Related to this theme is the subsequent rise of attacks, in person and via social media, upon directors and actors associated with such films, most notably, Bhansali and Deepika Padukone.

Hindutva cultural politics, however, are not limited to the theatre screen or to contests over star personalities alone. Rather, we can see their manifestation in the blurring of boundaries between self and screen, self-representation and self-broadcast over social media. The most egregious elements of this are the ways in which perpetrators and bystanders record acts of violence in full daylight and broadcast them over social media.

The scope of the journal will incorporate the concerns of scholars, students, activists and media practitioners. Notes for Book Reviewers: SAFM regularly publishes critically engaged book reviews that further the dialogue on South Asian cinema and media culture. We are especially interested in clearly written, comparative analyses that can locate single or multiple contemporary works in the broader historical context of South Asian media studies.

Innovative juxtapositions of scholarship and artistic practice; books and popular media artifacts; interviews and book reviews are especially welcome. We will carry reviews of single author manuscripts as well as edited anthologies.
