Mobility, Modernity and the Slum: The Real and Virtual Journeys of Slumdog Millionaire: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mobility, Modernity and the Slum: The Real and Virtual Journeys of Slumdog Millionaire" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Only virtuous humans are supposed to move in time to meet their happy destiny or karma. The tale of Jamal in Slumdog Millionaire is such a case of serendipitous mobility towards riches and love a journey in which good heroes and urban communities respecting solidarity are successfully modernised. Unsurprisingly, the film became tangled in many controversies around Indias destiny in the world: the film inserted Mumbai into various financial, political and artistic scenes, increased tourism in its filmed slums, and brought about charity projects in which celebrities and tourist businesses were involved. Slumdog Millionaire served as a global example of a developing countrys uneven but unique modernisation.

This book examines such mobilities of ideas, art, tourism and activism together. In doing so, it reveals the significance of Mumbai as a post-colonial city in discussions of modernity a form of mobile adaptation to new world realities. Tzanelli examines the various agents involved in controversies through multiple virtual and real journeys to Indias colonial history and present social complexity, with a view to actualise a post-colonial future, a destiny as the countrys serendipitous destination. Addressed to interdisciplinary audiences, the book will be a useful text for students and scholars of globalisation, mobility, tourism, media and social movement theory.

With Mobility, Modernity and the Slum , Tzanelli proves once again to be a compelling guide through the world of cinematic tourism, offering readers a richly detailed analysis of Slumdog Millionaire that draws our gaze beyond the screen to reveal the complex web of artistic communities, culture and heritage industries, transnational tourism, and charitable activism that surrounds the film. Brimming with theoretical insights and perceptive analyses, this stimulating book will transform the way we understand global circulations of film, art, and volunteer tourism.
