Description de l'ouvrage :
Situates the remake as one of the primary responses to Bollywood's globalization and corporatization.
Focused on post-1990 Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films, Déjà Viewed tells a larger story of the rapidly changing Indian film industry in the wake of globalization and corporatization. It situates the remake as a gendered response to these changes, drawing on approaches from film theory, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book looks at films from a variety of genres and modes, including the Bollywood family film, romantic comedy, noir, and melodrama, and each film's close analysis is accompanied by attention to concerns related to remake theory, such as homage, anxiety of influence, defamiliarization, and pastiche. Seeking to historicize how gender and genres become translated and transformed in the Bollywood remake, the book contributes to transnational understandings of gender and genre as media texts move across various borders--geographic, cinematic, economic, and aesthetic.
À propos de l'auteur :
Gohar Siddiqui is Assistant Professor of Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University.
Revue de Presse :
"This is a valuable addition to Bollywood studies. Siddiqui is well versed in the different industrial contexts, codes, and conventions of both Bollywood and Hollywood, and the book's readability will make it attractive to specialists and non-specialists alike." -- Anupama Arora, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
"This is a welcome addition to Indian and South Asian film and media studies as well as the study of cross-cultural remakes. It closely examines questions of genre, nation, globalization, and political economy, and instead of reading influence in only one direction, it contributes a comparative perspective that throws light on the form of the Hollywood film as well." -- Usha Iyer, Stanford University
