Published Under the Garamond ImprintThe new century promises to be a roller coaster ride fueled by rapidly changing information and communications technologies (ICTs). With the capacity for the almost instant transfer of digital information across and beyond our planet, commonly held notions of distance and speed, as well as our understanding of the nature and meaning of interpersonal contact are being challenged and redefined. Many believe that the very structural underpinnings of society will be transformed.This book reflects each contributor's vision of the future, visions that range from the enthusiastic and hopeful to the pessimistic and fearful. The editors' purpose is to alert readers to what lies ahead in the new information society, and to help unravel the public policy implications of the changes wrought by information and communications technologies.A major concern of this book is whether states are able to provide the necessary balance between the often competing priorities of global business and the interests of individuals and groups of citizens. For example, are traditional inter-state boundaries and borders becoming too eroded, espectially in the South, as a result of globalization? Whatever role governments are to play, it is inevitable that balance will only be achieved through active citizen participation, no longer limited by geographic constraints.

This book is an exploration of the masala film. This popular cinema has dominated mass culture in India ever since its origins and has remarkable popularity with South Asians living outside India as well. To understand the interrelationship between the industrial and the ideological, the political economy of the film industry in India is examined and combined with a cultural analysis of popular cinema. Specifically, the author looks at the industrial organization and structure in which the world's largest film industry turns out nearly 800 features films a year and the public and private forces that shape the structural conditions in which films are consumed and produced. Also discussed are policies related to production, exhibition, and distribution of films in India and abroad; the impact of new technologies; censorship and funding; consumption and popularity; and narrative strategies and cinematic devices.
