Description de l'ouvrage:
In Remaking Gender and the Family, Sarah Woodland examines the complexities of Chinese-language cinematic remakes. With a particular focus on how changes in representations of gender and the family between two versions of the same film connect with perceived socio-cultural, political and cinematic values within Chinese society, Woodland explores how source texts are reshaped for their new audiences. In this book, she conducts a comparative analysis of two pairs of intercultural and two pairs of intracultural films, each chapter highlighting a different dimension of remakes, and illustrating how changes in gender representations can highlight not just differences in attitudes towards gender across cultures, but also broader concerns relating to culture, genre, auteurism, politics and temporality.

Revue de Presse:
"The way in which Woodland conveys her research is clear and inspirational, especially when pointing out issues that so far have remained understudied. Students in the field of remake studies will benefit immensely from using this publication as a stepping stone for their endeavors. This book...is a timely and relevant addition."
