 There is an update for the March 13th Colloquium talk. The original speaker is unfortunately unable to attend, however we are happy to announce that we will be welcoming Dr. UmaMaheswari Bhrugubanda, Assistant Professor in the Department of Cultural Studies from the English and Foreign Languages University in Hyderabad, India. 

She will speaking about her book: 

‘Deities and Devotees: Cinema, Religion, and Politics in South India.’
This book studies the intersections between popular cinema, religion, and politics in South India. The first full-length study of Telugu mythological and devotional films, it combines an account of the history and politics of these genres with an anthropology of film-making and viewership practices. It argues that cinema and other audio-visual technologies lead to the re-orientation of sensibilities and the cultivation of new sensory modes.

We look forward to seeing you there.
