The spectre of Kashmir and Bombay Cinema’
23 10 2013
Nehru Memorial Museum and Library
cordially invites you to a Seminar
at 3.00 pm on Thursday, 24 October, 2013
in the Seminar Room, First Floor, Library Building
on
‘Transfigured Landscape:
The spectre of Kashmir and Bombay Cinema’
by
Prof. Shohini Ghosh,
Jamia Millia Islamia,
New Delhi.
The
brutal unfolding of the violent conflict in Kashmir; its representation
and reportage has reconfigured the discursive imagination around the
landscape and its people. While images of the picturesque landscape have
circulated widely, the inhabitants of Kashmir have been strangely
missing. Bombay cinema has for the longest time, privileged the stunning
landscape of Kashmir while emptying it of its inhabitants. At the cusp
of the 21st century, the missing inhabitants return as militants to
haunt the imagination of Bombay cinema catalyzing thereby far-reaching
formalist and narrative shifts while at the same time, producing a force
field of powerful affects. The spectre of a `resistant’ Kashmir, this
presentation will argue, reanimates the cinematic image by inaugurating a
`new’ cinema of action, melodrama, sensation and spectacular star
bodies.
Speaker:
Prof.
Shohini Ghosh is Sajjad Zaheer Professor at the AJK Mass Communication
Research Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. She is the author of Fire, A Queer Classic, 2010 and Director of Tales of the Night Fairies, a documentary on the sex-workers movement for decriminalization.
