The films of Mira Nair : diaspora verite / Amardeep Singh Jackson: University Press of Mississipp, 2018.
Call No: 81 NAI SINAuthor: Singh, Amardeep Place: JacksonPublisher: University Press of MississippPubDate: 2018PhysDes: vii, 227 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.Subject: NAIR, MIRA ; SALAAM BOMBAY! (II/UK/FR, Mira Nair, 1988) ; MONSOON WEDDING (US/II, Mira Nair, 2001) ; MISSISSIPPI MASALA (US, Mira Nair, 1991) ; PEREZ FAMILY, THE (US, Mira Nair, 1995) ; MY OWN COUNTRY (US, Mira Nair, 1998) ; VANITY FAIR (UK/US, Mira Nair, 2004) ; KAMA SUTRA: A TALE OF LOVE (II, Mira Nair, 1996) ; NAMESAKE, THE (II/US, Mira Nair, 2006) ; RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST, THE (US/UK/QATAR, Mira Nair, 2012) ; QUEEN OF KATWE (US, Mira Nair, 2016) Summary: "The Films of Mira Nair presents the first, full-length scholarly study of her cinema. Nair has broken new ground as both a feminist filmmaker and an Indian filmmaker. Several of her works, especially those related to the South Asian diaspora, have been influential around the globe. Amardeep Singh delves into the complexities of Nair's films from 1981 to 2016, offering critical commentary on all of Mira Nair's major works, including her early documentary projects as well as shorts. The subtitle, "Diaspora Ve´rite´," alludes to Singh's primary theme: Nair's filmmaking project is driven aesthetically by her background in the documentary realist tradition (cinema ve´rite´) and thematically by her interest in the lives of migrants and diasporic populations. Mainly, Nair's filmmaking intends to document imaginatively the experiences of diasporic communities. Nair's focus on the diasporic appears in the long list of her films that have explored the subject, such as Mississippi Masala, So Far from India, Monsoon Wedding, The Perez Family, My Own Country, The Namesake, and The Reluctant Fundamentalist. However, a version of the diasporic sensibility also emerges even in films with an apparently different scope, such as Nair's adaptation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Nair began her career as a documentary filmmaker in the early 1980s. While Nair now has largely moved away from the documentary format in favor of making fictional feature films, Singh shows that a documentary realist style remains active in her subsequent fictional cinema."-- Provided by publisher.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-220), filmography (pages 197-210) and index.ISBN: 9781496821164Contents: Mira Nair's diaspora ve´rite´ -- "Our hearts and eyes are wide open" : Mira Nair's documentaries -- The aesthetics of disillusionment : Salaam Bombay!

A unique voice in cinema today, she is one of the few female directors who made it to the top of a male-dominated profession. Her films feature an incomparably sensuous visual style yet at the same time often record the injustice of the disenfranchised and the cross-pollination of East and West. Her twin themes of realism and romance make for dazzling cinema. Noted film authority John Kenneth Muir analyzes all of Nair's work." "Among those interviewed for this book are the actors Gena Rowlands (Hysterical Blindness) and Naveen Andrews (Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, 1997); My Own Country, 1998), currently a star of TV's Lost; and Julian Fellowes, the screen writer of Vanity Fair."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.

In exploring the relationship between cinematic representation and educational history, Josephine May shows how numerous Australian feature and documentary films offer access to powerful vernacular imaginings about school education in Australia. May argues that the cinematic school is a pervasive metaphor for the Australian nation. She demonstrates that, while Australian films about schooling have consistently commented on the relationship of schooling to the Australian class structure, they also increasingly explored gender, race and ethnicity at school, especially after the 1970s. From then on the egalitarian dream of school education and the nation’s capacity to generate meaningful futures for the young became increasingly contested. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9783034306324
