- Outside the Lettered City represents the culmination and distillation of a decade of extensive archival research in India and the UK, which involved the collection, collation, and analysis of a large body of difficult-to-access written and audio-visual material from the early 20th century. Moving beyond established practices in the study of moving images, institutions, and audiences, the book brings a new perspective to scholarship on colonial modernity, cinematic publics, Indian cinema, and the public sphere that challenges both foundational debates in Indian film historiography and Eurocentric understandings of the relationship between cinema and modernity.
