Tamil Cinema in the Twenty-First Century explores the current state of Tamil cinema, one of India's largest film industries. Since its inception a century ago, Tamil cinema has undergone major transformations, and today it stands as a foremost cultural institution that profoundly shapes Tamil culture and identity. This book investigates the structural, ideological, and societal cleavages that continue to be reproduced, new ideas, modes of representation and narratives that are being created, and the impact of new technologies on Tamil cinema. It advances a critical interdisciplinary approach that challenges the narratives of Tamil cinema to reveal the social forces at work.

Examining the Indigenous mediascape, "The Fourth Eye" shows how
Māori filmmakers, actors, and media producers have depicted
conflicts over citizenship rights and negotiated the representation
of Indigenous people. From nineteenth-century Māori-language
newspapers to contemporary Māori film and television, the
contributors explore a variety of media forms including magazine
cover stories, print advertisements, commercial images, and current
Māori-language newspapers to illustrate the construction,
expression, and production of indigeneity through media. Focusing on New Zealand as a case study, the authors address the
broader question: what is Indigenous media? While engaging with
distinct themes such as the misrepresentation of Māori people in
the media, access of Indigenous communities to media technologies,
and the use of media for activism, the essays in this much-needed
new collection articulate an Indigenous media landscape that
converses with issues that reach far beyond New Zealand. Contributors: Sue Abel, U of Auckland; Joost de Bruin, Victoria U of Wellington; Suzanne Duncan, U of Otago; Kevin Fisher, U of Otago; Allen Meek, Massey U; Lachy Paterson, U of Otago; Chris Prentice, U of Otago; Jay Scherer, U of Alberta; Jo Smith, Victoria U of Wellington; April Strickland; Stephen Turner, U of Auckland.
