Beskrivning

The Routledge Handbook of South Asian Cinemas is the first collection of original contributions to comprehensively analyze one of the most diverse and prolific cinema-producing regions of the world. It features chapters by up-and-coming and established scholars from a diverse array of academic specialties that survey South Asian cinemas, placing an emphasis on new, emerging, and underexplored cinematic terrains.The handbook is organized in two parts: Regions and Themes. The first part examines the film industries from a regional perspective, including the cinemas of various Indian languages, in conjunction with the cinemas of other South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The second part examines issues, themes, and practices that cut across regions, including distribution platforms, audiences, song and dance, and gender and sexuality.A crucial intervention in the field of South Asian Cinema Studies, this handbook is an essential reference work for students and researchers of Asian cinema, film and culture and a significant contribution to South Asian Studies.

Recensioner i media

"This milestone collection is the first major effort to recognize that Hindi commercial cinema is just one part of a much larger world of nations, languages, cultures and cinematic styles within South Asia. It will be very useful for future cinema scholars, both of this region and of other cinematic worlds, as they zoom in and out of their local contexts and build a genuinely comparative approach to film studies."Arjun Appadurai, Emeritus Professor of Media, Culture and Communication, New York University"Crossing both national and linguistic boundaries and spanning a range of media formats, this handbook appropriately decenters the supposed 'Bollywood' hegemon to offer a provocative and critical guide to modern and contemporary developments across the diverse and vibrant cinescapes of South Asia."Philip A. Lutgendorf, Professor Emeritus, Hindi and Modern Indian Studies, University of Iowa
