This book constitutes three major sections as follows: ‘Soft Power: Performance, Film and Television’, ‘Art and Visual Culture’, ‘Cyber Space, Social Media, and Digital Texts’. The volume includes chapters that engage with
hitherto disregarded cultural links manifested in the form of the South Asian
mediascape through studies based on cinema, music, drama, and photography
from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. They are based on but are not restricted
to the themes of gender and sexuality, construction of the ‘Other’, representation of war, nostalgia and separation, progressive cinema, stereotypes in radio and television programming, and so on.
