Beskrivning
The Hollywood Meme is the first comprehensive study of the transnational adaptations of Hollywood movies that have appeared throughout world cinema. With case studies from the film industries of Turkey, India and the Philippines, Iain Robert Smith shows how reworked versions of Hollywood blockbusters like E.T., The Godfather, Spider-man and Star Wars can complicate prevailing accounts of Hollywood’s global impact, and help provide a new model for interrogating transnational flows and exchanges.

Recensioner i media

In its illuminating look at adaptations, copies, and remakes of Hollywood texts in the popular film industries of Turkey, the Philippines, and India, Smith¹s book challenges its readers to reconsider preconceived notions of how cultural hegemonies operate, arguing for and unearthing more nuanced and reciprocal forms of interaction and cross-fertilisation between Hollywood and global film culture. Sharply argued and offering intriguing insights into the stranger realms of cultural appropriation, this book is a delight to read and an important intervention into popular genre studies and studies of transnational practices in world cinema.
