Scripting intimacy: Citizenship, romance and violence in Bollywood cinema and beyond

End Date: 11/10/2011End Time: 5:00 PM

Event Description
The theme of star-crossed lovers is a popular one in Hindi cinema. In many films that were 'love stories' in the early national period, the conflict in the protagonists' romance turned on class, caste or location. Post-1990, many popular Hindi films depict romance as entangled with patriotism. Traversing genres from period films to urban melodrama, they present stories about Indian coupledom that are also stories about ethnic identity and the nation. What do we make of these popular representations of love and longing in modern India, some inter-ethnic, some doomed and others not? Engaging these representations with other media accounts of inter-ethnic relationships in the public sphere, this talk explores the role of love in the cultural politics over secularism and nationalism in India today.
