Drawing on a wide variety of Hollywood and other examples, this impressive group of contributors considers a wide range of film adaptations, remakes and fan productions from various industrial, textual and critical perspectives. Their case studies discuss new versions of popular texts such as The Manchurian Candidate, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Stepford Wives. They provide new perspectives on the unlimited cultural production of classics like The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and they analyze the groundbreaking work of fan appropriations, including Batman and Spiderman fanvids, and fanfic trailer revisions for The Shining and television's The Adventures of Merlin." -- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index; Tertiary/Undergraduate, Postgraduate ISBN: 9781137263346 Contents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- notes on contributors -- introduction: remake,remodel / Kathleen Loock and Constantine Verevis -- pt.

book		Media and gender adaptation : Regendering, critical creation and the fans / Lucy Irene Baker New York: Bloomsbury Academic, Call No: 753-08 BAK Author: Baker, Lucy Irene Edition: 2023 Place: New York Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic PhysDes: 200 pages ; 24 cm Subject: GENDER AND THE CINEMA; GENDER AND TV; SHERLOCK HOLMES IN FILMS; FAN MAGAZINES; FANS; [DOCTOR] DR WHO [TV] (UK, 1963-1989, 2005-); ELEMENTARY [TV] (US, 2012-); GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Ivan Reitman, 1984); GHOSTBUSTERS (US, Paul Feig, 2016) Summary: Media and Gender Adaptation examines how fans and professionals change the gender of characters when they adapt existing work. Using research into fans, and case studies on Sherlock Holmes, Ghostbusters and Doctor Who, it illustrates the foundation of the process and ways the works engage with and critique media and gender at a political level. The default maleness of narratives in media are reworked to be inclusive of other points of view. Regendering as an adaptational technique relies on audience familiarity with existing works, however it also reveals an increasing trend in aggressive backlash against interpretations of media that include marginalised and minority communities. Combining analysis of fanfiction, television and big budget Hollywood productions, Media and Gender Adaptation also analyses fan responses to regendering in popular media. Through demographic surveys and interviews with fans, creators and broader audiences, a combination of playful and serious attitudes to gender are revealed to be part of how transformative fans (professional or not) adapt work. Specific fanfiction examples are analysed alongside professional works to reveal the depth and breadth of fannish play in regendered work and the constraints that professional adaptations are held to. It also reveals a schism in audiences, and those researching media, where the intersection of gender and race are sites of tension – nostalgia combining with expected representation of gender and race to create an aggressive defence of an original work that reiterates the mainstream hierarchies of gender and race. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781501370113 Contents: Dedication -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Section 1: Data and theories -- 1.
