Cinema enlisted dance from its very beginnings – the spectacular display of movement. The shared investment in movement ensured a spontaneous intermediality (transgression of boundaries) between early cinema and dance. Songs with dance have always played a crucial role in Hindi movies. The role of song and its demand changed with the entry of „item songs‟.

  • The 'Item Number' in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox
    Journal of Culture, Society and Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8400 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.39, 2018 The ‘Item Number’ in Indian Cinema: Deconstructing the Paradox Isha Jain (Corresponding author) National Law School of India University, Bangalore, India Abstract The “item number” is a hyper-sexualised song-and-dance performance that is characteristic to mainstream Bollywood cinema. When viewed in the context of a general tendency towards the censorship of public depictions of sexualized women in other spheres of the Indian polity, the ubiquity and popularity of item numbers reflects a confounding cultural paradox. The aim of this article is to deconstruct this paradox, by identifying the narrative structures and plot devices employed by film-makers to market these performances without suffering the disapproval of either the Indian State apparatus or the purportedly prudish Indian cinema- goer. Introduction The Indian State, through both its formal and informal centres of power, continues to burden the Indian woman with the charge of guarding national pride, culture, and morality.1 The defiling of the Indian woman, synonymous with her sexualisation, is the defiling of India. This parallel is evident in the title of “Mother India”, a 1957 film centred around a de-sexualised, self-sacrificial female protagonist intended to be emblematic of both the ideal Indian woman and of India herself.2 Yet, the Indian film industry has succeeded at carving out a niche for the commodification and sale of female sexuality within a broader milieu characterised by the disapprobation of that very sexuality. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the “item number”,3 a hyper-sexualised cinematic performance that is both paradoxically and quintessentially Bollywood.

  • Le Calendrier 2017 Présenté À Paris Par Peter Lindbergh
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE PIRELLI : LE CALENDRIER 2017 PRÉSENTÉ À PARIS PAR PETER LINDBERGH Rendez-vous sur www.pirellicalendar.com pour accéder aux contenus exclusifs sur la nouvelle édition de The Cal™ Paris, le 29 novembre 2016 – Le Calendrier Pirelli 2017, réalisé par Peter Lindbergh, grand nom de la photographie sur la scène internationale, a été présenté aujourd’hui à Paris. L’édition 2017 du Calendrier, qui suit celle de 2016 signée Annie Leibovitz, fait du virtuose allemand de la photographie le seul photographe à avoir été invité pour la troisième fois à réaliser le Calendrier Pirelli, après l’édition de 1996, mise en scène dans le désert El Mirage, en Californie, et l’édition 2002, réalisée dans les studios de la Paramount Pictures, à Los Angeles. Sans oublier le cinquantième anniversaire du Calendrier, en 2014, à l’occasion duquel Pirelli fit de nouveau appel à Peter Lindbergh, aux côtés de Patrick Demarchelier. Si l’on tient compte des années de pause dans sa publication, le Calendrier Pirelli, né en 1964, en est cette année à sa quarante-quatrième édition. Le photographe lui-même tient à expliquer le fil conducteur du Calendrier Pirelli 2017: «A une époque où les femmes sont représentées par les médias et partout ailleurs comme des ambassadrices de la perfection et de la beauté, j’ai estimé qu’il était important de rappeler à tous qu’il existe une autre beauté, plus réelle et authentique, non manipulée par la publicité ou autre. Une beauté qui exprime l’individualité, le courage d’être soi-même et la sensibilité».

    Kervan – International Journal of Afro-Asiatic Studies n. 21 (2017) Item Girls and Objects of Dreams: Why Indian Censors Agree to Bold Scenes in Bollywood Films Tatiana Szurlej The article presents the social background, which helped Bollywood film industry to develop the so-called “item numbers”, replace them by “dream sequences”, and come back to the “item number” formula again. The songs performed by the film vamp or the character, who takes no part in the story, the musical interludes, which replaced the first way to show on the screen all elements which are theoretically banned, and the guest appearances of film stars on the screen are a very clever ways to fight all the prohibitions imposed by Indian censors. Censors found that film censorship was necessary, because the film as a medium is much more popular than literature or theater, and therefore has an impact on all people. Indeed, the viewers perceive the screen story as the world around them, so it becomes easy for them to accept the screen reality and move it to everyday life. That’s why the movie, despite the fact that even the very process of its creation is much more conventional than, for example, the theater performance, seems to be much more “real” to the audience than any story shown on the stage. Therefore, despite the fact that one of the most dangerous elements on which Indian censorship seems to be extremely sensitive is eroticism, this is also the most desired part of cinema. Moreover, filmmakers, who are tightly constrained, need at the same time to provide pleasure to the audience to get the invested money back, so they invented various tricks by which they manage to bypass censorship.
