In A Very Old Machine, Sudhir Mahadevan shows how Indian cinema's many origins in the technologies and practices of the nineteenth century continue to play a vital and broad function in its twenty-first-century present. He proposes that there has never been a singular cinema in India; rather, Indian cinema has been a multifaceted phenomenon that was (and is) understood, experienced, and present in everyday life in myriad ways. Employing methods of media archaeology, close textual analysis, archival research, and cultural theory, Mahadevan digs into the history of photography, print media, practices of piracy and showmanship, and contemporary everyday imaginations of the cinema to offer an understanding of how the cinema came to be such a dominant force of culture in India. The result is an open-ended and innovative account of Indian cinema's "many origins." - Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-226), filmography (page 227), and index. - Contents: Part I: Obsolescence. The nineteenth century Indian techno-bazaar -- Traveling showmen, makeshift cinemas : the Bioscopewallah and early cinema -- Part II: Mechanical reproduction and mass culture. Copyright and cultural authenticity : The politics of mechanical reproduction in South Asia -- The cinema as mass culture : the melodramas of mechanical reproduction -- Part III. Intermediality. The emergence of topicality : snapshot cultures and newspaper photojournalism -- Politics across media : the partition of Bengal (1905) and the cinematic city -- Part IV: Archives. The abundant ephemeral : the protocols of popular film historiography in India -- Postscript. - Sudhir Mahadevan is Associate Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media at the University of Washington.
