Hindi commercial cinema has been invested in the supernatural since its earliest days. However, only a small segment of these films has been adequately explored in scholarly work. Haunting Bollywood addresses this gap. From Gothic ghost films of the 1950s to snake films of the 1970s and 1980s to today s globally influenced zombie and vampire films, Meheli Sen explores what the supernatural is and the questions it raises about film form, history, modernity, and gender in South Asian public cultures. Contrary to the widely held belief that these are uniquely local forms, she shows that the supernatural is dispersed among multiple genres and is constantly in conversation with global cinematic conventions; simultaneously, the supernatural is an especially flexible impulse that pushes Hindi films into new formal and stylistic territories. Sen also argues that gender is a particularly accommodating arena in which the supernatural plays out its most basic compulsions; thus, the interface between gender and genre provides a productive lens into Hindi cinema s negotiation of the modern and the global. Haunting Bollywood reveals that the supernatural s unruly energies continually resist being contained, even as they engage with and sometimes subvert Hindi cinema s most enduring pleasures, from songs and stars, to myth and melodrama. Haunting Bollywood will be of interest to scholars and students of literary criticism, postcolonial studies, queer theory, history, and cultural studies. (jacke).

Adrian Martin has called the idea of the figure simultaneously a very simple and a very complex business, natural and easy as well as contrived and theatrical. This formulation is especially true of Indian cinema where the very question of figuration is informed by an array of conflicting energies and ideologies. More than a body, character, or even prototype, the figure is often several of these things at once. The figures that exhibit maximum tenacity in Indian cinema often emerge in the interface of recognizable binaries self/other, Indian/foreign, good/bad, virtue/vice, myth/reality, urban/rural, and so on. Indian cinema s vexed relationship to modernity provides an important point of entry into the question of figuration. Realism s limited traction in much of Indian cinema is critical to understanding its propensity towards the figurative over the strictly representational. The authors in this volume approach Indian cinema from multiple perspectives, ranging from investigations of the political and the generic, to unraveling the figurative resonances of fabrics, stars, and icons, in an era of media convergence. Figurations in Indian Film demonstrates that the conversation about the relationship between bodies, modernity, globalization, aesthetics and politics is far from settled and suggests some exciting new ways of theorizing the same. This book would appeal to any reader interested in Indian cinema, culture and politics.

Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: New. Summary:Haunting Bollywood is a pioneering, interdisciplinary inquiry into the supernatural in Hindi cinema that draws from literary criticism, postcolonial studies, queer theory, history, and cultural studies. Hindi commercial cinema has been invested in the supernatural since its earliest days, but only a small segment of these films have been adequately explored in scholarly work; this book addresses this gap by focusing on some of Hindi cinema?s least explored genres. From Gothic ghost films of the 1950s to snake films of the 1970s and 1980s to today?s globally influenced zombie and vampire films, Meheli Sen delves into what the supernatural is and the varied modalities through which it raises questions of film form, history, modernity, and gender in South Asian public cultures. Arguing that the supernatural is dispersed among multiple genres and constantly in conversation with global cinematic forms, she demonstrates that it is an especially malleable impulse that routinely pushes Hindi film into new formal and stylistic territories. Sen also argues that gender is a particularly accommodating stage on which the supernatural rehearses its most basic compulsions; thus, the interface between gender and genre provides an exceptionally productive lens into Hindi cinema?s negotiation of the modern and the global. Haunting Bollywood reveals that the supernatural?s unruly energies continually resist containment, even as they partake of and sometimes subvert Hindi cinema?s most enduring pleasures, from songs and stars to myth and melodrama.
