More Than Bollywood
"This is the first book to tackle the diverse styles and multiple histories of popular music in India. It brings together fourteen of the field's leading scholars to contribute chapters on a range of topics, from the classic songs of Bollywood to contemporary remixes. The chapters in this volume address the impact of media and technology on contemporary music, the variety of industrial developments and contexts for Indian popular music, and historical trends in popular music development both before and after the Indian Independence in 1947. The contributors also address the subcontinent's historical relationships with colonialism, the transnational market economies, local governmental factors, international conventions, and a host of other circumstances that shed light on the development of popular music throughout India. To illustrate each chapter author's points and to make available music otherwise not always easily accessible, the book features a companion website of audio and video tracks." --
Sport For Inspector West
Guy Randall suffered a sudden and violent death. Roger West of Scotland Yard is tasked with solving the case, but is perplexed. All leads go back to a series of thefts from a chain of shops and nearly everyone involved seems to belong to the same Football Club. It is a very unusual and complex case which has an equally surprising conclusion.
Music in American Combat Films
The book explores ways in which combat film scores interact collaboratively with other film elements (for instance, image and dialogue) to guide audience understanding of theme and character. Examined are classical and current models of film scoring practice and the ways they work to represent changes in film narratives taking place over time or from film to film. Differing approaches to scoring practice are considered as possible reflections of prevailing cultural attitudes toward war and warriors during the time of a film's creation, the war it represents, or both. Observations of cinematic representations of masculinity, heroism and war raise questions regarding whether (and if so, to what extent) we have lost some measure of faith in our country's motives for waging war and in the traditional models of what we think it means to be a hero.
