Recenzii
In a highly enjoyable, innovative, and insightful book, Video Culture in India, Ishita Tiwary examines the video revolution in India and the radical new possibilities it opened up. Locating the arrival of video technology within India's socio-political context, the book illustrates how video recorders innovated new distribution infrastructures, new spaces of exhibition, and new media genres for Indian audiences. Blending entertaining detail with scholarly precision, Tiwary decisively shows how video was a revolution in aesthetics and grassroots media and, ultimately, a cultural force that reshaped the media landscape in India.
In an era defined by digital screens and streaming video, it is easy to forget the transformative impact of analog video in postcolonial media cultures. Drawing on an impressive range of archival sources, trade materials, and interviews, Ishita Tiwary offers a compelling analysis of the cultural life of an influential but largely neglected media form in 1980s India. Imaginative and accessible, this book makes vital contributions to film and media studies.
