Transcript Verlag Remakes and Remaking: Concepts - Media - Practices
From "Avatar" to danced versions of "Romeo and Juliet", from Bollywood films to "Star Wars Uncut": This book investigates film remakes as well as forms of remaking in other media, such as ballet and internet fan art. The case studies introduce readers to a variety of texts and remaking practices from different cultural spheres. The essays also discuss forms of remaking in relation to neighbouring phenomena like the sequel, prequel and (re-)adaptation. "Remakes and Remaking" thus provides a necessary and topical addition to the recent conceptual scholarship on intermediality, transmediality and adaptation.

Transcript Verlag Postcolonial Studies Meets Media Studies: A Critical Encounter
The book brings together experts from Media and Communication Studies with Postcolonial Studies scholars to illustrate how the two fields may challenge and enrich each other. Its essays introduce readers to selected topics including "Media Convergence", "Transcultural Subjectivity", "Hegemony", "Piracy" and "Media History and Colonialism". Drawing on examples from film, literature, music, TV and the internet, the contributors investigate the transnational dimensions in today's media, engage with local and global media politics and discuss media outlets as economic agents, thus illustrating mechanisms of power in postcolonial and neo-colonial mediascapes.
