Description de l'ouvrage:
An in-depth exploration of film remakes within global media culture

Bringing together a range of international scholars, Transnational Film Remakes is the first edited collection to specifically focus on the phenomenon of cross-cultural remakes. Using a variety of case studies, from Hong Kong remakes of Japanese cinema to Bollywood remakes of Australian television, this book provides an analysis of cinematic remaking that moves beyond Hollywood to address the truly global nature of this phenomenon. Looking at iconic contemporary titles such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Oldboy, as well as classics like La Bête Humaine and La Chienne, this book interrogates the fluid and dynamic ways in which texts are adapted and reworked across national borders to provide a distinctive new model for understanding these global cultural borrowings.

Revue de Presse:
Transnational Film Remakes not only succeeds in providing great explanations of complex issues, but, and probably more importantly, raises new thought-provoking questions. Therefore, it will be an interesting read for scholars working in transnational (remake) studies, or more broadly in adaptation studies, but equally for everyone interested in film studies and the recycling of cultural artefacts.'– Eduard Cuelenaere, Communications

An excellent, historically and geographically wide-ranging collection of original work on the phenomenon of transnational film remakes and related socio-cultural issues. The editors and contributors succeed in drilling down deep in their insightful investigations of the complexities involved in these global cinematic acts of translation and relocation– Catherine Grant, University of Sussex
