Description

Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox explores the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze using the framework of Hollywood's current obsession with remaking and rebooting classic and foreign films. Through an analysis of cinematic repetition and difference, the book approaches remakes from a range of philosophical perspectives.

About the Author
Daniel Varndell is an independent scholar who teaches cultural and critical theory in English and Film Studies. This is his first book, and it marks the culmination of a long period of research on the subject of repetition and difference in Hollywood cinema. It will be complemented by a shorter, companion piece of work on David Lynch and Deleuze's figure of the 'dark precursor'.

Reviews

"Daniel Varndell's Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox is an innovative book that gets past the usual argument that the original film is the best version and the remake an ill-made copy. ... Varndell's book is a mandatory text for those interested in remakes and Deleuzian film-philosophy. ... With Hollywood's film industry turned into a constant remake production machine, Hollywood Remakes, Deleuze and the Grandfather Paradox certainly provides a solid framework through which we can understand its implications." (Maria Victoria Gomez Vila, Film-Philosophy, Vol. 21 (1), 2017)

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
