- Inhalt
- Bollywood is one of the biggest movie industries in the world that produces approximately 1600 movies in a year. In terms of viewership and cultural impact, Bollywood competes with Hollywood as the most influential cinema on the globe. Furthermore, the substantial Indian diasporas around the world encourage Bollywood producers to make cinemas based on current world phenomena; and since the 9/11, a lot of Bollywood movies were made that talk about terrorism and terrorists.
This Übung is intended to explore the theme of “terrorism” in post 9/11 Bollywood movies and literary representation of Muslim characters in it. To do so, this class will focus on films that explicitly refer to 9/11 and the 2008’s Mumbai terrorist attack.
