abstract: In his Westerns The Return of Frank James (1940), Western Union (1941), and Rancho Notorious (1952), director Fritz Lang interrogated Western genre tropes. By examining the theatricality of Westerns, the presentation of Native Americans in Westerns, and the frames used by Western storytellers, Lang questioned the nature of Hollywood Westerns. Later filmmakers, particularly Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood, have shown their debt to Lang's films by alluding to them in their own films.

The globality of Hindi cinema is often an anecdotal entry point into alternative internationalisms. When Indians based in cosmopolitan spaces of the Global North strike up a conversation with fellow emigrants from Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East, the discussion is likely to revolve around their mutual fondness for Hindi cinema, its stars, and its songs. Oral and anecdotal histories of Hindi cinema's popularity in non-Anglophone parts of the world abound in such multicultural encounters in the West. Nonetheless, these auto-ethnographic accounts rarely inform the theoretical basis for research in film studies where the influence of Holly-wood, European arthouse, and international festival cinema largely continues to obscure other transnational flows and fandoms. Samhita Sunya's recent book, Sirens of Modernity: World Cinema via Bombay, addresses this lacuna, one sustained by archival challenges as well as scholarly disdain for Hindi cinema's formal, capital, and libidinal excesses.1 Understandably, Sunya's book returns to some of the foundational concepts and theories of film studies to reorient our understanding of how ideas of world cinema, cinephilia, gender, excess, and circulation might operate and interrelate outside of a bipolar world order. At the very outset, Sunya deploys an eccentric Hindi song called "Akira Kurosawa" to tease out broader [End Page 190] questions about Hindi cinema's contemporaneity with postwar art cinema in the 1960s while also inquiring into its political accountability as a mass cultural form.2 The transnational and the regional are mutually constitutive vectors operating in the backdrop of Cold War–era worldmaking as well as secessionist movements in postcolonial India. Sunya also discusses the traffic of ideas across the Bombay and Madras film industries in that decade, which anticipates the rest of the book's investment in the underexplored traffic of personnel, capital, and technology across these regional industries. In chapter 1, Sunya opens the discussion of world cinema through "problems and possibilities of distribution in translation," with a critical emphasis on how the category of world cinema excluded commercial Indian films despite their extensive circulation in "not only the Indian Ocean regions of East Africa, the Persian Gulf, and Southeast Asia but also Fiji, the Caribbean, Central Asia, West Asia, North Africa, Eastern Europe, and East Asia."3 The constricted geography of world cinema, Sunya argues, was a result of "auteur-derived nationality and unity" as well as "racialized, (neo)colonial hierarchies" of spectatorship.4 The idealization of film spectators as literate and cosmopolitan was adopted in reformist state di

摘要:本文认为,《昭昭天命》的象征力量和物质力量根植于《生活》杂志纪实摄影的规范中,尤其是存在于已有的拍摄脚本中。1947年,一篇关于印度分治的摄影文章《大迁徙》(the Great Migration)对视觉再现和叙事固定性进行了分析,揭示了美国殖民主义的隐喻是如何投射到南亚痛苦的难民身上的。让拍摄对象制定脚本-图像相关性的规范是一种注重收入的殖民行为;它将一系列种族差异——南亚人、美国黑人和美洲原住民——吸收到战后美国霸权的幻想中。

Underground: The Secret Life of Videocassettes in Iran examines how videocassettes wound their way through everyday life in Iran, making a profound impact on the media landscape. The book shows how the official ban on the medium, enacted in 1983 during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) and unevenly enforced until it was lifted in 1994, led to the flourishing of informal video distribution. Author Blake Atwood presents a compelling account of the lived textures of video's clandestine-yet-ubiquitous presence through oral history—interviews with former video dealers, filmmakers, former government employees, and people from many walks of life who fondly remember video's heyday. Underground expands current debates in the study of media distribution, infrastructure studies, and the material culture of media by analyzing how this technological format negotiated, circumvented, and repurposed state policy and the affordances of the medium. Beyond the novelty of its topic—this is the first scholarly monograph on the subject in English—the book's methodological approach and conceptual framing also result in an original contribution to the literature on Iranian and Middle Eastern media. The book takes the reader into Iran's underground network through five chapters that examine a facet of its operation. Rather than a chronological ordering, the first four chapters examine a different dimension of the long decade of 1983 to 1994 (when the ban was officially in place). While each [End Page 181] chapter reflects on the contemporary moment, the final chapter is more fully focused on how this period continues to inform the present. This structure allows for in-depth consideration of how state regulations (including the lead up to the 1983 ban) impacted existing media institutions and the nascent video industry (chapter 1), the material and human working of the distribution network (chapter 2), the labor and aspirations of video dealers (chapter 3), and the effect of evolving relations between public and private spaces on home viewing and the place of the VCR and videocassettes in mediating the relationship between them (chapter 4). This is followed by a sustained examination of how the memory of the underground manifests in the cultural afterlife of videocassettes in the 2010s and is directly thematized in contemporary culture (chapter 5). These chapters are bracketed by a teachable introduction and a coda, which ruminates on the role that a non-Iranian researcher can play in entering into a dialogue with people whose lives were and continue to be directly impacted by the videocassette ban. Underground's contribution rests in its weaving together of more than forty interviews with archival sources and extensive fieldwork, s

This structure allows for in-depth consideration of how state regulations (including the lead up to the 1983 ban) impacted existing media institutions and the nascent video industry (chapter 1), the material and human working of the distribution network (chapter 2), the labor and aspirations of video dealers (chapter 3), and the effect of evolving relations between public and private spaces on home viewing and the place of the VCR and videocassettes in mediating the relationship between them (chapter 4). This is followed by a sustained examination of how the memory of the underground manifests in the cultural afterlife of videocassettes in the 2010s and is directly thematized in contemporary culture (chapter 5). These chapters are bracketed by a teachable introduction and a coda, which ruminates on the role that a non-Iranian researcher can play in entering into a dialogue with people whose lives were and continue to be directly impacted by the videocassette ban. Underground's contribution rests in its weaving together of more than forty interviews with archival sources and extensive fieldwork, s","PeriodicalId":55936,"journal":{"name":"JCMS-Journal of Cinema and Media Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135738295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a transdisciplinary scholar, she brings together digital race and ethnic studies, media arts practice and curation, liberationist political thought, US Latin American and Caribbean diasporic studies, intersectional feminism, and grassroots archival praxis. Her research aims to decenter Western ways of knowing and challenges extractivist and neoliberal practices by adopting a relational framework for publicly engaged scholarship. Her most recent projects focus on partnerships that support the remixing of personal archives to reclaim our stories and the recovery of independent filmmaking created by US-based Latinas in the Latina Film Recovery Project. Marisa received her PhD in Cultural Studies from Claremont Graduate University and MA in Cinema Studies from New York University. Interview by Angela J. Aguayo, an associate professor in the Department of Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Angela J. Aguayo: Your current research is an innovative program of scholarship and community archiving focused on digital preservation and challenging the assumptions of its capitalist-colonial worldview. This scholarship involves an engaged practice of collaborating with communities on digital preservation of undocumented histories, foregrounding the stories and archives of underrepresented and misrepresented people. In using this framework, how do we avoid replicating the power dynamics we aim to dismantle? Marisa Hicks-Alcaraz: To do this, we need to keep looking critically at our own interventions. It's important to recognize that in navigating and negotiating dominant knowledge systems, we may inevitably reproduce the very parts of colonialism and capitalism that we have already identified as violent and in need of change. A part of this process is acknowledging the significant power differentials between ourselves and community partners and surrendering our power to work effectively and ethically. To me, this means showing humility and vulnerability. It means being conscious of my actions, owning up to my mistakes, and making plans to prevent future mistakes. And it means committing to nourishing the kinds of skills that involve consistent and repeated actions of respect, trust, and honest communication to form meaningful and flourishing relationships. This may not necessarily be a solution, but it can be a step forward. Aguayo: Your writing has appeared in the International Journal of Information, Diversity, & Inclusion; Feminist Media Histories; Interdisciplinary Digital Engagement in Arts & Humanities; and Reviews in Digital Humanities.
