The book presents a systematic method of interpreting Shakespeare
film adaptations based on their cinematic genres. Its approach is
both scholarly and reader-friendly, and its subject is
fundamentally interdisciplinary, combining the findings of
Shakespeare scholarship with film and media studies, particularly
genre theory. The book is organised into six large chapters,
discussing films that form broad generic groups. Part I looks at
three genres from the classical Hollywood era (western, melodrama
and gangster-noir), while Part II deals with three contemporary
blockbuster genres (teen film, undead horror and biopic). Beside a
few better-known examples of mainstream cinema, the volume also
highlights the Shakespearean elements in several nearly forgotten
films, bringing them back to critical attention. -- .

The Indian diaspora is the largest diasporic movement from Asia,
with the Indian community numbering over twenty-five million around
the world. Its large scale encompasses a kaleidoscopic community
from disparate regions, languages, cultural heritages, religions,
and traditions within the subcontinent. The many peoples of the
Indian diaspora have growing social and economic impacts on their
new homes, but maintain their cultural bonds with India. This
volume offers a thorough analysis of the diasporic practices of the
Indian communities in essays covering a number of fields, such as
literature, cultural studies, and film studies. The contributors
deal with the Indian diaspora's historical and contemporary
connotations, its theoretical framework, the cultural
hybridizations that emerge from diaspora, and other topics touching
on the cultural and social effects of the spread of Indian peoples
around the globe.
