Déjà Viewed
Situates the remake as one of the primary responses to
Bollywood's globalization and corporatization.
Focused on post-1990 Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films,
Déjà Viewed tells a larger story of the
rapidly changing Indian film industry in the wake of
globalization and corporatization. It situates the remake as a
gendered response to these changes, drawing on approaches from
film theory, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book
looks at films from a variety of genres and modes, including
the Bollywood family film, romantic comedy, noir, and
melodrama, and each film's close analysis is accompanied by
attention to concerns related to remake theory, such as homage,
anxiety of influence, defamiliarization, and pastiche. Seeking
to historicize how gender and genres become translated and
transformed in the Bollywood remake, the book contributes to
transnational understandings of gender and genre as media texts
move across various borders—geographic, cinematic,
economic, and aesthetic.

Introduction: Methods in China-India Studies
Amid growing interest in studying China and India together, this special issue, “Methods in China-India Studies,” seeks to open a conversation on the relevance, approaches, and stakes of China-India research. Why should we pair China and India together, how can we best do so, and to what ends? In this introduction to the issue, the editors first discuss the rationales commonly evoked as justification for studying China and India together. The first section articulates shared intellectual commitments as lending a coherence to China-India studies, and as providing a common ground and point of departure for scholars across disciplinary boundaries. The second section outlines a history of the China-India pairing from the first century CE to the end of the twentieth century, with a focus on how a range of historical actors paired China and India under shifting political circumstances and with differing objectives. This section also offers an assessment of the methodological approaches recent scholarship has extended to studying each of these periods. As a whole, this introduction reflects on the unique challenges and opportunities of conducting China-India research, and outlines some of the contributions the China and India conceptual pairing can make to other fields of study.

Languages and Nations
British rule of India brought together two very different traditions of scholarship about language, whose conjuncture led to several intellectual breakthroughs of lasting value. Two of these were especially important: the conceptualization of the Indo-European language family by Sir William Jones at Calcutta in 1786-proposing that Sanskrit is related to Persian and languages of Europe-and the conceptualization of the Dravidian language family of South India by F.W. Ellis at Madras in 1816-the \"Dravidian proof,\" showing that the languages of South India are related to one another but are not derived from Sanskrit. These concepts are valid still today, centuries later. This book continues the examination Thomas R. Trautmann began inAryans and British India(1997). While the previous book focused on Calcutta and Jones, the current volume examines these developments from the vantage of Madras, focusing on Ellis, Collector of Madras, and the Indian scholars with whom he worked at the College of Fort St. George, making use of the rich colonial record. Trautmann concludes by showing how elements of the Indian analysis of language have been folded into historical linguistics and continue in the present as unseen but nevertheless living elements of the modern.
