The politicization/de-politicization process takes place when any literary work is adapted due to the nature of literature and film. De-politicization usually occurs in case of novels, for novels are to be reduced and dissected into the proper format of film narratives according to the commercial logic of capitalism operated in film industry. Politicization is, however, apparent in case of drama adaptation, and expecially between African-American dramas and African-American films due to the characteristics/function of Afro-American aesthetics. Adaptation is not the concept for final products, but the process of interpretation and evaluation in the process of transformation of drama into film. Tyler Perry’s for colored girls could be approached and dissected in terms of multi-layered reading of ntozake shange’s drama such as feedback reading, trans-media reading, transcultural reading and trans-gender reading. Adaptation is a series of process of politicization, and an intertextuality and/or a parody between the senders of the original text and the receivers of the translated and adapted text.
