Paperback. Condition: New. While sizable literature exists on the themes, issues and voices that constitute resistance in historical Indian documentary cinema, less is known about contemporary modes of resistance in Indian documentary. This volume identifies languages and practices of resistance constructed by Indian documentary practitioners located in contemporary global and national contexts organised by majoritarian political discourse, rising social inequalities, tightening media regulatory mechanisms and variable access to digital technologies. Extending its analytical lens beyond textual politics, the volume offers an original conceptualisation of how we identify, mobilise, and recuperate acts of resistance as both represented in documentary and those represented by the organisation of documentary practice e.g., documentary exhibition, curation, education, and criticism. Combining scholarly essays and practitioner writing, the volume offers a timely reconsideration of how central debates and issues of power and representation in documentary may be studied as objects of analysis and as subjective accounts of individual experience, decisions, and actions relating to documentary aesthetics and practice.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Subodh Kerkar's canvas of Goa combines the state's people, its waters, and their intertwined history in a visual tour de force. From resplendent paintings of Goan houses to larger-than-life beach installations, Subodh's artwork exists at the confluence of aesthetics and social consciousness. It engages intimately with both the historical events and the daily nitty gritty of the collective life of Goa. Much of the art records grim events such as the brutality of the Inquisition and the slave trade introduced by the Portuguese; yet, it is not without lightness of touch, as exemplified in works such as a marigold beach installation, or 'Vascofruit', where several food items are shown growing on Vasco da Gama's head.The artist's roving eye misses nothing the ocean's imprint on boats, sea shells, the lives of fisherfolk, Goan cuisine. Subodh's daring and experimental works include 500 terracotta heads planted on the beach, expansive sand-and-light installations, oysters growing on plates immersed in the ocean, fisherfolk depicted in ink, crochet, laterite sculptures, and much more. Goa: Subodh Kerkar's Canvas integrates art and environment in a work of enduring beauty and resistance.

Pichakaaree: Songs of Protest and Celebration in an Indo-Caribbean Community/Sharda Patasar. In India, where oral traditions predate hand scripted manuscripts or printed compilations, poets with vastly varied literary impulses have written poems prescribing musical rendering in specific raags, taals and genres. There also exists a flourishing tradition of musicians and composers selectively extracting a few lines from a larger existing poem or narrative verse for use in forms that demand relatively less wordiness. Briefly then, there is ample evidence to prove that the giving, sharing, borrowing and lending between literature and music is in itself an established tradition in India where the vaggeyakar or song composer is often both poet and music composer. In the contemporary context, where music is as much 'seen' as heard, the study and analysis of the song-text in India as evinced in this volume must be an interdisciplinary and collaborative activity between musicians, composers, musicologists, ethnomusicologists and scholars and students of music, literature, linguistics, cultural studies, history, sociology, psychology, media, theatre, film and phonology. This book therefore brings on board new ways of thinking and responding to the song-text in India.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 8000 photographs, all of them shot inside a 12-room house with 10 residents. These aren't impersonal records, but the result of a real life journey through complex terrains of intimacies. In photographing the office-goers, the unemployed, the petty clerks, the retirees, the ageing and the unglamorous, Kushal Ray announces his loyalty towards those who've lost out in the race for success, for whom life must and does go on without unnecessary pathos. Poised between fiction and facts, Kunal Basu's narrative brings to life the remarkable world of the photographer and the photographed.
