Opis

A dynamic investigation of processes of cultural reproduction - remaking and remodelling - which considers a wide range of film adaptations, remakes and fan productions from various industrial, textual and critical perspectives.

Recenzje

"The volume ... provides a variety of critical perspectives on remakes and adaptations that 'contest the idea that the remake is a debased copy of some superior original' ... . Together with the accessible language and structure of the individual contributions, the volume provides its readers with valuable material for the classroom as well as further research on the topic of cultural reproduction in times of 'retromania.'" (Florian Groß, Amerikastudien - American Studies, Vol. 61 (3), 2017)
