Studies on The organisers and the conference committee promise you many new insights, pro- Hindi Cinema as an intercultural cluster of practices and meanings have also been a ductive exchange with other scholars and a pleasant stay in Vienna! focus of interdisciplinary research as well as teaching at the University of Vienna for several years. The conference in Vienna is unique as it focuses on the signi cance of Shah Rukh Khan as the central icon for the new dynamics of global Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan has the reputation of holding the largest audience in the contemporary world of cinema comprising people from diverse places and cultural backgrounds. He has special ap- peal to large parts of the Indian Diaspora as well as to non South Asian audiences, particularly in Europe. Thus, in recent years Shah Rukh Khan lms have developed into cult media that form the basis of a very active fan culture like in German speak- ing countries. 6 7 th NASREEN MUNNI KABIR LONDON DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, FILM STUDIES The Worlds of Shah Rukh Khan Stars have never been as popular as they are today. Though Hollywood has largely dominated the world of entertainment, it came as a surprise to the West in the early OPENING LECTURE | SEPTEMBER 30 2000s, that millions of people were interested in an altogether di erent kind of cin- ema – Indian lm – and the stars of that cinema had far greater appeal for audienc- es from diverse religious, social and political worlds than ever imagined. Every de- cade, India has had its leading actors, but since the mid-nineties it is Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) who has emerged as India’s most popular star. Aided by the Net and his active Tweets, his fame continues to intensify and spread. Today his following rivals Beatle- mania at its height. As a documentary director/producer, Nasreen Munni Kabir made two lms (The In- ner and the Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan), which aimed to observe SRK up-close during his Temptations, 2004 as it toured the UK, and twelve North American cities, ending in Toronto, Canada. SRK has de ned for his generation (and it seems the next generation too) – the perfect fantasy of the Indian hero and in real life, he has come to enjoy a far bigger place in the collective psyche than his screen characters. But unusually this love works two-way. One of the many striking things about SRK is his admission of his addiction to stardom: “I’m very clear about loving stardom. I love people loving me. If I’m not going to be in that situation, I’ll just be with myself. I will not be able to come out of the four walls of my house and the crowd not screaming. I don’t think I’ll be able to do that.” The discussion in this paper will center around what this most charismatic star means to his fans and the psychology of a man caught in the eye of an adoring storm.

  • Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber
    Clare M. Wilkinson-Weber TAILORING EXPECTATIONS How film costumes become the audience’s clothes ‘Bollywood’ film costume has inspired clothing trends for many years. Female consumers have managed their relation to film costume through negotiations with their tailor as to how film outfits can be modified. These efforts have coincided with, and reinforced, a semiotic of female film costume where eroticized Indian clothing, and most forms of western clothing set the vamp apart from the heroine. Since the late 1980s, consumer capitalism in India has flourished, as have films that combine the display of material excess with conservative moral values. New film costume designers, well connected to the fashion industry, dress heroines in lavish Indian outfits and western clothes; what had previously symbolized the excessive and immoral expression of modernity has become an acceptable marker of global cosmopolitanism. Material scarcity made earlier excessive costume display difficult to achieve. The altered meaning of women’s costume in film corresponds with the availability of ready-to-wear clothing, and the desire and ability of costume designers to intervene in fashion retailing. Most recently, as the volume and diversity of commoditised clothing increases, designers find that sartorial choices ‘‘on the street’’ can inspire them, as they in turn continue to shape consumer choice. Introduction Film’s ability to stimulate consumption (responding to, and further stimulating certain kinds of commodity production) has been amply explored in the case of Hollywood (Eckert, 1990; Stacey, 1994). That the pleasures associated with film going have influenced consumption in India is also true; the impact of film on various fashion trends is recognized by scholars (Dwyer and Patel, 2002, pp.

  • Contributions of Lala Har Dayal As an Intellectual and Revolutionary
    CONTRIBUTIONS OF LALA HAR DAYAL AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ntiat ai pijtl000pi{g IN }^ ^ HISTORY By MATT GAOR CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ,,» '*^d<*'/. ' ABSTRACT India owes to Lala Har Dayal a great debt of gratitude. What he did intotality to his mother country is yet to be acknowledged properly. The paradox ridden Har Dayal - a moody idealist, intellectual, who felt an almost mystical empathy with the masses in India and America. He kept the National Independence flame burning not only in India but outside too. In 1905 he went to England for Academic pursuits. But after few years he had leave England for his revolutionary activities. He stayed in America and other European countries for 25 years and finally returned to England where he wrote three books. Har Dayal's stature was so great that its very difficult to put him under one mould. He was visionary who all through his life devoted to Boddhi sattava doctrine, rational interpretation of religions and sharing his erudite knowledge for the development of self culture. The proposed thesis seeks to examine the purpose of his returning to intellectual pursuits in England. Simultaneously the thesis also analyses the contemporary relevance of his works which had a common thread of humanism, rationalism and scientific temper. Relevance for his ideas is still alive as it was 50 years ago. He was true a patriotic who dreamed independence for his country. He was pioneer for developing science in laymen and scientific temper among youths.

  • 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.
