Haunting Bollywood
Gender, Genre, and the Supernatural in Hindi Commercial Cinema
by Meheli Sen
Paperback, 264 Pages, Published 2017 by University Of Texas Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-4773-1158-5, ISBN: 1-4773-1158-0

"Haunting Bollywood is a pioneering, interdisciplinary inquiry into the supernatural in Hindi cinema that draws from literary criticism, postcolonial studies, queer theory, history, and cultural studies. Hindi commercial cinema has been invested in the supernatural since its earliest days, but only a small segment of these films have been adequately explored in scholarly work; this book addresses this gap by focusing on some of Hindi cin ..."






Figurations in Indian Film
by Meheli Sen, Anustup Basu
Hardcover, 292 Pages, Published 2013 by Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN-13: 978-0-230-29179-9, ISBN: 0-230-29179-1

"Indian cinematic traditions have always relied on eclectic ways of figuration that combine signs and affects of desire and abomination. That is, incarnations often emerge at critical interfaces between good/bad, Indian/western, self/other, virtue/vice, myth/reality, and so on. Such figures are products of discontinuous assembling processes that cut through dyadic arrangements and pass the same character/body/identity via different, ofte ..."

Figurations in Indian Film
by Anustup Basu, Meheli Sen
292 Pages, Published 2013 by Springer
ISBN-13: 978-1-137-34978-1, ISBN: 1-137-34978-6

"Upon release, Baz Luhrman's 2001 global hit received bouquets and brickbats in equal measure, and what Strayer's essay compellingly underscores is that notions of national forms, cultural values, authenticity, etc.—often perceived to be hopelessly irrelevant in a new postmodern, postnational planet—have, on the contrary, retained their critical edge in the current dispensation. Moulin Rouge! enables an inquiry into what can be easi ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8143-3899-5, ISBN: 0-8143-3899-2

"As film reviewer Patrick Goldstein points out, “Many of the best buddy films spring into high gear when the filmmaker introduces a dramatic irritant, usually in the form of a beautiful, free-spirited woman who sparks the flame of romantic conflict. ... That John endured a largely unhappy marriage to May, especially in comparison with Max's happy years with Amy, whom he meets on the rebound, makes no difference in terms of the feud ..."

"In the middle of this century's first decade, "bromance" emerged as a term denoting an emotionally intense bond between straight men. Yet bromance requires an expression of intimacy that always toys with being coded as something other than "straight" male behavior, even as it insists that such intimacy must never be misinterpreted. In Reading the Bromance: Homosocial Relationships in Film and Television, editor Michael DeAngelis has com ..."

ISBN-13: 978-81-250-5425-2, ISBN: 81-250-5425-1

"This volume brings together a series of essays that investigate figures, representational modes that can be read as figural, and in some instances, the limits of figurability in Indian cinema. Cinematic traditions in India have always relied on eclectic ways of figurations that combine signs and affects of desire and abomination. That is, incarnations often emerge at critical interfaces between good/bad, Indian/western, self/other, virt ..."
