Séries, suites et redites en culture médiatique

The article is in French but there's an English version of the abstract:

The goal of the authors of this article is to discuss the specific form of repetition that Umberto Eco calls "remake". The serial aspect of remakes is based on the systematic use of processes of repetition that produce texts so close to the original model, as to appear almost indistinguishable. A study of the theme of "desert romances" allows for a better understanding of the present evolution of the canons of aesthetics, as well as of the upheaval it caused in textual interpretation.
