  • TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television
    Représentations dans le monde anglophone – Janvier 2017 TV Remakes, Revivals, Updates, and Continuations: Making Sense of the Reboot on Television Mehdi Achouche, Université Lyon 3 Jean Moulin Keywords: reboot, remake, reimagining, update, TV series Mots-clés : reboot, remake, réinterprétation, adaptation, série télévisée When discussing the remake, it is generally the case that we are talking about the movie remake. Stigmatized or (more rarely) defended, the remake is historically thought of as a cinematographic institution, with very little thought devoted so far to the television remake1. Yet the phenomenon has been dramatically increasing over the past few years. A zap2it.com article counted in late 2013 32 projects being either remakes or spinoffs, with another 52 series being based on books or comics, accounting for 20% of the shows in development at the five broadcast networks for the 2014-15 season. By comparison, 53 such projects were developed throughout the previous season2. While TV series have been said to be in a new golden age thanks to their “cinematisation”, they thus allegedly are in danger, according to the same article, echoing the long-standing complaints about “recycling” on the big screen, of ironically falling victim to the “movie-fication” of the business: “TV development is starting to look an awful lot like the movie business, where at the big- studio level pre-sold franchises and risk aversion seem to be the guiding principles.” Or, as another writer puts it more succinctly, “there’s a point where the recycled material is just garbage”3. 1 Only two book-length studies entirely dedicated to the TV remake exist so far, edited by the same scholars: Lavigne Carlen, Marvotich Heather (eds.), American Remakes of British Television: Transformations and Mistranslations, Lenham: Lexington Books, 2011; and Lavigne, Carlen (ed.), Remake Television: Reboot Re-use Recycle.

Running in London’s West End since summer 2016 and due to transfer to Broadway in 2018, Cursed Child presents an unusual case-study of what happens when an author working in other media chooses to revive their own storyworld only onstage.

The years spent studying have been hard but inspiring, as I negotiated the life of a researcher with the daily struggles of having a chronic illness. This work was generated through perseverance and the continual support of the people around me. My first, and undying, gratitude to my supervisors: Associate Professor Jenny de Reuck and Doctor David Moody. Jenny, you supported me through many trials and tribulations, providing me with positivity and a safe space to express myself and try new approaches. Words cannot express my gratitude. David, your numerous edits and illuminating discussions shall remain with me, always. You kept me grounded and reminded me not to take myself too seriously. Thank you both for your patience. Secondly, I would like to thank all of the people who participated in and enriched my creative practice. To the cast and crew of 2084 (both the workshop and final product): you helped make the show what it is. To Dr Melissa Merchant I am deeply indebted for mentoring me through life as an academic and for all the good advice I promptly ignored: perhaps the next generation will be wiser.

  • Pokémon: the Games Behind the Phenomenon and Phenomenon Behind the Games Walter Shen
    Pokémon: The Games Behind the Phenomenon and Phenomenon Behind the Games Walter Shen Pokémon. Perhaps the most widely recognized word in the industrialized world in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. For some people, hearing that word reminds them of a worldwide phenomenon that they love. For others, it engenders a feeling of extreme dislike. But regardless of how people feel about it, one thing is for certain, almost everybody has heard about it. What is Pokémon? It’s hard to say. It’s a phenomenon. It’s a card game, a stuffed toy line, a fruit snack, a collector’s card set, a monthly comic book, a candy, a role-playing game, a bunch of plastic figures, a collection of posters on the wall, a cartoon, and a newspaper comic strip. It’s also the best thing to ever happen and the worst thing to ever happen, a way to educate children and a distraction in schools, and a demonic game for heathens and a game blessed by the Pope. Pokémon is many things, but at its heart, it’s just a good, solid video game. The basic premise of Pokémon (as delineated in the video games for Nintendo’s Game Boy: Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Silver, and Pokémon Gold) is that the world is full of Pokémon (note that Pokémon is both the singular and plural form), or “Pocket Monsters,” that each has special skills. The world is also full of Pokémon trainers that go around capturing and then training the Pokémon for various reasons: ranging anywhere from personal gain to love of Pokémon.

It compares and contrasts the original musical with the current revival. It investigates the societies in which they’ve debuted, and why the themes are so timeless and universal. Finally, it goes behind the scenes with exclusive interviews and footage of the revival’s audition process, revealing the dramatic journey of the performers, and unfolding a story of life imitating art. A CHORUS LINE isn’t just another hugely successful Broadway musical—it’s an international phenomenon that has spanned four decades and reached audiences in 22 countries around the world. Through 15 years of continuous performances from the 70s to 90s and a revival beginning last year, A CHORUS LINE has touched generations around the world with stories so poignant, they could only have come from truth. Who would have imagined such an enduring piece of modern culture would arise from middle-of-the-night conversations in a dance studio?
