Book Bhojpuri Cinema (Paperback) GOIT8IDIHP / Bhojpuri Cinema (Paperback) # Kindle Bh ojpuri Cinema (Paperback) By Avijit Ghosh Penguin Books India Pvt Ltd, India, 2010. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: N/A. Brand New Book. Often considered kitschy and crude by polite society, Bhojpuri cinema has had astounding success from the 1990s onwards, which can only be explained by its overwhelming popularity among the other half of new India. What is it that makes Bhojpuri cinema tick? What is the logic of its aesthetics? And most importantly, how did these regional language films become a profitable industry? Answering many of these questions and written with a deep sensitivity for the genre, Cinema Bhojpuri is the one of the first studies of the history and themes of Bhojpuri cinema - the poor cousin of Bollywood. Basing his research on extensive personal interviews and analyses of trade journals from the 1960s onwards, Avijit Ghosh s fascinating study unveils much about Bhojpuri cinema - from the making of the first Bhojpuri film, Ganga Maiya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo, to the terrible lows of the 1980s when Bhojpuri cinema all but died, and right down to the present when the breathlessly-paced masala entertainers of Manoj Tiwari, Ravi Kishan and Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua gave life to what Hindi cinema had left behind - rural India.

  • Bhojpuri Media at a Crossroads Madhusri Shrivastava, [email protected]
    Sleaze, Slur… and the Search for a Sanitized Identity: Bhojpuri Media at a Crossroads Madhusri Shrivastava, [email protected] Volume 5.1 (2015) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2015.130 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract This article offers perspectives on those who control the Bhojpuri media industry in Mumbai, India, and delimit what is to be shown. Bhojpuri is a dialect of Hindi spoken in parts of the north Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The influx of migrants from these regions to different parts of India has led to a resurgence of interest in the Bhojpuri media, and has drawn fly-by-night operators to the industry. To cater to the migrants’ needs, ribald action romances are produced; but this very bawdiness hamstrings attempts to widen the audience base. The article examines the issues that plague the industry, and explores the ways in which the industry is struggling to carve a sanitized, yet distinctive identity.

  • Linguistic Diversity in South Asia, Reconsidered CONSTANTINE V
    Linguistic Diversity in South Asia, Reconsidered CONSTANTINE V. NAKASSIS AND E. ANNAMALAI The University of Chicago, USA Introduction Linguistic Diversity in South Asia, the landmark volume edited by Charles Ferguson and John Gumperz and published in 1960, was a watershed in South Asian studies and sociolinguistics, opening a host of conceptual and empirical issues that set the agenda for generations of scholars. Over 50 years later, in this entry we critically reconsider what this phrase, “linguistic diversity in South Asia” might mean for a new generation of sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists, whose work, we argue, deconstructs every term in this phrase in ways that productively advance the interventions of Ferguson and Gumperz and the fields they helped to inaugurate. By all accounts, South Asia is and has been a linguistically diverse place: at least four language families (Austro-Asiatic, Dravidian, Indo-European, Tibeto-Burman, plus the various groups of sign languages across South Asia [Morgan, Green, and Khanal 2016]), hundreds of named languages (Asher 2008) and thousands of regional dialects, count- less enregistered varieties (by caste, class, gender, age, medium, institutional context, subculture, etc.), as well as distinct semantic structures (Bright 1968; Annamalai 2012), multiple scripts and graphemic styles (Daniels and Bright 1996, 371–442; Sridhar and Kachru 2000; Choksi 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018), and a cornucopia of discourse genres (literary, religious, academic, political, journalistic, storytelling, astrology reading, doc- ument writing, etc.). Of course, as sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists have long argued, variation and multilingualism are the norm when it comes to language. In South Asia, it would seem, it really is the norm.

  • Case Studies of the Kannada and Bhojpuri Culture Industries
    ECONOMY, POLITICS, CULTURE INDUSTRY: CASE STUDIES OF THE KANNADA AND BHOJPURI CULTURE INDUSTRIES I. REPORT ON THE KANNADA CULTURE INDUSTRY By P.Radhika, CIDASIA, CSCS with inputs from S.V.Srinivas and Sravanthi Kollu, CIDASIA, CSCS, Sushmitha S. and B.Shrikanth Kannada Film Industry and Linguistic Identity The link between culture and politics has been done in different ways. If we take the specific instance of Kannada cultural production, its centrality in the Kannada identity movement has been argued through tracing how Kannada linguistic nationalism has articulated itself through the site of the print and cinema industry—beginning with the high literary writings of Alur Venkat Rao, Galaganatha and B.M.Srikantiah in the colonial period and then the shift to popular culture, especially Kannada cinema in the post-independence period (Prasad 2003-2004, Nair 2005).1 We present a different argument here: Kannada identity politics is a projection of the underground economy of the Kannada cultural industry. Such a mapping should not be mistaken as a reading of an identity politics in ‗economic‘ terms where the linguistic is seen as a ‗false layering‘ to the ‗true economic tensions beneath‘ but as a revisiting of the cultural through the economic in more complex ways. The importance of understanding cultural economy is not merely confined to financial transactions and profit-making of culture industry but is closely tied to political articulations that emerge from this underground economy. The moment of political articulation is important because it is at this moment that the economic value of the cultural commodity meets its cultural value in a context otherwise of the difficulty of translating cultural value into economic value.

As these developments take place under the shadow of Bollywood, the thesis also studies the aesthetic, political, and infrastructural nature of the relationship between vernacular media industries – Bhojpuri in particular – and Bollywood. The thesis then argues that Bhojpuri cinema, even as it provincialises Bollywood, aspires to sit beside it instead of displacing it. The outrightly confrontational readings notwithstanding, the thesis grapples with the ways in which the vernacular departs from its corresponding cosmopolitan form and how it negotiates cultural representation as an industry.
