Description
Global Bollywood brings together leading scholars to examine the transnational and transmedia terrain of this prolific film industry. Defined as an arena of public culture distinct from Hindi-language Bombay cinema, the volume offers a new critical framework for analyzing the institutional, cultural, and political dimensions of Bollywood films and film music. The book explores contestations surrounding the term "Bollywood", changing relations between the state and the film industry, convergence with television and new media, online fan culture, film journalism, and the reception and negotiations of gender and sexuality in diverse socio-cultural contexts. This analysis is indispensable for understanding how global media flows are reconfiguring relationships among geography, cultural production, and cultural identity. By examining Bollywood through a critical lens, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of global popular culture.
