> CinemaSpace proposes to bring together scholars working on Indian cinema
> in an attempt to refocus our attention on questions of technology,
> aesthetics and the production of cinematic space. The structuring of the
> cinematic city will be the organizing thread of the conference. The
> conference attempts to initiate new conversations between papers that
> address the aesthetics and narrative forms of Indian cinema from different
> standpoints. The imagining of the cinematic city is a significant thematic
> that will allow us to think through the structuring of space in Indian
> cinema outside culturalist assumptions, and to help us understand its
> aesthetic practice as historical and internationalist at the same time.
> Rather than cinema being a space through which one finds traces of real
> cities, the conference attempts to think of space of the city in cinema as
> a frame of intelligibility.
