Drawing on screen theory and recent theories of cinema spectatorship, this essay provides a comparative analysis of how <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cinema_of_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\">Hollywood<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood<\/a> and arthouse films represent Anglo-Indians. More specifically, it analyses three paradigmatic films: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bhowani_Junction_(film)\" target=\"_blank\">Bhowani Junction<\/a><\/em> (1956), <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julie_(1975_film)\" target=\"_blank\">Julie<\/a><\/em> (1975), and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/36_Chowringhee_Lane\" target=\"_blank\">36 Chowringhee Lane<\/a><\/em> (1981). Combining formal analysis of narrative structure, mise-en-scne and genre with historical analysis, the paper examines the ideological work performed by these texts, which use Anglo-Indians to dramatise specific political conflicts in India such as those generated by the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Partition_of_India\" target=\"_blank\">British partition of India in 1947<\/a> and the more recent issue of globalisation.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informaworld.com\/smpp\/ftinterface~content=a770374022~fulltext=713240930~frm=content\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anglo-Indians in Hollywood, Bollywood and Arthouse Cinema Journal of Intercultural Studies Volume 28, Issue 1 (February 2007) pages 55-68 DOI: 10.1080\/07256860601082939 Glenn D&#8217;Cruz, Senior Lecturer of Performance Studies Deakin University, Australia Apart from a few disparaging remarks about offensive stereotypes by Anglo-Indian writers and politicians such as Gloria Jean Moore, Frank Anthony and Gillian Hart, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1196,8],"tags":[5317,1351,1021],"class_list":["post-11753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-literary-criticism","category-media-archive","tag-glenn-dcruz","tag-india","tag-journal-of-intercultural-studies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11753\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
