The over-the-top musicals of Bollywood may be the most familiar aspect of Indian popular culture, but there are many more, all explored in this fascinating volume. Pop Culture India! Media, Arts, and Lifestyle follows the rise of modern India's pop culture world, especially since the 1980s, when relaxed censorship and economic liberalization led to an explosion in movies, music, mass media, consumerism, spiritual practices, and more. It is a captivating introduction to a diverse nation whose appetite for entertainment has led to some surprising twists and turns in recent history. How did a popular Indian television series spark a change in government and the rise of Hindu nationalism? Are some Bollywood film companies laundering money for organized crime, or even al Qaeda? What accounts for the overwhelming popularity of that quaint vestige of colonialism, cricket? The answers, and many more intriguing insights, await the reader in Pop Culture India!

Contemporary India may be said to be in the throes of a transitionality that defines itself in terms of a challenge to earlier paradigms of nationhood and developmentalism. Rapid political, economic, social and cultural transformations that have taken place over the last two decades impelled by a world order that has seen the collapse of socialism and, attendant upon it, a reversal of the decolonization process and a globalizing neo-imperialism have set in motion new ways of looking at the past and positioning the present. In the sphere of culture and the arts, these new reflections manifest themselves as a series of questions: about how to rediscover domestic/indigenous spaces without dis-engaging from the world system or rejecting internationalism; about the assimilative inclusiveness yet alienating exclusion that accompanies changing contours of identity formation; about the tension between the private and the public in the artist s dual role as practitioner and citizen; about creative strategies/reinventions that simultaneously negotiate older cognitive frames and seek to transform these into fresh certitudes. The questions surface in various modes: some-times reflectively, sometimes oppositionally, sometimes in deflected stances, but always with a sense of responsibility and as sited interrogations, conscious of where they come from. These are the questions that underline the conceptual grid of this book.The book is divided into three main sections exposition body.city , frames , body.city figures that lead into each other but not sequentially, relying instead on the inter-connectivity of their textual and visual thematic concerns. The opening section is a set of four essays that explore the specific themes of the body and the city as these translate into modes of representation, performativity and placement. Jyotindra Jain, in Morphing Identities: Reconfiguring the Divine and the Political , discusses the role played by an eclectic range of popular imagery in constructing cultural, social and national identities. In subTerrain: artists dig the contemporary , Geeta Kapur extends the pun in her title to a reasoned-out proposition for locating the subversion of art practice in the interstices of urban spaces, to be excavated through the force of interpretation. Ravi Vasudevan, in Selves Made Strange: Violent and Performative Bodies in the Cities of Indian Cinema, 1974 2003 , explores the body space articulations of screen personas and city environments in the narrative space of today s cinema. In Actors Prepare , Anuradha Kapur s focus is the actor s body, the body in performance. She discusses performance styles in terms of how actors move between the abstract and the tangible and enter into a contract with their audiences by using different modes and by locating the body in different registers. The images reproduced in the book constitute a parallel visual narrative that reinforces the central themes. Interspersed with the text in the first two sections and coming together in the third section, these have a representational value of their own in the scheme of the book. The second section, frames , sets up a vantage point from which to view contemporary cultural practice and provides points of theoretical departure. These include: the notion of civil society in the third world (Sudipta Kaviraj); unfolding forms of collaboration and resistance in the new Indian metropolis (Partha Chatterjee); the shift away from secular, inclusive nationalisms to anti-modern, patriarchal particularisms that parade as nationalism (Pradip Kumar Datta, Kumkum Sangari); the re-imaging of the nation s geo-body through popular cartographic endeavours; and a look at identity formation through an exploration of literary texts (Susie Tharu, Amitav Ghosh).Indira Chandrasekhar is Managing Editor of Tulika Books, New Delhi.Peter C. Seel is Deputy Director of the House of World Cultures, Berlin.The editors of the volume make it clear that the project . . . is a deliberate attempt at distancing the act of enquiry itself from any easy, misleading glibness. It firmly and deliberately locates the critiques it produces within select urban centres . . . that happen to reflect the myriad relations between globalization, local traditions and newly designed living spaces in a particular way, consciously choosing the interface where the social and political conflicts that are central concerns in the artists works are at their most virulent .The Arts News Magazine of India

This cross-cultural content analysis (which merged traditional content analysis method with semiotic concepts) compared advertising in the United States (a highly individualistic and low-context culture) and India (a highly collectivist and high-context culture). The study examined the characteristics, differences and similarities in advertising strategies and expressions. A stratified random sample of advertisements for consumer products was selected from nationally circulated news magazines and business magazines of each country between January 1993 and December 1994 (Time and Business Week from the United States; India Today and Business India from India). This study found that there were significant differences in the way the two cultures produced advertising messages and that differential cultural values were reflected in their advertising expressions. The findings revealed that the U.S. advertisements utilized direct rhetorical styles, individualistic visual stances, sexual portrayals of women and comparative approaches more often than their Indian counterparts. The Indian ads utilized indirect rhetorical styles, collective visual stances and stereotypical portrayals of women more frequently than did the U.S. ads. The evidence of specific cross-cultural differences suggests that perhaps the proponents of "standardization of international advertising" have promoted an oversimplification. This cross-cultural study suggests that caution should be exercised when considering standardization in advertising and other forms of promotional communication between divergent cultures.

This book examines the development of television in India since the early 1990s, and its implications for Indian society more widely. Until 1991, India possessed only a single state-owned television channel, but since then there has been a rapid expansion in independent satellite channels which came as a complete break from the statist control of the past. This book explores this transformation, explaining how television, a medium that developed in the industrial West, was adapted to suit Indian conditions, and in turn has altered Indian social practices, making possible new ways of imagining identities, conducting politics and engaging with the state. In particular, satellite television initially came to India as the representative of global capitalism but it was appropriated by Indian entrepreneurs and producers who Indianized it. Considering the full gamut of Indian television - from "national" networks in English and Hindi to the state of regional language networks – this book elucidates the transformative impact of television on a range of important social practices, including politics and democracy, sport and identity formation, cinema and popular culture. Overall, it shows how the story of television in India is also the story of India's encounter with the forces of globalisation.
