Bollywood Sounds
Author: Jayson Beaster-Jones
language: en
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 2014-10-09
Bollywood Sounds focuses on the songs of Indian films in their historical, social, commercial, and cinematic contexts. Author Jayson Beaster-Jones takes readers through the highly collaborative compositional process, highlighting the contributions of film directors, music directors (composers), lyricists, musicians, and singers in song production. Through close musical and multimedia analysis of more than twenty landmark compositions, Bollywood Sounds illustrates how the producers of Indian film songs have long mediated a variety of musical styles, instruments, and performance practices to create a uniquely cosmopolitan music genre. As an exploration of the music of seventy years of Hindi films, Bollywood Sounds provides long-term historical insights into film songs and their musical and cinematic conventions in ways that will appeal both to scholars and to newcomers to Indian cinema.
Pinjar
Con una carrera que abarca más de seis décadas de trayectoria y un centenar de libros publicados, en los que se atrevió con casi todos los géneros literarios existentes —poesía, cuento, novela, ensayo, autobiografía—, suele considerarse a Amrita Pritam como la más prominente escritora punyabí y la principal poeta del siglo XX en ese idioma. En 1950 publicó Pinjar , su obra más aclamada, que fue exitosamente llevada al cine, en el año 2003, y después a serie de televisión, en 2018. Con la división de India por parte de la administración colonial en el año 1947 como telón de fondo, esta novela cuenta la historia de Puro, una joven de origen hindú que un día es secuestrada por un hombre musulmán y obligada a casarse con él y a vivir en una tierra que no es la suya. Pritam narra la impotencia de aquellas mujeres jóvenes, ya fueran musulmanas, sij o hindúes, que se convirtieron en víctimas de secuestro, violación y otras miserias indecibles durante la tragedia política y humana que subsistió en el Punyab en los meses de disturbios sectarios que precedieron a la división de esta región histórica entre India y Pakistán. Mujeres que tejieron su sufrimiento en un ambiente conservador en canciones populares, cantando suavemente tras voluminosos velos y en la intimidad de las cocinas a las que estaban condenadas perpetuamente.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this thoughtful and revealing memoir, readers will accompany one of the world’s most recognizable women on her journey of self-discovery. “I have always felt that life is a solitary journey, that we are each on a train, riding through our hours, our days, our years. We get on alone, we leave alone, and the decisions we make as we travel on the train are our responsibility alone.” A remarkable life story rooted in two different worlds, Unfinished offers insights into Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s childhood in India; her formative teenage years in the United States; and her return to India, where against all odds as a newcomer to the pageant world, she won the national and international beauty competitions that launched her global acting career. Whether reflecting on her nomadic early years or the challenges she has faced as she has doggedly pursued her calling, Priyanka shares her challenges and triumphs with warmth and honesty. The result is a book that is philosophical, sassy, inspiring, bold, and rebellious. Just like the author herself. From her dual-continent twenty-year-long career as an actor and producer to her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, from losing her beloved father to cancer to marrying Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s story will inspire a generation around the world to gather their courage, embrace their ambition, and commit to the hard work of following their dreams.
