  • Discourses of Merit and Agrarian Morality in Telugu Popular Cinema
    Communication, Culture & Critique ISSN 1753-9129 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Looking Back at the Land: Discourses of Agrarian Morality in Telugu Popular Cinema and Information Technology Labor Padma Chirumamilla School of Information, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA This article takes Anand Pandian’s notion of “agrarian civility” as a lens through which we can begin to understand the discourses of morality, merit, and exclusivity that color both popular Telugu film and Telugu IT workers’ understanding of their technologically enabled work. Popular Telugu film binds visual qualities of the landscape and depictions of heroic technological proficiency to protagonists’ internal dispositions and moralities. I examine the portrayal of the landscape and of technology in two Telugu films: Dhee … kotti chudu,and Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, in order to more clearly discern the nature of this agrarian civility and—more importantly for thinking about Telugu IT workers— to make explicit its attribution of morality to “merit” and to technological proficiency. Keywords: Information Technology, Morality, Telugu Cinema, Merit, Agrarian Civility. doi:10.1111/cccr.12144 InachasesceneinthepopularTelugufilmDhee … kotti chudu,anameless gangster—having just killed off his rival’s family—is fleeing to Bangalore from Hyderabad, driving along roads surrounded by rocky, barren outcrops, and shriveled patches of trees. The rival’s boss confronts him unexpectedly on the deserted road, quickly and seemingly instantaneously surrounding him with his own men and vehicles, before killing him in retaliation. The film then quickly moves on to its main character, a rather comedic scam artist, and its main spaces, in the city of Hyderabad.1 This particular stretch of barren landscape—scene to the violence that underlies a significant revenge plot woven into the film’s story—is not returned to.

  • A Comparative Study on Folk Songs and Western Songs in the Contemporary Tamil Cinema
    International Journal of Computer Sciences and Engineering Open Access Review Paper Vol.-6, Issue-12, Dec 2018 E-ISSN: 2347-2693 A Comparative Study On Folk Songs and Western Songs in the Contemporary Tamil Cinema 1*M. Iyyanar, 2 C. Jebakumar 1Technician Electronic Media, Centre for Electronic Media, Pondicherry University, Pondicherry, India 2Dept. of Visual Communication, Dr. Ambedkar Govt. Arts College, Chennai, India Corresponding Author: [email protected] Available online at: www.ijcseonline.org Accepted: 27/Dec/2018, Published: 31/Dec/2018 Abstract: The aim of the research work is to compare the folk songs and western songs in the recent Tamil cinema. Also, this research examines memory and lyrical content of songs in recent Tamil films. In this experimental research, an experiment was carried out to find out the stress factors, memory level of words, and content relevance. A comparative study between the folk songs and western songs was conducted among the viewers of the film audience. The members divided into three groups. Those group members were shown different film songs for thirty minutes. The standardized NSAD stress questionnaire used to study the stress level among the members. The folk songs which are being used in this experimental study are, Naatupurapaatu, Kilakku Seemaiyele, and Enthiran. These film songs are categorized into traditional folk songs, (traditional instruments), modernized folk songs, (fusion of classical and modern instruments), and western songs (computerized instruments). These film’s songs show the differences in lyrics, instruments, fusion and modernized music. This experimental research clearly shows the differences in memory of the lyrics and musical beats.

  • Tamil Film (Kollywood) Choreography As Screen Dance Sandhiya Kalyanasundaram
    76 Navigating Hyperrealities : Tamil Film (Kollywood) Choreography as Screen Dance Sandhiya Kalyanasundaram Abstract This essay discusses the choreographic ethos that integrates technology and dance as an evolving mode of storytelling in South Indian (Tamil-Kollywood) movies by tracing the work of director Shankar Shanmugam. Through analyses of song-dance sequences, I identify three key principles for using screendance techniques, and reflect on how these innovations contribute to cultivating and shaping the audience imagination. The audience is challenged to further engage at multiple levels and grapple with the relationships between human and more than human worlds. In the Kollywood scene, there is a constant quest for new techniques that can embrace inner realities. Keywords: Hyperreal time-space, Kollywood screendance, embodied technology, Indian narratology, perception Before him, a film mounted on a huge scale would be described as being “like a Hollywood movie.” Now, we just say it looks… like a Shankar movie – Baradwaj Rangan1 Through this essay I am interested in outlining the specific Tamil film ethos that is rapidly evolving its storytelling modes in response to 1) a fast-changing social identity developed as a result of the changing Indian political, ecological and social landscape; 2) critical discourses about the individual and their role in society and the portrayal of the female characters; 3) what it means to be human in a world of technology and consumerism; 4) questioning the role of cinema and cinema artists in contributing to a dialogue about living our anthropocentric lives whilst beginning to inquire empathetically into more-than-human worlds; 5) bridging the quest of the artists and the audiences alike.

  • URBAN UTOPIAS EXCESS and EXPULSION in NEOLIBERAL SOUTH ASIA Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology
    EDITED BY TEREZA KULDOVA AND MATHEW A. VARGHESE URBAN UTOPIAS EXCESS AND EXPULSION IN NEOLIBERAL SOUTH ASIA Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology Series Editors Italo Pardo School of Anthropology and Conservation University of Kent Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom Giuliana B. Prato School of Anthropology and Conservation University of Kent Canterbury, United Kingdom Aim of the series Half of humanity lives in towns and cities and that proportion is expected to increase in the coming decades. Society, both Western and ­non- Western, is fast becoming urban and mega-urban as existing cities and a growing number of smaller towns are set on a path of demographic and spatial expansion. Given the disciplinary commitment to an empirically-­ based analysis, anthropology has a unique contribution to make to our ­understanding of our evolving urban world. It is in such a belief that we have established the Palgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology series. In the awareness of the unique contribution that ethnography offers for a better theoretical and practical grasp of our rapidly changing and increasingly complex cities, the series will seek high-quality contributions from anthropologists and other social scientists, such as geographers, political scientists, sociologists and others, engaged in empirical research in diverse ethnographic settings. Proposed topics should set the agenda concerning new debates and chart new theoretical directions, encouraging reflection on the significance of the anthropological paradigm in urban research and its centrality to mainstream academic debates and to society more broadly. The series aims to promote critical scholarship in international ­anthropology. Volumes published in the series should address theoretical and methodological issues, showing the relevance of ethnographic research in understanding the socio-cultural, demographic, economic and geo-­political changes of contemporary society.

Youth and Status in Tamil Nadu, India Abstract This sociocultural anthropological study looks at youth culture in Tamil Nadu, India, focusing on college- age youth in Madurai and Chennai. The dissertation first shows how outhy experience their position in the larger Tamil society as “being outside of.” This exteriority is manifest in youth concepts of status and gender, the signs and activities which express such status and gender, and the social spaces in which such signs and activities are played out. In particular, the dissertation focuses on how the youth peer group is dually shaped as an exterior space of youth status negotiation—as exterior to adult norms of authority (and thus a space of status-raising qua transgression) and as exterior to norms of hierarchical ranking (and thus an egalitarian space of status-leveling, intimacy, and reciprocity). It is this tension between status-raising and -lowering which the dissertation shows to be crucially at play in how youth engage with and deploy various status-ful signs.
