Hamlet atau penulisan semula drama ini. Implikasi utama kajian ini ialah intertekstualiti di antara dua karya sastera tidak semestinya tertakluk kepada rangka bentuk perbandingan dedua atau hubungan dwibahagian yang sering diandaikan terpakai untuk kajian intertekstualiti dalam kesusasteraan penulisan semula.,The objective of the present research is to probe the intertextual relations between Shakespeare's Hamlet and four twenty-first century novels: The Prince of Denmark by Graham Holderness, Ophelia by Lisa Klein, The Dead Fathers Club by Matt Haig, and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. The intertextual relations between a work and its appropriations are commonly analyzed on a dichotomous basis, categorizing the features into similarities and differences. This study departs from the dichotomous categorization of intertextuality between Hamlet and its appropriations. Hence, the intertextuality between Hamlet and the selected novels is analyzed with regard to a tripartite framework. As characterization in Hamlet has been a source of constant debate and contestation during the past century, the present research is confined to the investigation of the variety of transformations of Hamlet's characters in its four appropriations. Five characters in Hamlet are given priority: Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius, Hamlet and Ghost. The conceptual framework used in this research, though hermeneutic in its final approach, is eclectic, drawing on a number of major theorists and philosophers such as Harold Bloom, Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, and Hans-Georg Gadamer. Based on a tripartite methodological framework, the varied personality features are categorized under three major rubrics namely, conformity, contradistinction, and conformity-contradistinction. The findings of this study demonstrate three notable categories of transformations or intertextual relations between Hamlet and its four appropriations. The first group signifies those intertextual relations which can be dichotomized as instances of similarity and difference, or, conformity and contradistinction. The second class of features comprise intertextual relations which are designated as instances of conformity-contradistinction; these features, though crucial, are not as numerous as those which can distinctly be categorized as similarities or differences. The third type of intertextual relations consists of those which, though apparently similar, are incomparable as the consequence of a disparate occasionality or a shift in the theoretical approach toward either Hamlet or its appropriations. The major implication of the present study is that the intertextuality between two literary works may not yield to the application of binary comparative frameworks or dichotomous relations which are commonly presupposed for the study of intertextuality in appropriative literature.,PhD
