This paper contributes to understanding this peculiar connection by focusing on the cultural impacts of Indian Tamil films on Eelam Tamil refugees resettled in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s. Building on the existing scholarship on pan-Tamil identity, memory, and film, the paper asks: how did consuming Tamil films affect Eelam Tamils’ cultural identities in their refugee resettlement? Transcultural memory is used as a framework to examine this interaction and the multi-focal identities and orientations among Eelam Tamils towards pan-Tamilness. Tamil refugees used film in a novel way to recall difficult memories of the pressures felt by a young war generation to sustain their cultural heritage while adjusting to the cultural norms of Australia. Consuming films become formative to reconstructing their cultural identities and enables the possibilities for exploring the cultural linkages and disconnections that constitute the heterogeneity of pan-Tamil subjectivities.","PeriodicalId":35199,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Popular Culture","volume":"19 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14746689.2021.1879116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47352365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kabir Singh is a macho-melodrama and a romantic account of the eponymous character, Kabir Singh, and his spiralling into self-destruction following his separation from his love interest, Preeti Sikka. Through the strategic exploitation of masculine tropes and symbols in the cinematic narrative, Vanga aims to construct the male protagonist, Kabir, as the public face of the hegemonic masculine ideology. The film, which offers to its audience a heteronormative heterotopia, also reinforces the patriarchal agenda through the portrayal of a sentimental, submissive woman with negligible autonomy. The article aims to develop its argument of masculinity and its association with pervasive power in the film through the reading of specific scenes through the intellectual and theoretical apparatuses of R.W. Connell, Michael Kimmell, and Michael Kaufman. It looks at the construction of masculinities as a homosocial enactment and also reads the protagonist’s borderline toxic behaviour through the theories of machoism and overcompensation of masculine identities. The paper concludes with situating Kabir Singh in Bollywood’s continuum of toxic masculinity. Through the deployment of masculinities and its nexus with sexism, this research paper also aims to query how machoistic scripts of masculinity implicate heterosexual romantic relationships.","PeriodicalId":35199,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Popular Culture","volume":"19 1","pages":"15 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14746689.2021.1879094","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45227233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It speaks to how the BLM has been always already a large part of this scholar’s pedagogical impulses and curricular design; for her graduate seminars in humanities, she centers black subjectivities in the texts, theories, and trajectories that are chosen. When the M4BL put out their philosophical vision, she brought, shared, and taught it in the prison classroom. Key themes of prison studies inform her classroom texts from abolition democracy to Afropessimism; her work critically reflects on these connections in classrooms that often have both black and brown students alongside white students, some of whom are declared white supremacists. Through a memoiristic-exercise of dwelling on the lived material reality of being a teacher who travels between the free and the carceral worlds, the knowledge transmitted as tools to dissemble walls, the essay attest to extant bridges of personal-political-ideological in which a brown immigrant woman can draw from a deep well of black epistemologies to speak about humanity in the last stops of the U.S. academy, its prisons.","PeriodicalId":35199,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Popular Culture","volume":"19 1","pages":"109 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14746689.2021.1885116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42571168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research unpacks the extent to which Bollywood films as mediating artefact might offer connection, concatenation, or complication to diasporic youths as they negotiate and locate their hybrid cultural identities through their daily lived experience away from India. Diasporic youths called out the dissonance, they felt between depiction of Indianness in Bollywood and their way of life now. Others, when invested in specific and contextual Bollywood phenomena in their lived experience through dance performances and subsequently reaping monetary or social benefits, presented a different perspective. To them, Bollywood cinema offered a desired comforting manifestation and celebration of their Indianness. The findings thus far affirm that the myriad of views, sometimes conflicting, still underscore the vitality and vibrancy of Bollywood cinema amongst diasporic youths in Auckland.","PeriodicalId":35199,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Popular Culture","volume":"19 1","pages":"67 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14746689.2021.1879155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46123492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process of ‘becoming’ and redefinition of the ‘self’ leads to an ongoing struggle alongside the context, practices and culture of the host country thus creating multiple challenges while discarding or modifying popular notions of self and culture. Identities are fluid and subject to varying degrees of change brought about by one’s experiences and culture. As two ethnic migrant women in Australia, living in the context of social cleavages encompassing race, gender, culture, class, education and memories, we acknowledge our hybrid identities based on our past selves and the borrowed/adapted ways of doing and being in Australia. Tied in with these issues of identity is the concept of ‘settlement’ in Australia. While remaining mindful that dislocation of nation is not always dislocation of gender and social class, our autoethnographic accounts reveal our negotiations of ‘settlement’ within this alien yet now familiar space. In the process, this paper highlights the need for a niche discussion space for unpacking the experiences of transnational women of colour such as us who occupy a zone of what we term as ‘privileged marginalisation’.","PeriodicalId":35199,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Popular Culture","volume":"19 1","pages":"47 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14746689.2021.1879134","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47880330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Popular films like Agantuk (1991) by Satyajit Ray, Barfi!

The very enactment of folk performances in the films attain the forms of ‘cultural guerrillas’ when the heteroglossia of indigenous marginal and minor folk culture make its existence in the majoritarian popular cultures like films and a cultural negotiation happens between two diagonally opposite cultures. ‘Cultural Rigging’ is a term coined by the Bengali Dalit poet Manohar Mouli Biswas to mention the tendency of a culture being performed by another culture when it becomes ‘highly enjoyable’ (38).
