Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema has been, and is, a powerful tool for social mobilisation. The political importance of cinema was of course always well-known and has continued to evolve and grow. However, with innovations in modern technology, there has been the exponential growth of television alongside the movies, with content made especially for TV, as well as social media. This volume covers developments in Indian Cinema over the last decade. It explores an array of changes which has dramatically changed cinema — a surge of new filming and broadcasting technologies, from the camera phone to the most sophisticated digital equipment; an avalanche of talent, from trained to completely untrained actors; and a volume of content difficult to document and categorise. It also studies cinema growth and reactions to the onslaught of home entertainment and discusses its changing formats over the years, from TV to satellite, to VCRs and DVDs, serials to OTT streaming platforms. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in film studies, performance studies, cultural studies, media studies, and popular culture. It will also interest professionals working in media and entertainment industries.

Download or read book The Working of the Indian Constitution written by Arghya Sengupta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Constitution has held the country together for 75 years now. This volume demonstrates the Constitution is not a static document and has seen several amendments and interpretations over the years. It delves into how the document has worked for the people since its adoption — its strengths and weaknesses, its many interpretations, how it has influenced and shaped our collectives over time and in turn been shaped by the people. The Indian Constitution clearly vests power in the hands of its people. This volume critically examines how the longest written national Constitution is made successful by people who take its spirit to heart and let it inform their activities, and how like anywhere in the world, it is a work in progress. It covers a range of debates on issues such as individual freedom (of expression, of association, freedom to lead lives of dignity, etc.), liberty (freedom from oppression), the right to life, right to equality, justice, among several others. The book contains essays by judges, lawyers and academics who describe the journey of the Constitution through doctrine, case-law, and comparative analyses with other countries. At the same time, it also contains essays by doctors, politicians, activists, bureaucrats, and a number of methodologically diverse essays by a host of demographically diverse writers. The volume will be an indispensable read for scholars and researchers of legal studies, political scientists, governance, public policy, modern history, and South Asia studies. It will also be of immense interest to political scientists, political theorists, legal scholars, historians, lawyers, and general readers interested in the history of the Indian Constitution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the historical evolution of Indian cinema through a number of key decades. The book is made up of 14 chapters with each chapter focusing on one key film, the chosen films analysed in their wider social, political and historical context whilst a concerted engagement with various ideological strands that underpin each film is also evident. In addition to exploring the films in their wider contexts, the author analyses selected sequences through the conceptual framework common to both film and media studies. This includes a consideration of narrative, genre, representation, audience and mise-en-scene. The case studies run chronologically from Awaara (The Vagabond, 1951) to The Elements Trilogy: Water (2005) and include films by such key figures as Satyajit Ray (The Lonely Wife), Ritwick Ghatak (Cloud Capped Star), Yash Chopra (The Wall) and Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!).
