Conjugations: Marriage and Form in New Bollywood Cinema

“When India entered the global marketplace in the early 1990s, its film industry transformed radically. Production and distribution of films became regulated, advertising and marketing created a largely middle-class audience, and films began to fit into genres like science fiction and horror. In this bold study of what she names New Bollywood, Sangita Gopal contends that the key to understanding these changes is to analyze films’ evolving treatment of romantic relationships.”

Economy, Emotion, and Ethics in Chinese Cinema

"This book investigates major Chinese-language films from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in order to unpack a hypercompressed capitalist modernity with distinctive Chinese characteristics.… A deeply cultural, determinedly historical, and deliberately interdisciplinary study, it approaches ‘culture’ anthropologically, as a way of life emanating from the everyday, and aesthetically, as imaginative forms and creative expressions."
