  • Bollywood Lens Syllabus
    Bollywood's Lens on Indian Society Professor Anita Weiss INTL 448/548, Spring 2018 [email protected] Mondays, 4-7:20 pm 307 PLC; 541 346-3245 Course Syllabus Film has the ability to project powerful images of a society in ways conventional academic mediums cannot. This is particularly true in learning about India, which is home to the largest film industries in the world. This course explores images of Indian society that emerge through the medium of film. Our attention will be focused on the ways in which Indian society and history is depicted in film, critical social issues being explored through film; the depicted reality vs. the historical reality; and the powerful role of the Indian film industry in affecting social orientations and values. Course Objectives: 1. To gain an awareness of the historical background of the subcontinent and of contemporary Indian society; 2. To understand the sociocultural similarities yet significant diversity within this culture area; 3. To learn about the political and economic realities and challenges facing contemporary India and the rapid social changes the country is experiencing; 4. To learn about the Indian film industry, the largest in the world, and specifically Bollywood. Class format Professor Weiss will open each class with a short lecture on the issues which are raised in the film to be screened for that day. We will then view the selected film, followed by a short break, and then extensive in- class discussion. Given the length of most Bollywood films, we will need to fast-forward through much of the song/dance and/or fighting sequences.

  • Brief Historical Overview A. Indus Valley Civilization
    Brief Historical Overview A. Indus Valley civilization (3,000-1,500 B.C.) 1. 3,000-2,000 B.C.: high civilization, urban, literate, settled agriculture; Harappa/Mohenjo Daro (first grid plan cities) 2. 2,000-1,500 B.C.: Indo-Aryan invasion, pushed Dravidians South, and brought an Aryan group which had a strong hierarchical division between priests, warriors and nomads, and a language similar to Sanskrit (an Indo-Aryan/Indo-European language) B. Vedic Age - 1500 – 1000 BC 1. Vedas: poetic Sanskrit hymns passed down orally for thousands of years ( mostly fire sacrifices, chants, and spells) 2. Rig Veda: 1028 Hymns of praise to Aryan gods (personified forces of nature). C. Classical period (600 B.C. to 600 A.D.): Articulation of Hinduism (Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita); establishment of varna system (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras) - which provided the foundation of the present jajmani system (to be discussed Week Three) D. Islamic period: invasion by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1057 A.D., from Afghanistan; followed by the Sultanate of Delhi (1206-1526); the great Mughal empire (1527-1857): best known emperors were Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jehan (builder of the Taj Mahal); effective rule ended in 1748. Akbar created a political system which provided a synthesis of the great diversities in India, which provides a model for accommodation between groups today. [Note: Be thinking of this as we watch Jodhaa Akbar.] E. The British Raj 1. First entered as the British East India Company in Bengal. 2. Established various kinds of taxation and land tenure systems, and organized groups (e.g., tribes, zamindars) into new forms.

  • 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.

Doordarshan have generously extended media partnership to the conference. Images in the brochure are selected from Sarai Archive collections. Sponsors Media Partner 2 The Idea Remembering legendary beginnings provides us the occasion to redefine and make contemporary the history we set out to honour. We need to complicate the idea of origins and `firsts’ because they highlight some dimensions of film culture and usage over others, and obscure the wider network of media technologies, cultural practices, and audiences which made cinema possible. In India, it is a matter of debate whether D.G. Phalke's Raja Harishchandra (1913), popularly referred to as the first Indian feature film, deserves that accolade. As Rosie Thomas has shown, earlier instances of the story film can be identified, includingAlibaba (Hiralal Sen, 1903), an Arabian Nights fantasy which would point to the presence of a different cultural universe from that provided by Phalke's Hindu mythological film. Such a revisionary history is critical to our research agenda.

  • Catch a Falling Star
    DATA TRACKER Catch a falling star Who would have thought that Aamir Khan, once the heartthrob of millions, would become the target of so much ridicule and public anger? The star had a dream debut with Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, and subsequently won scores of fans and critical acclaim with movies like Rang de Basanti, Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots, among many others. His popularity soared with a television show that he produced and anchored, called Satyameva Jayate (SMJ) — a talk show around social problems such as inequality, abused women, child trafficking and such others. SMJ was Aamir’s first turn on a political stage and the three seasons, that it played for, resulted in donations pouring in from the public, for a number of causes TOP 10 CELEBRITIES IN PRINT BY NEWS BUZZ National Celebrity % PR Share in Bollywood Industry Rank Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 Jan - Oct ‘14 Jan - Oct ‘15 1 Salman Khan Salman Khan 4.8 6 !" 2 Shah Rukh Khan Amitabh Bachchan 4.0 4 # 3 Amitabh Bachchan Shah Rukh Khan 3.3 3 $ 4 Deepika Padukone Deepika Padukone 3.0 3 !" 5 Priyanka Chopra Ranbir Kapoor 2.6 2 # 6 AAMIR KHAN Akshay Kumar 2.5 2 # 7 Ranbir Kapoor Priyanka Chopra 2.3 2 $ 8 Akshay Kumar AAMIR KHAN 2.2 2 $ 9 Hrithik Roshan Kangana Ranaut 2.1 2 New 10 Kareena Kapoor Anushka Sharma 2.1 2 New Sometime towards the beginning of last year, things began to unravel for Aamir Khan.
