About this book
This academic book examines film and television from and about South Asia through a transnational lens. Grounded in media studies, anthropology, and political economy, it blends critical Marxist and poststructuralist ideas to explore how screen media shape and reflect geopolitics, culture, and economic circuits. Aimed at students, researchers, and educated readers in cultural studies and related fields, the work invites rigorous, thought-provoking analysis with an accessible, engaging tone.
Chapters fuse historical context with close readings of images and narratives, moving from period costume dramas to contemporary programs. The book analyzes representation, nationalism, anti-Muslim racism, and transnational flows, showing how stereotypes are produced and challenged across borders.
Written for an academic audience but accessible to a broader readership, it blends theory with concrete media examples and cross-cultural comparisons. Readers will encounter concepts such as representation, discourse, globalization, and the political economy of media, presented through clear arguments and engaging case studies that illuminate how audiences interpret screen texts.
