These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses.

  • Desire, Youth, and Realism in Tamil Cinema
    05.JLIN.17.1_077-104.qxd 3/29/07 4:34 PM Page 77 I Constantine V. Nakassis UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA I Melanie A. Dean UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Desire, Youth, and Realism in Tamil Cinema This article first examines representations of women’s desire in Tamil cinema, from highly implicit and non-transgressive representations of desire in an older movie to lin- guistically explicit and transgressive representations of desire in a recent hit movie. We then examine how such contemporary filmic representations are related to what we call a mode of realist spectatorship, and how this mode of spectatorship is linked to a partic- ular social group (male youth) and to film form. We argue that the emergence of this mode of spectatorship, the films associated with it, and their connection to male youth are due to changes in the film market and to differential socialization by generation. Finally, we argue for realism in film as holding when film form and spectatorship are highly calibrated in the following way: some set of filmic representations are evaluated by viewers and filmmakers through culturally mediated classifications of “real” and “unreal” which are operationalized truth-functionally in events of evaluation; such rep- resentations presuppose these classifications, and by virtue of regular presupposition can entail an experience of “reality” for viewers. [anthropology of the media, realism, spectatorship, Indian cinema, Tamil Nadu] Introduction ndian cinema is famously popular in India, and this is no truer than in Tamil Nadu, India where the Tamil film industry rivals Hindi cinema in output, I(arguably) in quality, and in fan devotion.1 Most work on Tamil cinema empha- sizes either its connection with politics (Hardgrave 1973; Pandian 1992), its escapist utopian content (Dickey 1993, 1995), or, more recently, its relationship to the middle classes and the nation (Prasad 1998).
