Editat de Aysha Viswamohanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 dec 2024
The wide-ranging essays reflect on issues of gender violence, sexuality, performance, domestic and public spaces, along with the role of women in the Indian film industry. They draw on current global discourses on gender including #Me Too, ‘Time’s Up’, LGBTQIA, and a call for wages for women on a par with their male counterparts and other socio-cultural debates in the Indian society.
The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of film studies, gender studies, culture studies, and South Asian studies.
