aEngaging, and a rewarding experience. A must-read for all
Bollywood enthusiasts as well as others who wish to be informed
about this remarkable phenomenon.a
--Vijay Mishra, author of "Bollywood Cinema: Temples of Desire"
Bollywood is one of the most prolific film industries in the
world. Based in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the industry churns out
hundreds of films each year--primarily melodramatic films with
music and elaborately choreographed dance routines. Bollywood's
popularity is quickly spreading across the globe, and, beyond the
films themselves, Bollywood has made it way into global popular
culture.
Global Bollywood brings together leading scholars to examine the
transnational and transmedia terrain of Bollywood. Defining
Bollywood as an arena of public culture distinct from
Hindi-language Bombay cinema, this volume offers a new critical
framework for analyzing the institutional, cultural, and political
dimensions of Bollywood films and film music as they begin to
constitute an important circuit of global flows in the twenty-first
century.
Organized thematically, the book examines contestations
surrounding the term aBollywood, a changing relations between the
state and the film industry, convergence with television and new
media, online fan culture, film journalism, and the reception and
negotiations of gender and sexuality in diverse socio-cultural
contexts. Global Bollywood is indispensable for understanding not
only Bollywood cinema and culture but also how global media flows
are reconfiguring relationships among geography, cultural
production, and cultural identity.
