During the decade of its existence in India, the multiplex
cinema has been very much a sign of the times both a symptom and a
symbol of new social values. Indicative of a consistent push to
create a globalised consuming middle class and a new urban
environment, multiplex theatres have thus become key sites in the
long-running struggle over cultural legitimacy and the right to
public space in Indian cities.
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive account of
the new leisure infrastructure arising at the intersection between
contemporary trends in cultural practice and the spatial politics
that are reshaping the cities of India. Exploring the significance,
and convergence, of economic liberalisation, urban redevelopment
and the media explosion in India, the book demonstrates an
innovative approach towards the cultural and political economy of
leisure in a complex and rapidly-changing society.
Key arguments are supported by up-to-date and substantive field
research in several major metros and second tier cities across
India. Accordingly, this book employs analytical frameworks from
Media and Cultural Studies, and from Urban Geography and
Development Studies in a wide-ranging examination of the multiplex
phenomenon.
