This informative text/picture volume opens up new perspectives on contemporary Indian art, dance, theater, and film in and beyond Bollywood. It was published in connection with the House of World Cultures project "body.city – Neue Perspektiven aus Indien” (body.city – New Perspectives from India) and in cooperation with the renowned publisher Tulika Books in Delhi. Numerous pictures provide glimpses of India’s rich visual culture and simultaneously document the two exhibitions "subTerrain. artworks in the cityfold” and "Indian Popular Culture”. In the extensive essays by authors including Amitav Ghosh and the curators Geeta Kapur, Jyotindra Jain, Anuradha Kapur, and Ravi Vasudevan, the presentation of the arts is tied to socio-political questions of civil society in India and, beyond, in the so-called "Third
World”, questions of change and resistance in the cities, of the new nationalism, and of the significance of the Diaspora for India’s culture.books@hkw.de
