Stardom in Contemporary Bollywood H-Announce Stardom in Contemporary Bollywood Announcement published by Aysha Iqbal on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 Type: Call for Papers Date: October 30, 2016 to December 31, 2017 Location: India Subject Fields: Film and Film History Call for Papers Stardom in Contemporary Bollywood: An edited anthology Editors: Aysha Iqbal Viswamohan (Dept of Humanities & Social Sciences, IIT Madras, India) [email protected] Clare Wilkinson (Dept of Anthropology, Washington State University, Vancouver, US) [email protected] Popular Hindi films stars are a vast but still largely untapped area of academic interest. Within film studies, a number of articles and book chapters have probed the significance of stars as compelling personas, industry assets and bellwethers of larger social trends. As yet, though, there is no volume or collection that brings together a set of reflections on stars and stardom in one forum. This edited volume fills this gap with a sustained and diverse consideration of the phenomenon of stardom in contemporary Bollywood. We believe that this is a particularly opportune moment to add to existing literature by taking a critical, in-depth look at stars individually and as a cohort. With the rise of social media and the intensified engagement of India in the global economy, stars in India are forging their identities not just through their on-screen images, and magazine and advertising appearances, but also through an intensified array of media platforms, product endorsements, and involvement in social causes. Theoretical contributions on western stars and their reception have relevance for Indian stars, but the conditions of the construction of stardom in India do not fully overlap with those in Hollywood. Stardom, in other words, is inseparable from fundamental shifts in India's media and culture. This book will offer the reader a theoretical analysis of stars and situate star making in a dynamic global context. At the current stage of development of the project we are still looking for contributions on the following stars: Citation: Aysha Iqbal. Stardom in Contemporary Bollywood.

  • 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.

  • 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.
