"Cinema, Affect and Immaterial Labour in Urban India" - what's it about? Answer: the allure of 'film cities' in Indian economic development
-
-
-
-
Historical: role of film studios, exhibition sites, film naratives in playing into Indian nationalism and development goals
-
-
Affect in Bollywood tradition, as well as urban life, 'rasa theory' (p. 54), but not consciously referred to by filmmakers etc. Better understood in relation to 'contact zones' and infrastructure

Example: Ramoji Film City (world's largest), near Hyderabad (since 1997)
A film city is a "one stop shop" for pre-production, production, post production etc. (p. 60)
Resource intensive, risky, and not of purely economic benefit
Problem: "labor-capital relations can be remotely managed in various locations, often without recourse to the central authority of the nation- state" (p. 61)
