At the same time, this has been the period for the articulation of modern nationhood and cultural identity of Bengali Muslims in Bangladesh. This book analyses the relationship between cinema and modernity in Bangladesh, providing a narrative of the uneven process that produced the idea of 'Bangladesh cinema'. This book investigates the roles of a non-western 'national' film industry in Asia in constructing nationhood and identity within colonial and postcolonial predicaments. The political and economic forces and the cultural institutions that have been active in shaping Bangladesh cinema are presented. The author explores how the conflict among different social groups turned Bangladesh cinema into a site of contesting identities during the twentieth century and beyond. In particular, he illustrates the connections between film production and reception in Bangladesh and a variety of nationalist constructions of Bengali Muslim identity. Drawing on the idea of cinema as public sphere and the postcolonial notion of formation of the 'Bangladesh' nation, interactions between cinema and middle-class Bengali Muslims in different social and political matrices are analysed. The first major academic study on this large and vibrant national cinema, this book demonstrates that Bangladesh national cinema worked as different 'public spheres' for different 'publics' throughout the twentieth century. Filling a niche in Global Film and Media Studies and South Asian Studies, it will be of interest to scholars and students of these disciplines"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 202-218) and index. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a National characteristics in motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00001044 650 0 $a Motion picture industry $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Muslims in motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002011023 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Motion picture industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027150 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Muslims in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031077 650 7 $a National characteristics in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033336 651 7 $a Bangladesh. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213724 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary South Asia series ; $v 89. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005090682 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230040227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=415B6B64ED3011E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
