Abstract

Film heroines have been an integral part of Hindi cinema’s long-standing transnational circuits and, in more recent times, of global Bollywood. Due to current changes in the reception context, young audiences in Trinidad are confronted with the need to make meaning of heroines within disjunctive cultural formations, both in negotiating heroines of newly released films as well as renegotiating established icons. This article offers a historical overview of Hindi cinema, related notions of idealized Indian womanhood, and marginalized viewing pleasures. Secondly, drawing on interviews conducted in Trinidad between 2010 and 2013, it gives insights into the signifying practices of young women. The focus is on how young women exert discursive and interpretative power to selectively reconfigure heroines and star texts, thereby signifying Indianness as well as a space to express their desires.
理想化的身体——理想化的化身:特立尼达宝莱坞女主角的年轻女性观众及其(再)谈判
电影女主角一直是印地语电影长期跨国巡回演出不可或缺的一部分,最近也是全球宝莱坞的一部分。由于目前接收环境的变化,特立尼达的年轻观众面临着在脱节的文化形态中理解女英雄意义的需要,无论是在谈判新上映电影的女英雄,还是在重新谈判既定偶像。本文对印地语电影、理想化印度女性的相关概念以及边缘化的观看乐趣进行了历史概述。其次,根据2010年至2013年在特立尼达进行的采访,它深入了解了年轻女性的象征性做法。重点是年轻女性如何发挥话语和解释力,选择性地重新配置女主人公和明星文本,从而象征着印度性以及表达欲望的空间。
