Bombay Hustle

Making Movies in a Colonial City

By: Debashree Mukherjee

From starry-eyed fans with dreams of fame to cotton entrepreneurs turned movie moguls, the Bombay film industry has historically energized a range of practices and practitioners, playing a crucial and compelling role in the life of modern India. Bombay Hustle presents an ambitious history of Indian cinema as a history of material practice, bringing new insights to studies of media, modernity, and the late colonial city. Drawing on original archival research and an innovative transdisciplinary approach, Debashree Mukherjee offers a panoramic portrait of the consolidation of the Bombay film industry during the talkie transition of the 1920s–1940s. In the decades leading up to independence in 1947, Bombay became synonymous with marketplace thrills, industrial strikes, and modernist experimentation. Its burgeoning film industry embodied Bombay’s spirit of “hustle,” gathering together and spewing out the many different energies and emotions that characterized the city. Bombay Hustle examines diverse sites of film production—finance, pre-production paperwork, casting, screenwriting, acting, stunts—to show how speculative excitement jostled against desires for scientific management in an industry premised on the struggle between contingency and control. Mukherjee develops the concept of a “cine-ecology” in order to examine the bodies, technologies, and environments that collectively shaped the production and circulation of cinematic meaning in this time. The book thus brings into view a range of marginalized film workers, their labor and experiences; forgotten film studios, their technical practices and aesthetic visions; and overlooked connections among media practices, geographical particularities, and historical exigencies.

Health and Human Rights:The Missing Link

By: Debashree Mukherjee

The concepts of health and human rights are interlinked and the infringement of one automatically results in the deprivation of the other. With the advancement of civilization and the manifestation of globalization around us in diverse ways, the linkage appears to be even more pronounced. This is because with the ushering in of globalization, the discrimination and the distinction between classes of people have become very much distinct. Tracing the history of such linkage between health and human rights it can be observed that such deprivation was also a part of the society existent in the early days but the linkage was not clearly visible as the cases of deprivation of health services and the discrimination in the dissemination of such services within the members of the country were not reported. Also, the services of healthcare were not of a proper standard and hence the question of affordability of such services did not arise at all. Health and Human Rights:- The Missing Linkattempts to establish the linkage between health and human rights. Conceived in two sections, the book first helps the reader to have a better understanding of the linkage between health and human rights by discussing about the disparities in the dispersion and implementation of the right to health and the various facets of such rights namely, the availability of essential medicines, the control of neglected diseases, the exploration of the synergy between ethics of public health, the association of migration, health and human rights and so on. It then tries to bring out the present standard of preservation of the right to health in diverse countries across the globe covering both the developed and the developing economies of the world.
