    GLOBAL MEDIA JOURNAL–PAKISTAN EDITION VOL.XII, ISSUE-01, SPRING, 2019 Screen Adaptation: An Art in Search of Recognition Sharaf Rehman1 Abstract This paper has four goals. It offers a brief history and role of the process of screen adaptation in the film industries in the U.S. and the Indian Subcontinent; it explores some of the theories that draw parallels between literary and cinematic conventions attempting to bridge literature and cinema. Finally, this paper discusses some of the choices and strategies available to a writer when converting novels, short stories, and stage play into film scripts. Keywords: Screen Adoption, Subcontinent Film, Screenplay Writing, Film Production in Subcontinent, Asian Cinema 1 Professor of Communication, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA 1 GLOBAL MEDIA JOURNAL–PAKISTAN EDITION VOL.XII, ISSUE-01, SPRING, 2019 Introduction Tens of thousands of films (worldwide) have their roots in literature, e.g., short stories and novels. One often hears questions like: Can a film be considered literature? Is cinema an art form comparable to paintings of some of the masters, or some of the classics of literature? Is there a relationship or connection between literature and film? Why is there so much curiosity and concern about cinema? Arguably, no other storytelling medium has appealed to humanity as films. Silent films spoke to audiences beyond geographic, political, linguistic, and cultural borders. Consequently, the film became the first global mass medium (Hanson, 2017). In the last one hundred years, audiences around the world have shown a boundless appetite for cinema. People go to the movies for different social reasons, and with different expectations.

  • Ajeeb Aadmi—An Introduction Ismat Chughtai, Sa'adat Hasan Manto
    Ajeeb Aadmi—An Introduction I , Sa‘adat Hasan Manto, Krishan Chandar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Kaifi Azmi, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Ali Sardar Jafri, Majaz, Meeraji, and Khawaja Ahmed Abbas. These are some of the names that come to mind when we think of the Progressive Writers’ Movement and modern Urdu literature. But how many people know that every one of these writers was also involved with the Bombay film indus- try and was closely associated with film directors, actors, singers and pro- ducers? Ismat Chughtai’s husband Shahid Latif was a director and he and Ismat Chughtai worked together in his lifetime. After Shahid’s death Ismat Chughtai continued the work alone. In all, she wrote scripts for twelve films, the most notable among them ◊iddµ, Buzdil, Sån® kµ ≤µ∞y≥, and Garm Hav≥. She also acted in Shyam Benegal’s Jun∑n. Khawaja Ahmed Abbas made a name for himself as director and producer for his own films and also by writing scripts for some of Raj Kapoor’s best- known films. Manto, Krishan Chandar and Bedi also wrote scripts for the Bombay films, while all of the above-mentioned poets provided lyrics for some of the most alluring and enduring film songs ever to come out of India. In remembering Kaifi Azmi, Ranjit Hoskote says that the felicities of Urdu poetry and prose entered the consciousness of a vast, national audience through the medium of the popular Hindi cinema; for which masters of Urdu prose, such as Sadat [sic] Hasan Manto, wrote scripts, while many of the Progressives, Azmi included, provided lyrics.

  • The 33Rd Annual Conference on South Asia (2004) Paper Abstracts
    Single Paper and Individual Panel Abstracts 33rd Annual Conference on South Asia October 15-17, 2004 Note: Abstracts exceeding the 150-word limit were abbreviated and marked with an ellipsis. A. Rizvi, S. Mubbashir, University of Texas at Austin Refashioning Community: The Role of Violence in Redefining Political Society in Pakistan The history of sectarian conflict in Muslim communities in Pakistan goes back to the early days of national independence. The growing presence of extremist Sunni and Shi’a sectarian groups who are advocating for an Islamist State fashioned around their interpretation of Islam has resulted in an escalating wave of violence in the form of targeted killings of activists, religious clerics, Shi’a doctors, professionals and the most recent trend of suicide attacks targeting ordinary civilians. This paper will focus on the rise of sectarian tensions in Pakistan in relation to the changing character of Pakistani State in the Neo-Liberal era. Some of the questions that will be addressed are: What kinds of sectarian subjectivities are being shaped by the migration to the urban and peri-urban centers of Pakistan? What are the ways in which socio-economic grievances are reconfigured in sectarian terms? What are the ways in which violence shapes or politicizes … Adarkar, Aditya, Montclair State University Reflecting in Grief: Yudhishthira, Karna, and the Construction of Character This paper examines the construction of character in the "Mahabharata" through crystalline parallels and mirrorings (described by Ramanujan 1991). Taking Yudhishthira and Karna as an example, we learn much about Karna from the parallel between Karna's dharmic tests and Yudhishthira's on the way to heaven; and several aspects of Yudhishthira's personality (his blinding hatred, his adherence to his worldview) come to the fore in the context of his hatred of and grief over Karna.

CINEMATIC REPRESENTATIONS OF PARTITION OF INDIA Dr. Manoj Sharma Assistant Professor, Modern Indian History, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 – India [email protected] ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The partition of India in August 1947 marks a watershed in the modern Indian history. The creation of two nations, India and Pakistan, was not only a geographical division but also widened the chasm in the hearts of the people. The objective of the paper is to study the cinematic representations of the experiences associated with the partition of India. The cinematic portrayal of fear generated by the partition violence and the terror accompanying it will also be examined. Films dealing with partition have common themes of displacement of thousands of masses from their homelands, being called refugees in their own homeland and their struggle for survival in refugee colonies. They showcase the trauma of fear, violence, personal pain, loss and uprooting from native place.

    Open Letters Against Sec 377 These two open letters bring together the voices of many of the most eminent and respected Indians, collectively saying that on the grounds of fundamental human rights Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a British-era law that criminalizes same-sex love between adults, should be struck down immediately. The eminent signatories to these letters are asking our government, our courts, and the people of this country to join their voices against this archaic and oppressive law, and to put India in line with other progressive countries that are striving to realize the foundational goal of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that “All persons are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” They have come together to defend the rights and freedom not just of sexual minorities in India but to uphold the dignity and vigour of Indian democracy itself. Navigating Through This Press Kit This kit contains, in order, i. A statement by Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate ii. The text of the main Open Letter iii. The list of Signatories iv.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.
