Recenzii
Molé's book is a treasure trove of fascinating perspectives and analysis and is accessible to all levels of the interested reader ... It provides a brilliant methodology for thinking through collage. I wholeheartedly recommend Molé's book.
I found Gothic Remixed hugely thought-provoking and enlightening, with de Bruin-Molé's obvious enthusiasm for both the works cited as case studies and the concepts she talks about shining through ... Gothic Remixed comes highly recommended not just for those interested specifically in the world of Frankenfiction but anyone who wants to look at authenticity, author privilege and how the present deals (or fails to deal) with the injustices of the past.
[T]he first full-length study of the monster mashup genre ... De Bruin-Molé's study of the "'literary mashup craze" makes a strong case for Frankenfiction as an important twenty-first-century cultural phenomenon ... Where the book really shines is not in its laudable engagement with high theory, but in its astute and approachable analysis of particular Frankenfictions.
Gothic Remixed offers a fresh and exciting new take on twenty-first century Gothic. It addresses texts across a range of media that have often been dismissed as parasitic or derivative and champions their significance while remaining alert to their ethical shortcomings. By showing how monstrosity becomes the animating principle of Gothic mashups, hybrid texts and 'Frankenfictions', the book sheds light on emerging forms of Gothic cultural production and provides a cohesive framework for reading the incohesive. De Bruin-Molé is working at the cutting edge of contemporary Gothic and her book will be indispensible for students and scholars with an interest in the field.
Stitching together adaptation theory and remix studies with surgical precision, De Bruin-Molé has produced the first book on the modern monster mashup. Authoritative, insightful and immensely enjoyable, Gothic Remixed heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice to contemporary Gothic studies.
Thoroughly researched and well constructed, Gothic Remixed: Monster Mashups and Frankenfictions in 21st-Century Culture is thus a valuable contribution to monster studies as well as adaptation studies and is an essential work for anyone who researches Frankenfictions of any kind.
