Hollywood Remaking

"A must-read major achievement. Kathleen Loock deftly and refreshingly gets past the mountains of discursive junk piled on top of the concept of remaking and offers instead a superbly smart and highly compelling thesis for how to make sense of it as cultural practice."-Jonathan Gray, author of Dislike-Minded: Media, Audiences, and the Dynamics of Taste "An ambitious and admirable undertaking, ingenious in concept and execution. Examining not only the industrial history of remaking but also its impact on conceptions of the self, generational communities, and cultural memory, Hollywood Remaking marks a major step forward in our understanding of remaking practices."-Barbara Klinger, author of Immortal Films: Casablanca and the Afterlife of a Hollywood Classic
