This volume points to the limits of models such as regional,
national, and transnational, and develops 'network' as a conceptual
category to study cinemas of India. Through grounded and
interdisciplinary research, it shows how film industries located in
disparate territories have not functioned as isolated units and
draws attention to the industrial traffic - of filmic material,
actors, performers, authors, technicians, genres, styles, sounds,
expertise, languages, and capital, across trans-regional contexts
-- since the inception of cinema. It excavates histories of film
production, distribution and exhibition, and their connections
beyond regional and national boundaries, and between places,
industrial practices, and multiple media. The chapters in this
volume address a range of themes such as transgressive female
figures; networks of authors and technicians; trans-regional
production links and changing technologies, and new media
geographies. By tracking manifold changes in the contexts of
transforming media, and inter-connections between diverse
industrial nodal points, this book expands the critical vocabulary
in media and production studies and foregrounds new methods for
examining cinema. A generative account of industrial networks, this
volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of film studies,
cinema studies, media studies, production studies, media sociology,
gender studies, South Asian studies, and cultural studies.
