These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.

  • Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image's Ontology in Tamil Cinema

    Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image's Ontology in Tamil Cinema

    Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image’s Ontology in Tamil Cinema * Constantine V. Nakassis All Film Spoofs, No Spoof Films Commercial Tamil cinema has long been a travesty of itself, its textuality woven from so many citational allusions, homages, and self-parodies; and yet, until recently there was no such recognized genre of the spoof film, only “comedy tracks” trailing in the shadows of the grandiose hero and his more serious narrative, parodying his potent image here and there, most often through scenes of comically inverted or failed heroism (Nakassis 2010:209–221). In 2010, this was seen to have changed, with the release of a surfeit of spoof films—Venkat Prabhu’s Goa, Simbudevan’s Irumbu Kottai Mirattu Singam, and, most importantly for this paper, C. S. Amudhan’s aptly titled Thamizh Padam, or ‘Tamil Movie.’1 And then of course, there was that unwitting spoof hero, the self-proclaimed “Power Star,” Dr. S. Srinivasan, who entered the scene in 2011 with his unbel- ievably absurd, yet ambiguously self-serious, film (Lathika) and public persona (figure 1).2 Industry insiders and film enthusiasts often explain this seeming par- adox that Tamil cinema is all spoof with no spoofs by pointing to the self- seriousness of the industry—that is, that it can’t take a joke; or alter- natively by pointing to its cultural and historical particularity—that is, that “spoofs” are a foreign genre. But what is so notable is that the ind- ustry has long made jokes at its own expense. Think, for example, of Nagesh’s memorable comedy track from Sridhar’s classic 1964 romantic comedy Kadhalikka Neeramillai (‘No Time for Love’), which turns on Nagesh’s nascent film production: a parody of the film producer, Nagesh * Constantine V.

  • TAMIL CINEMA Tamil Cinema

    TAMIL CINEMA Tamil Cinema

    TAMIL CINEMA Tamil cinema (also known as Cinema of Tamil Nadu, the Tamil film industry or the Chennai film industry) is the film industry based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, dedicated to the production of films in the Tamil language. It is based in Chennai's Kodambakkam district, where several South Indian film production companies are headquartered. Tamil cinema is known for being India's second largest film industry in terms of films produced, revenue and worldwide distribution,[1] with audiences mainly including people from the four southern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Silent films were produced in Chennai since 1917 and the era of talkies dawned in 1931 with the film Kalidas.[2] By the end of the 1930s, the legislature of the State of Madras passed the Entertainment Tax Act of 1939.[3] Tamil cinema later had a profound effect on other filmmaking industries of India, establishing Chennai as a secondary hub for Telugu cinema, Malayalam cinema, Kannada cinema, and Hindi cinema. The industry also inspired filmmaking in Tamil diaspora populations in other countries, such as Sri Lankan Tamil cinema and Canadian Tamil cinema.[6] Film studios in Chennai are bound by legislation, such as the Cinematography Film Rules of 1948,[7] the Cinematography Act of 1952,[8] and the Copyright Act of 1957.[9] Influences Tamil cinema has been impacted by many factors, due to which it has become the second largest film industry of India. The main impacts of the early cinema were the cultural influences of the country. The Tamil language, ancient than the Sanskrit, was the medium in which many plays and stories were written since the ages as early as the Cholas.

    Poetics of Praise and Cinematic Encompassment

    Poetics of Praise and Cinematic Encompassment * Constantine V. Nakassis -- For John Bernard Bate (1960–2016) -- 1 Pure Tamil, Mass Hero The nineteenth century saw a transformation of politics and its ethnolin- guistic imaginary in the Madras Presidency. Colonial philological research into the relatedness of what became known as the Dravidian language family (Ellis 1816 [1849]; Caldwell 1856; Trautmann 1997, 2006; Mitchell 2009) proved that the south Indian languages—Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, as well as other, so-called tribal languages (Badaga, Toda, etc.)—came from a different genetic stock from the north Indian languages (viz. Indo-Aryan/European)—namely, Sanskrit and its congeners and da- ughter languages—and that its speakers, as later scholars in particular opined, were of a different ethno-racial and culture-historical population. Toward the final decades of the nineteenth century, Indian scholars such as U. Ve. Swaminatha Iyer (1855–1942) and C. W. Thamotharampillai (1832–1901) collected and anthologized (“discovered”), and thus made publicly available, the poems, epics, and grammars of Tamil antiquity— the so-called Sangam literature (~300 CE) (Shulman 2016:299ff.). Alongside this renaissance, as Sumathi Ramaswamy (1997) has detailed, was a resur- gence of Saivism—figured as distinct from north Indian, Aryan, Brahmin- ical Hinduism—as well as, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the non-Brahmin movement, a consortium of elite, upper-caste non-Brahmin Tamils who protested the Brahmin monopoly on colonial positions of power (Pandian 2007). Into the twentieth century, these different threads came to be art- iculated and transformed through the so-called Dravidian movement, a * Constantine V.
