Akshaya Kumar

Provincializing Bollywood

Bhojpuri Cinema in the Comparative Media Crucible

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Situating it at the intersection of vernacular media production and the infrastructural-political reordering of provincial north India, the book shows that Bhojpuri media's characteristic 'disobedience' is marked by a libidinal excess - simultaneously scandalizing and moralizing - to address the inexact calculi of Bhojpuri speaking region's 'underdevelopment'.
