Conclusion. 001482483 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001482483 520__ $$aThrough engaging media coverage of the public lives of Bollywood actresses, this book unveils understandings of idealized femininity and gender within this cultural context. Beyond its own borders, such a context is unique given the global relevance of content from and about Bollywood with members of the diaspora as well as those culturally Indian individuals that are no longer part of the diaspora. This book thus engages these actresses as global Indian celebrities who are framed and presented as contemporary urban Indian exemplars of gender via media coverage about them. The book therefore offers a robust and detailed case study of the Bollywood star system so as to demonstrate how the nuances of this unique cultural context influence the dimensions of postfeminism and celebrity culture therein. Viraj Suparsad is a post-doctoral fellow in African Feminist Imagination at The Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha, South Africa. He holds a PhD in Media Studies from The University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. His published works look at issues relating to postcolonial femininities as they emerge in popular culture spaces in the global south. 001482483 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 16, 2023). 001482483 650_0 $$aMotion picture actors and actresses$$xPress coverage$$zIndia$$zMumbai.$$0(DLC)sj 96004701 001482483 650_0 $$aCelebrities in popular culture$$zIndia. 001482483 650_0 $$aFemininity in popular culture$$zDeveloping countries.$$0(DLC)sh2003006408 001482483 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482483 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9819956994$$z9789819956999$$w(OCoLC)1390189505 001482483 830_0 $$aPalgrave series in Asia and Pacific studies,$$x2662-7930 001482483 852__ $$bebk 001482483 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-99-5700-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482483 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482483$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482483 980__ $$aBIB 001482483 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482483 982__ $$aEbook 001482483 983__ $$aOnline 001482483 994__ $$a92$$bISE
