Description:
This volume assembles an international team of scholars to provide a dynamic investigation of the current phenomenon of transnational television remakes. Adopting three points of focalisation - genres, politics and cultural value - the volume presents vibrant case studies of contemporary television series, including Broen/Bron/The Bridge, Homeland/Prisoners of War, Forbrydelsen/The Killing, Be'Tipul/In Treatment, and The Office/Stromberg. This book was originally published as a special issue of Continuum.
