Description

This book offers a comprehensive analysis through both theoretical insights and empirical data concerning the intricate relationship between gender, cinema, and society, particularly how it perpetuates gender subordination. In contemporary society, this topic is evolving and complex, exploring how films portray, reinforce, and sometimes confront cultural norms, identities, and power dynamics related to gender. To raise awareness and encourage conversation about representation and social change, it is crucial to critically examine how Indian cinema perpetuates gender subordination and cultural hegemony. There is an ongoing discourse among academics, cultural and gender studies, activists and filmmakers regarding the potential of cinema as a means of contesting and altering gender norms within Indian society.
