Product Information

Based on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Onscreen/Offscreen is an exploration of the politics and being of filmic images. The book examines contestations inside and outside the Tamil film industry over the question "what is an image?" Answers to this question may be found in the ontological politics that take place on film sets, in theatre halls, and in the social fabric of everyday life in South India, from populist electoral politics and the gendering of social space to caste uplift and domination. Bridging and synthesizing linguistic anthropology, film studies, visual studies, and media anthropology, Onscreen/Offscreen rethinks key issues across a number of fields concerned with the semiotic constitution of social life, from the performativity and ontology of images to questions of spectatorship, realism, and presence. In doing so, it offers both a challenge to any approach that would separate image from social context and a new vision for linguistic anthropology beyond the question of "language."

Reviews
"When is a movie not 'just a movie'? Onscreen/Offscreen explores the permeable boundaries between fiction film and real politics in Tamil culture, where movie stars become party leaders, and mass movements struggle to define themselves in a cine-politics of spectatorship amid struggles for power and identity. Constantine Nakassis brilliantly explores a complex field of images that are simultaneously representations and real presences, fictive and actual, pictures and performative actions. A crucial contribution to film studies and to contemporary anthropology." --W.J.T. Mitchell, author of Image Scienceand What Do Pictures Want? "By using the tools of semiotic anthropology to examine Tamil cinema, Onscreen/Offscreen models an incredibly innovativemethodology for understanding the cinematic image more broadly and in radically processual terms. Nakassis pursues the question of how images happen and for whom they happen across events, and in doing so he reaches brilliant insights into the gender politics of cinema and the potentials of realism when the power of the image always exceeds what has been recorded and what is projected onto the screen." --Francis Cody, Associate Professor of Anthropology and in the Asian Institute, University of Toronto "How can a slap onscreen threaten the life of an actor offscreen? This book is not only a passionate and detailed portrait of Tamil cinema and filmgoing, but also a theoretical meditation about images and their power. Thanks to vibrant analyses and striking case studies, superb ethnographic research becomes a crucial contribution to the current debate about visual media and their political implications." --Francesco Casetti, Sterling Professor of Humanities and Film and Media Studies, Yale University "Applying the analytic strategies and methods of linguistic anthropology to film, Constantine Nakassis presents a comprehensive look at cinema as un fait social total . Far more than a deep dive into Tamil film history, Onscreen/Offscreen is a major contribution to cinema studies and the anthropology of images." --Steven Feld, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, University of New Mexico
