Abstract:

A notable trend in reworking familiar stories, particularly in the cinema, has emerged since the beginning of the millennium that defies encapsulation in pre-existing terminology. The rise in works that creatively reuse readily available content to transform it beyond the previously seen warrants the use of a new term, Remix, which denotes the expression of an original idea using non-original material. This practice began in music in the 1980s and, with the rapid development of computer technology spread to or heavily influenced other arts, notably the cinema. One genre where Remix is conspicuously present is fairy-tale-based productions. This article introduces the practice and discusses some examples.

След повече от година чакане, най-сетне излезе сборникът Studia Philologica Vol. 43 (2025) на ВТУ "Св. св. Кирил и Методий", в който участвам с една статия за ремикса в областта на киното и по-конкретно в приказния жанр.

За изображение съм сложил плаката на сериала "Грим", тъй като той е един от обсъжданите в текста.
