Shah Rukh Khan and Global Bollywood

International Conference
Shah Rukh Khan and Global Bollywood
September 30th – October 2nd 2010

In recent years the circulation of Indian Cinema in a globalized world has become a focus of academic research from a wide range of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. A growing number of publications and conferences have been dedicated to the topic that embraces films and audiences as well as diverse cultural practises and performances. Furthermore, the role of the ICT in these processes has emerged as a new point of interest, in particular in regard to the study of participant audiences and fan cultures. The overarching framework is the relationship of Bollywood with post colonialism, global flows, and transcultural processes that shape cinema contexts today.

Located in the centre of Europe the conference wants to act as a meeting point between European and international scholarship on Shah Rukh Khan and Global Bollywood. In addition, it aims to engage with young scholars on the topic, and to provide a platform to showcase their studies.

Organizers: Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology in cooperation with MASN-Austria
