  • Packet of Curricular Materials
    May 12, 2000 Dear Colleagues: I am one of this year’s Midwest Faculty Fellows with the Regional Worlds Program. This spring Richard Guzman, a Midwest Faculty Fellow from North Central College, and I have been involved in organizing the pedagogy session that will be part of the upcoming Regional Worlds Capstone Conference, “Mobile Geographies, Plural Histories.” The session is entitled, “New Paradigms in Area Studies Teaching,” and will be held on Saturday, May 20th from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon at the Franke Institute of the Humanities, Regenstein Library. Discussions about pedagogy have been a very important dimension of the Regional Worlds Program and our session next Saturday provides an opportunity to involve participants from this year’s program, “Diasporas, Minorities and Counter Geographies,” as well as participants from the three previous programs, “South Asia 1996-97,” “Latin America 1997-98,” and “East Asia 1998- 1999.” In planning this session we wanted to address tandem goals. First, we wanted to look at some of the specific curricular initiatives that emerged as a direct result of faculty participation in Regional Worlds. David Moore (International Studies, Macalester College], Arjun Guneratne (Anthropology, Macalester College], Jerome Levi (Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton College), Kathleen Ryor (Art History, Carleton College], and Nandini Bhattacharya (English, Valparaiso University] have kindly agreed to share syllabi of courses they developed or revised as a result of their participation in the Program. In addition, I asked them to provide us with some information contextualizing the courses in terms of Regional Worlds and/or their particular institutional frameworks. The syllabi and statements are attached.

  • Looking at Popular Muslim Films Through the Lens of Genre
    Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, Vol. IX, No. 1, 2017 0975-2935 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v9n1.17 Full Text: http://rupkatha.com/V9/n1/v9n117.pdf Is Islamicate a Genre? Looking at Popular Muslim Films through the Lens of Genre Asmita Das Department of Film Studies, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. ORCID: 0000-0002-7307-5818. Email: [email protected] Received February 25, 2017; Revised April 9, 2017; Accepted April 10, 2017; Published May 7, 2017. Abstract This essay engages with genre as a theory and how it can be used as a framework to determine whether Islamicate or the Muslim films can be called a genre by themselves, simply by their engagement with and representation of the Muslim culture or practice. This has been done drawing upon the influence of Hollywood in genre theory and arguments surrounding the feasibility / possibility of categorizing Hindi cinema in similar terms. The essay engages with films representing Muslim culture, and how they feed into the audience’s desires to be offered a window into another world (whether it is the past or the inner world behind the purdah). It will conclude by trying to ascertain whether the Islamicate films fall outside the categories of melodrama (which is the most prominent and an umbrella genre that is represented in Indian cinema) and forms a genre by itself or does the Islamicate form a sub-category within melodrama. Keywords: genre, Muslim socials, socials, Islamicate films, Hindi cinema, melodrama. 1. Introduction The close association between genre and popular culture (in this case cinema) ensured generic categories (structured by mass demands) to develop within cinema for its influence as a popular art.

  • Bollywood Cinema Show Cards: Indian Film Art from the 1950S to the 1980S
    Bollywood Cinema Show Cards: Indian Film Art from the 1950s to the 1980s This exhibition follows the historic and stylistic development of Hindi film advertising during Indian’s independence from Britain in 1947 to the 1980s—just before India entered into the global economy. Most people have heard of Bollywood cinema: the commercial film industry based in the port city of Bombay-- now called Mumbai-- on the western coast of India. The term “Bollywood” is derived from combining “Bombay” with “Hollywood” and reflects an early awareness of international cinema in India. Today Bollywood, alongside other Indian film industries, produces over 800 films a year, making India’s film industry one of the largest in the world. Most Bollywood films today follow the masala or “mixed” format, a style developed in the 1960s. 1 These fantastical films tend to be around three hours long and rely on viewers detaching themselves from an everyday reality. Plots tend to have many characters and follow non- linear narratives. Films are shot in multiple locations and the song and dance scenes, a key component of Bollywood cinema, contribute to the spectacular nature of these larger- than-life films. While Bollywood films have been studied by scholars and received much media attention, the culture of advertising has not. This exhibition seeks to change that by focusing on one specific form of advertising—the Show Card. Though sizes vary, most Show Cards are roughly ¾ of a meter long by ½ a meter wide: some horizontally or landscape oriented, others vertically or portrait. All feature colourful collages of photographic stills that have been mounted on cardboard then hand-tinted.

  • English Language and Literature Core Course VIII – Film Studies
    English Language and Literature SEMESTER V Core Course VIII – Film Studies (EN 1543) Part 2 FILM MOVEMENTS SOVIET MONTAGE (1924-1930) • Montage is a technique in film editing in which a series of shorts are edited into a sequence to compact space, time, and information. • Visual montage may combine shots to tell a story chronologically or may juxtapose images to produce an impression or to illustrate an association of ideas. • Montage technique developed early in cinema, primarily through the work of the American directors Edwin S. Porter and D.W. Griffith. Soviet Montage • Soviet Montage Montage describes cutting together images that aren’t in spatial or temporal continuity. • Director Lev Kulshov first conceptualized montage theory on the basis that one frame may not be enough to convey an idea or an emotion • •The audience are able to view two separate images and subconsciously give them a collective context. • In the 1920s, a lack of film stock meant that Soviet filmmakers often re-edited existing films or learned how to make films by deconstructing old ones rather than shooting new material. • When they did shoot film, they often had only short lengths of film left over from other productions, so they not only used short shots, they often planned them in great detail. Kuleshov Effect • Kuleshov experiment is a good example. • The basic notion that a subsequent image could affect the viewer’s interpretation of the previous one was supported by behavioral psychology theories popular at the time. • Kuleshov concluded from his experiment that editing created the opportunity to link entirely unrelated material in the minds of the viewers, who were no longer seen as simply absorbing meaning from the images, but actually creating meaning by associating the different images and drawing meaning from their juxtaposition.
