This book examines cinematic practices in Bollywood as narratives
that assist in shaping the imagination of the age, especially in
contemporary India. It examines historical films released in India
since the new millennium and analyses cinema as a reflection of the
changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given
period. The chapters in Historicizing Myths in Contemporary India:
Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Hindi Cinemas
also illuminate different perspectives on how cinematic historical
representations follow political patterns and market compulsions,
giving precedence to a certain past over the other, creating a
narrative suited for the dominant narrative of the present. From
Mughal-e-Azam to Padmaavat, and Bajirao Mastani to Raazi, the
chapters show how creating history out of myths validate hegemonic
identities in a rapidly evolving Indian society. The volume will be
of interest to scholars of film and media studies, literature and
culture studies, and South Asian studies.

The ideologies and practices of various populist movements are
centered on issues of gender, especially idealized notions of
masculinity. Offering cultural, political, and historical
approaches from a range of interdisciplinary and international
perspectives, The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities
analyzes articulations and performances that link populism to
masculinity. In particular, the collection studies political
participation in the form of public debates, media, and popular
culture. The authors emphasize that in order to understand what can
be defined as populism, we need to look at the culture that it
inhabits and the efforts to claim, challenge, and reclaim the
popular. Writing from a wide range of international contexts, the
contributors to The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities
explore how populist masculinities are articulated and performed,
whether there is something problematic about a specifically
masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a pluralist,
inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism. Culture and
Politics of Populist Masculinities' international range of
contributors explore how populist masculinities are articulated and
performed, whether there is something problematic about a
specifically masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a
pluralist, inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism.
