Remakes and Remaking

Concepts - Media - Practices. Edited by Rüdiger Heinze and Lucia Krämer. This book 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. 184 Seiten mit Abb., broschiert (Media Studies/transcript 2015)
