Sex and sexuality in modern screen remakes[electronic resource] /by Lauren Rosewarne. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xi, 303 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. The Gentrified Juggernaut: Exploring Bigger and Better Remakes -- 3. The All-lady, Feminist Extravaganza: Gender and Sex-Swap Remakes -- 4. Sexing the Remake: The Sexy, Less-Sexy, Queer and Not-So Redos -- 5. Going Black, Going Brown: Reimagining Race in the Contemporary Remake -- 6. Conclusion.

Sex and Sexuality in Modern Screen Remakes examines how sexiness, sexuality and revisited sexual politics are used to modernize film and TV remakes. This exploration provides insight into the ever-evolving--and ever-contested--role of sex in society, and scrutinizes the politics and economics underpinning modern media reproduction. More nudity, kinky sex, and queer content are increasingly deployed in remakes to attract, and to titillate, a new generation of viewers. While sex in this book refers to increased erotic content, this discussion also incorporates an investigation of other uses of sex and gender to help a remake appear woke and abreast of the zeitgeist including feminist reimaginings and 'girl power' make-overs, updated gender roles, female cast-swaps, queer retellings, and repositioned gazes. Though increased sex is often considered a sign of modernity, gratuitous displays of female nudity can sometimes be interpreted as sexist and anachronistic, in turn highlighting that progressiveness around sexuality in contemporary media is not a linear story. Also examined therefore, are remakes that reduce the sexual content to appear cutting-edge and cognizant of the demands of today's audiences. Lauren Rosewarne is Senior Lecturer in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and is an expert in sex, gender, media and popular culture. This is Lauren's tenth book. For more information, visit www.laurenrosewarne.com.
