This exploration provides insight into the ever-evolving--and ever-contested--role of sex in society, and scrutinizes the politics and economics underpinning modern media reproduction. More nudity, kinky sex, and queer content are increasingly deployed in remakes to attract, and to titillate, a new generation of viewers. While sex in this book refers to increased erotic content, this discussion also incorporates an investigation of other uses of sex and gender to help a remake appear woke and abreast of the zeitgeist including feminist reimaginings and 'girl power' make-overs, updated gender roles, female cast-swaps, queer retellings, and repositioned gazes. Though increased sex is often considered a sign of modernity, gratuitous displays of female nudity can sometimes be interpreted as sexist and anachronistic, in turn highlighting that progressiveness around sexuality in contemporary media is not a linear story. Also examined therefore, are remakes that reduce the sexual content to appear cutting-edge and cognizant of the demands of today's audiences. 650 0 $a Sex in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Sex on television. 650 0 $a Film remakes $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Television remakes $x History and criticism. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9263C2A8403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
