Film, Media and Representation in Postcolonial South Asia: Beyond Partition
Editat de Nukhbah Taj Langah, Roshni Senguptaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2023
Through wide-ranging essays on soft power, performance, film, and television; art and visual culture; and cyber space, social media, and digital texts, the book bridges the gap in the study of the postcolonial and post-Partition developments to reimagine South Asia through a critical understanding of popular culture and media. The volume includes scholars and practitioners from the subcontinent to foster dialogue across the borders, and presents diverse and in-depth studies on film, media and representation in the region.
This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of media and film studies, postcolonial studies, visual cultures, political studies, partition history, cultural studies, mass media, popular culture, history, sociology and South Asian studies, as well as to media practitioners, journalists, writers, and activists.

Recenzii
'An important and politically timely volume on the two partitions that brings together leading scholars in the fields of media and cultural production. It is fuelled by a shared aspiration, which is to challenge the binaries of history and construct a more open and vibrant mediascape in South Asia.'
Nira Wickramasinghe, Professor of Modern South Asian Studies, Leiden University, Netherlands
'Two partitions, bloodbaths, and migrations define toxic nationalisms in South Asia. As a region still struggling with decolonisation, it is imperative that the religious and militaristic constructs of national identity be challenged through discourses that have been excluded from the mainstream and suppressed by coercive states. This volume is seminal in many ways as it aims to foster dialogue among scholars and practitioners. It is a valuable reference for students, thinkers, and publics within and beyond South Asia.'
