Description:This book analyses the role of women in the films of one of the leading filmmakers of the 'Third World' in the 1950s, Satyajit Ray, a national icon in filmmaking in India.The book explores the portrayal of women in the context of the creation of national culture after India became independent. Gender issues were very important to India under Jawaharlal Nehru in the 1950s - with the enactment of inheritance and divorce laws. Ray's portrayal of women and his films anticipate much of the theorizing of later-day feminism. This book analyses cinematic texts with special reference to the women characters using feminist film theory and representation along with a study of the socio-political and economic conditions pertinent to the times - both relevant to the film's making and its setting. The primary texts studied are films spanning over four decades from Pather Panchali (1955) to his last trilogy and are based on a categorization of the broad feminine 'types' represented in the films - based on the socio-political situations in which they are placed - and their relationships with the other characters present. Ray's portrayal of women has an enormous bearing on our understanding of how modern India evolved in the Nehru era and after, and this book explore just that: the place of the woman as it is and should be in a young nation encumbered by patriarchy.Gendered Modernity and Indian Cinema will be of interest to academics in the field of World cinema, Indian and Bengali cinema, Film Studies as well as Gender Studies and South Asian culture and society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
