| Abstract |
Although it seems plausible to say that the same story can be retold
in different media, it is difficult to say exactly what this would
entail. The primary difficulty is in coming up with an acceptable
theory of story identity. In this article I present several theories
of story identity and explore their weaknesses. I argue that in the
end we are left with two unattractive options: a strict theory that
implies that the same story can almost never be retold and a lenient
theory that has trouble differentiating between a general story type
and the same story.
