SUMMARY:History of India Through Bollywood
DESCRIPTION:
 If nations are imagined, how does popular and 
 mainstream cinema in India contribute to that 
 imagination? What relationship does the fantastic 
 and make-believe world of Bollywood do 
 to the idea of India? This talk will focus upon 
 milestones in Hindi cinema (called Bollywood 
 after liberalization of the 1990s) to demonstrate 
 implicit and explicit interaction between 
 cinema and sociopolitical contexts in India. 
 In doing so, it will move back and forth 
 between the nation's anxieties about gender, 
 caste, religion, class and cinematic representations 
 to show the real and reel cannot be 
 seen in discrete terms but mutually constitutive 
 entities. \n
