This collection contains ten papers that are disparate in the Indian cultural texts they chose to address, but are thematically unified, according to the editors (professors of international relations and comparative literature at Jadavpur U., India), by their attention to the processual dynamics of changes in the nature and usage of texts in terms of their means of production, consumption/reception, and re-use. Specific topics include representations of the "modern" in Indian televisions soaps, fertility technologies and the outsourcing of reproductive labor to the less developed world, the commercialization of cricket as a sport, the establishment of the underworld hero figure in popular Bollywood films, translation as a cultural process in India, Farah Khan's 2007 film Om Shanti Om and the culture of viewership of Hindi film, portrayal of the issue of minority rights in the vernacular press of the state of West Bengal, the development of medical advertisements, and the post-independence makeover of club culture in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).
