  • Bollywood Lens Syllabus
    Bollywood's Lens on Indian Society Professor Anita Weiss INTL 448/548, Spring 2018 [email protected] Mondays, 4-7:20 pm 307 PLC; 541 346-3245 Course Syllabus Film has the ability to project powerful images of a society in ways conventional academic mediums cannot. This is particularly true in learning about India, which is home to the largest film industries in the world. This course explores images of Indian society that emerge through the medium of film. Our attention will be focused on the ways in which Indian society and history is depicted in film, critical social issues being explored through film; the depicted reality vs. the historical reality; and the powerful role of the Indian film industry in affecting social orientations and values. Course Objectives: 1. To gain an awareness of the historical background of the subcontinent and of contemporary Indian society; 2. To understand the sociocultural similarities yet significant diversity within this culture area; 3. To learn about the political and economic realities and challenges facing contemporary India and the rapid social changes the country is experiencing; 4. To learn about the Indian film industry, the largest in the world, and specifically Bollywood. Class format Professor Weiss will open each class with a short lecture on the issues which are raised in the film to be screened for that day. We will then view the selected film, followed by a short break, and then extensive in- class discussion. Given the length of most Bollywood films, we will need to fast-forward through much of the song/dance and/or fighting sequences.

  • Brief Historical Overview A. Indus Valley Civilization
    Brief Historical Overview A. Indus Valley civilization (3,000-1,500 B.C.) 1. 3,000-2,000 B.C.: high civilization, urban, literate, settled agriculture; Harappa/Mohenjo Daro (first grid plan cities) 2. 2,000-1,500 B.C.: Indo-Aryan invasion, pushed Dravidians South, and brought an Aryan group which had a strong hierarchical division between priests, warriors and nomads, and a language similar to Sanskrit (an Indo-Aryan/Indo-European language) B. Vedic Age - 1500 – 1000 BC 1. Vedas: poetic Sanskrit hymns passed down orally for thousands of years ( mostly fire sacrifices, chants, and spells) 2. Rig Veda: 1028 Hymns of praise to Aryan gods (personified forces of nature). C. Classical period (600 B.C. to 600 A.D.): Articulation of Hinduism (Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita); establishment of varna system (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras) - which provided the foundation of the present jajmani system (to be discussed Week Three) D. Islamic period: invasion by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1057 A.D., from Afghanistan; followed by the Sultanate of Delhi (1206-1526); the great Mughal empire (1527-1857): best known emperors were Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jehan (builder of the Taj Mahal); effective rule ended in 1748. Akbar created a political system which provided a synthesis of the great diversities in India, which provides a model for accommodation between groups today. [Note: Be thinking of this as we watch Jodhaa Akbar.] E. The British Raj 1. First entered as the British East India Company in Bengal. 2. Established various kinds of taxation and land tenure systems, and organized groups (e.g., tribes, zamindars) into new forms.

Doordarshan have generously extended media partnership to the conference. Images in the brochure are selected from Sarai Archive collections. Sponsors Media Partner 2 The Idea Remembering legendary beginnings provides us the occasion to redefine and make contemporary the history we set out to honour. We need to complicate the idea of origins and `firsts’ because they highlight some dimensions of film culture and usage over others, and obscure the wider network of media technologies, cultural practices, and audiences which made cinema possible. In India, it is a matter of debate whether D.G. Phalke's Raja Harishchandra (1913), popularly referred to as the first Indian feature film, deserves that accolade. As Rosie Thomas has shown, earlier instances of the story film can be identified, includingAlibaba (Hiralal Sen, 1903), an Arabian Nights fantasy which would point to the presence of a different cultural universe from that provided by Phalke's Hindu mythological film. Such a revisionary history is critical to our research agenda.

The trio was seen together for the first time to announce their association for the bold and glamorous saga, with the unveiling of the first look of the film at the prestigious film festival. Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar and produced by UTV Motion Pictures, HEROINE will star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan essaying the role of a superstar. The film is scheduled to go on the floors in June this year. About the Film: After his incredible run of women-centric films from Chandni Bar, Page 3, Satta and Corporate to the blockbuster Fashion, produced by UTV, Madhur Bhandarkar now turns his lens inward and presents his most ambitious work yet - HEROINE. The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'. The film is an entertaining, daring, emotional, shocking, glamorous, scandalous behind the scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitz and glamour that our film stars inhabit. For a country obsessed with films and film stars, HEROINE will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see what really goes on behind the closed doors of make up rooms and vanity vans. It will give them a chance to go beyond the gorgeous smiles and politically correct quotes, to see what really happens in the lives of India's sweethearts - The sniping & the politics, the secrets & the lies, the incredible highs of fame & the lonely depths of failure.
