Remakes and Remaking

Beschreibung

»Remakes and Remaking« for the first time looks at and compares forms of remaking in different media, bringing together scholarship on seriality, transmediality, and adaptation.
From »Avatar« to danced versions of »Romeo and Juliet«, from Bollywood films to »Star Wars Uncut«: This book investigates film remakes as well as forms of remaking in other media, such as ballet and internet fan art. The case studies introduce readers to a variety of texts and remaking practices from different cultural spheres. The essays also discuss forms of remaking in relation to neighbouring phenomena like the sequel, prequel and (re-)adaptation. »Remakes and Remaking« thus provides a necessary and topical addition to the recent conceptual scholarship on intermediality, transmediality and adaptation.

»Für Einsteiger in die Remake-Thematik durchaus zu empfehlen.«

»The true value of the volume lies in mapping out and problematizing the categories of remakes and in showing the complex ways in which remakes as cultural products are redefined to suit particular ideologies and economies. This expands existing discussions and highlights a number of questions that contemporary criticism will, in the long run, have to face.«
