The Beanbag Archives: Cinematic Representations and Nationalist Agendas in Bollywood
Welcome to Flame FirstCut's first episode of The Beanbag Archives! Join Shrish Sudharsan, Professor Rutuja Deshmukh and Professor Swapna Gopinath in discussing a few of the contemporary Historicals while stressing upon this need of creating/ recreating / retelling of history in the current age of revisionism. Cinema, when analyzed as a reflection of the changing socio-political and economic conditions at any given period, yields illuminating perspectives on the national agendas as well as the human predicament during the course of existence as social beings. Cinema derives its images from various telling(s) of history in the form of folklore, collective memories, documented hagiographies, academic accounts and documents.
