Revolving Around India(s): Alternative Images, Emerging Perspectives
This book highlights a variety of approaches to the study of contemporary India and offers a transnational, gender and social research perspective on the concepts of Indian tradition, the representation of the Indian diaspora and the emergent political activisms in India. The contributions suggest questions and answers about the various temporal and spatial loci inherent to India and its gender and ethnic differences. The volume analyses different cultural texts, and explores how they refer to equality and interculturality or promote discourses of fear and racism. The multiple viewpoints and analyses found in this volume will broaden and stimulate both upcoming outcomes and studies on the future of India.
Vida de Aparna Sen
Aparna Sen (1947) es una de las pocas cineastas indias que ha logrado realizar cine en una industria dominada por los hombres. Cuenta en su haber diez largometrajes y es uno de los cineastas que ha logrado abrir camino hacia un nuevo tipo de cine en su país, alejado de la industria de Bolliwood. Nacida en Calcuta, su cine arroja una mirada crítica sobre la compleja situación de un país en proceso de cambio; pero sin perder de vista la dimensión universal de todo ser humano, lo que logra desde el intimismo de unos personajes plenos de matices. Actriz y periodista, sigue trabajando incansable en la actualidad.
