1032256834 epub This book investigates the ways in which contemporary Indian cinema, particularly 2010 onwards, has projected and represented women on screen not just on films and TV but also on new media platforms like OTT and other digital media. The wide-ranging essays reflect on issues of gender violence, sexuality, performance, domestic and public spaces, along with the role of women in the Indian film industry. They draw on current global discourses on gender including #Me Too, Times Up, LGBTQIA, and a call for wages for women on a par with their male counterparts and other socio-cultural debates in the Indian society. The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of film studies, gender studies, culture studies, and South Asian studies. Read more
