About the presentation: Hindi cinema accords itself a certain difference vis-à-vis the 'south'. At the same time, we see Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam films being dubbed or remade in Hindi, or southern productions making films simultaneously in other languages. This might involve adopting a range of strategies, which this paper addresses. The paper focuses on the cultural flows from Kannada to Bombay cinema, the repertoire of images and narratives that go on to constitute the South in particular ways vis-a-vis Hindi. I will be looking at remakes to see, as Appadurai (1996) says, how 'a social imaginaire [is] built largely around reruns', by taking the instance of such Kannada films remade in Hindi.
About the Speaker: Dr. Nikhila H. teaches in the Department of Film Studies and Visual Communication. Her doctoral work was on women's writing and communalism, considering the context of Partition. Her areas of research interest are Gender Studies and derivatively there-from, Film and Visual Culture Studies. She finds the areas of convergence of language and gender particularly challenging, and much of her research and publications are in this interface and their changing dynamics across times and spaces, looking at print and other forms of media.
