JAPN 220 - Remaking Japan: Hollywood and Japanese Cinema


Hollywood remakes of Japanese films constitute their own genre. But what are the politics, profit motives, and visual substitutions common to the production and dissemination of American remakes of Japanese originals? This course is designed to foster deeper understandings of these issues as related to the art of remaking and to direct those understandings toward rigorous analyses of films as texts and critical examinations of the medium as a tool of social representation.
