  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

His film had 15 dubbed versions and subtitles in several languages such as Indonesian, Hebrew and Polish. “We are going directly to the audience,” he says. “It’s not going to take away from what the film is all about .” The city, says Sircar, is one of the many characters in the film. “The film is soaked in the old Lucknow ” he adds. It is shot in actual locations, Hazratganj and Chowk areas. A devout fan of Satyajit Ray, Shoojit stayed at Hotel Clarion, the same place the great auteur had stayed in when shooting Shatranj Ke Khiladi. “It is always great to be inspired by him,” he says .

  • Universiteit Antwerpen Faculteit Politieke En Sociale Wetenschappen Academiejaar 2013-2014
    Universiteit Antwerpen Faculteit Politieke en Sociale Wetenschappen Academiejaar 2013-2014 MASTERPROEF FROM WHITE DEVIL TO WHITE EMANCIPATOR Representation of white Western women in Indian cinema Lisa van der Waal Master in de Filmstudies en de Visuele Cultuur Promotor: Prof. Dr. Paolo Favero Medebeoordelaar: Prof. Dr. Kevin Smets Abstract Times are changing in India's film industry. While Bollywood remains the biggest film industry in the world, a new Indian cinema genre is rising nowadays, a cinema that tries to find its position between Bollywood, Western and parallel cinema. One of the striking things of this new Indian film genre, that I call New Indian Cinema, pays attention to the way white Western women are treated in India's contemporary society. New Indian Cinema depicts white Western women as survivors of this tough society they are living in. This representation differs from the way India's popular cinema, Bollywood cinema, has depicted the white Western women until now. From the 1950s onwards, they have been represented as immoral ‘devils’; the opposite of moral Indian women. Although Jane Dark has noticed a development in the representation of white women in Bollywood cinema, it seems that it is New Indian Cinema that contributes to the emancipation of this particular kind of film character in Indian cinema. This thesis is focused on the development of the white Western female character during the last decades. Based on the concepts of whiteness and the male gaze, three New Indian Cinema films have been analysed in order to discover how this new Indian film genre depicts Western women and if this representation contributes to the development of this character.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Crossover cinema: a conceptual and genealogical overview Abstract In this collection, the term crossover cinema is used to encapsulate an emerging form of cinema that crosses cultural borders at the stage of conceptualization and production and hence manifests a hybrid cinematic grammar at the textual level, as well as crossing over in terms of its distribution and reception. It argues for the importance of distinguishing between crossover cinema and transnational cinema. While the latter label has been important in enabling the recognition and consideration of the impact of post–World War II migration and globalization on film practice and scholarship, and while it constituted a significant advance on the term with which is so often conflated, world cinema, this chapter argues for a repositioning of the former term as more definitive of the contemporary cultural epoch. The extension of scope in this manner more accurately reflects the highly contingent ways in which global flows in both production and consumption have shaped cinema—not only in the locations of so-called Third Cinema but also in the West.

  • Chapter III a Brief Cultural History of Indian Poetry in English
    Chapter III A Brief Cultural History of Indian Poetry in English (Till 1990) No semiotic system exists in isolation, thus every culture in being a system has to be studied both as an immanent culture and in its relation with the extra-culture and the dynamics of its internal and external structures. Indian poetry in English as a cultural text is a hierarchy of texts evolved through the interaction of the internal sphere with the external sphere and as a result of the amalgamation of both gradual (continuous) and explosive (unpredictable) processes. It has established itself as a culture by delimiting its boundaries, though fluid and permeable, through a process of self description. The first interactions between English and India were not between just two languages like English and Hindi or English or Sanskrit. They were happening in a polyglot environment consisting of languages like English, Sanskrit, Persian and Bengali. It would be best to see them as interactions of multiple heterogeneous semiotic systems within one semiosphere. This chapter discusses the cultural-historical evolution of the Indian poetry in English, the over two century long journey from ‘Anglo-Indian’ to ‘Indo-Anglian’ to finally ‘Indian’ poetry in English. The nationalist concerns have led literary historians to consider only poets of Indian origin as part of the Indian English canon, beginning with Henry Louis Vivian Derozio (1809-1831). Accordingly Indian poetry in English is supposed to have begun in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Though considering Derozio as an Indian poet defined by conventional parameters also has its complications owing to his mixed parentage.

  • Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the Period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008
    Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements For the period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 Managed by Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited Investment Objective The investment objective of The Indian Film Company Limited (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries; The Indian Film Company (Cyprus) Limited (formerly Braxfield Investment Limited and IFC Distribution Private Limited (collectively the Group) is to achieve total return for Shareholders through investment in a diverse portfolio of Indian films and films primarily targeted at the Indian audience across different genres, languages and budgets. The Group intends to build a film library of Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) in various formats, including satellite, home video and mobile technology. The Directors and Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) (formerly known as BK Enterprises Limited) believe that the Group is well placed to take advantage of film investment opportunities and to capitalise on the growth that the Indian film industry is experiencing. Operational Strategy The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Group, captures opportunities in the entire value chain of film creation by; (i) sourcing and evaluating prospective film projects through a research-led investment process; and (ii) managing and structuring the production and distribution of such film projects. In sourcing prospective film projects the Investment Manager thoroughly evaluates film concepts, scripts, directors and cast in respect of current market data relating to current tastes and trends. The Investment Manager then assesses the feasibility of the project in relation to budget, timescales and the risks and rewards of each opportunity. Once a film project has been approved by the Board, the Group seeks to retain full ownership of all IPR relating to each film project, although in certain situations the Group may invest in a film project where it may not acquire all rights.
