ZUNIGA, María Carolina. Reformulation Strategies in The King's Ankus, a Chapter from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Íkala [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.185-194. ISSN 0123-3432.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ikala.v19n2a05.

The objective of this article was to identify the reformulation strategies used in the adaptation of The King's Ankus, a chapter from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. A comparative analysis was conducted on two different editions: the hypotext (19--) and the hypertext (2006). 260 modifications were identified, and 56% correspond to reductions, 38% to variations and only 6% to expansions. The new target readers and different context of reception produce cultural changes in the text that should be relevant for translation and children and young adult's literature.

Palabras clave : adaptation; reformulation strategies; literary classics; children and young adult's literature.
