CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE OF POST SCRIPT INDIAN CINEMA Guest edited by Frances Gateward and David Desser A recent spate of books has introduced the popular Hindi cinema to English-speaking, academic audiences, studies long overdue considering the wide popularity of these films in South Asia, Africa, Europe.. and among the widely dispersed Indian diaspora. These studies have taken a "macro" view of the topic, dealing with issues of national identity, gender, sexuality, stardom and transnationality. For a special issue of Post Script, we would like to explore issues in a more focused way, in particular, examinations of commercial cinemas of the varied language groups, industry studies and transnational reception, remakes across language groups, genre, and music. Completed essays of 4,000-6,000 words, in MLA format will be due August 1, 2005.
