Bollywood cinema: A critical genealogy
No full text"Bollywood" has finally made it to the Oxford English Dictionary. The 2005 edition defines it as: "a name for the Indian popular film industry, based in Bombay. Origin 1970s. Blend of Bombay and Hollywood." The incorporation of the word in the OED acknowledges the strength of a film industry which, with the coming of sound in 1931, has produced some 9,000 films. (This must not be confused with the output of Indian cinema generally, which would be four times more). What is less evident from the OED definition is the way in which the word has acquired its current meaning and has displaced its earlier descriptors (Bombay Cinema, Indian Popular Cinema, Hindi Cinema), functioning, perhaps even horrifyingly, as an "empty signifier" (Prasad) that may be variously used for a reading of popular Indian cinema. The triumph of the term (over the others) is nothing less than spectacular and indicates, furthermore, the growing global sweep of this cinema not just as cinema qua cinema but as cinema qua social effects and national cultural coding. Although Indian film producers in particular, and pockets of Indian spectators generally, continue to feel uneasy with it (the vernacular press came around to using "Bollywood" only reluctantly), its ascendancy has been such that Bombay Dreams (the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical) and the homegrown Merchants of Bollywood both become signifiers of a cultural logic which transcends cinema and is a global marker of Indian modernity. As the Melbourne (March 2006) closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games showed, Bollywood will be the cultural practice through which Indian national culture will be projected when the games are held in Delhi in 2010. International games (the Olympics, World Cup Soccer, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, and so on) are often expressions of a nation's own emerging modernity. For India that modernity, in the realm of culture, is increasingly being interpellated by Bollywood

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
What was multiculturalism? A critical retrospect
No full textWhat was Multiculturalism? is a timely account of a socio-political theory that has featured in public debate in the West for the past forty years. Vijay Mishra offers both a compendium as well as a critique of multicultural theory in its diverse forms—from the politics of recognition, consensus, tolerance and the need for an inclusive community, to questions about the moral order, the invasive force of religious absolutism and the spectres of racism, injustice and scapegoating.
Through a series of critical reflections, Mishra offers a detached, honest bold and uncompromised reading of some of the most influential texts on multiculturalism, with a view to establishing the historical moments in the field
Multiobjective Fractional Programming Involving Generalized Semilocally V-Type I-Preinvex and Related Functions
No full textWe study a nonlinear multiple objective fractional programming with inequality
constraints where each component of functions occurring in the
problem is considered semidifferentiable along its own direction instead of
the same direction. New Fritz John type necessary and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker
type necessary and sufficient efficiency conditions are obtained for a feasible
point to be weakly efficient or efficient. Furthermore, a general Mond-Weir
dual is formulated and weak and strong duality results are proved using
concepts of generalized semilocally V-type I-preinvex functions. This contribution
extends earlier results of Preda
(2003), Mishra et al. (2005), Niculescu
(2007), and Mishra and Rautela (2009), and generalizes results obtained in the literature on
this topic
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Numerical Investigations on Vortical Structures in the Near Tongue Region of a Centrifugal Pump during Transient Operation
No full textCentrifugal pumps are considered to be an integral part of process industries around the world. The flow structure within centrifugal pumps is very complex due to the interaction between the rotating impeller and the geometric features around it, such as tongue. Researchers have been analysing the effects of the interactions between impeller blades and the tongue, however, most of these studies are based on steady-state approximations where the impeller blades are modelled using frozen-rotor approach which leads to discrepancies in the predicted flow fields. In the present study, fully transient numerical investigations, on the generation and dissipation of vortical structures in the vicinity of the tongue region, have been carried out using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based solver. The instantaneous behaviour of a centrifugal pump is studied using the Sliding Mesh technique. Simulations have been carried out on both a constant rotating speed and under decelerating conditions. The second invariant of the velocity gradient tensor i.e. Q-criterion, has been employed to identify the generation and dissipation of vortical structures near the tongue region of the pump. The results indicate that the Q-criterion is fairly non-uniform downstream the tongue region due to the complex interaction between the impeller blades and the tongue. Furthermore, it has been observed that as the rotational speed of the centrifugal pump decreases, the Q-criterion in the near tongue region remains constant. The generation, expansion and subsequent mixing of two distinct vortical structures have been noticed downstream the tongue (within the volute), whereby the strength of these structures has been observed to be decreasing as the distance from the tongue increases
