Gendered Rage
This article brings the concept of anger, particularly gendered anger, to bear on a postcolonial and intersectional reading of the apparent ragelessness of working-class Indian women who act as surrogates in the international commercialgestational surrogacy (ICGS) industry in India. We explore how rage—the robust expression of the primary emotion of anger—can be silenced, how anger can be disallowed out of existence. Despite being given little in…
Educação em diabetes e mudanças nos hábitos de vida
A Diabetes mellitus é uma desordem metabólica com alta prevalência na população mundial. A mais comum é a diabetes mellitus do tipo 2, quando o corpo torna-se resistente à insulina ou não produz insulina suficiente resultando em redução significativa da expectativa de vida além de aumentar a utilização dos serviços de saúde. O autocuidado com a doença é complicado pela falta de adesão ao tratamento. A educação permanente em saúde surge neste cont…
Romancing the other
Arundhati Roy’s second and latest novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness — which took her 10 years to write — is crammed full of misfits and outsiders, the flotsam and jetsam of India’s complex, stratified society. The novel is inhabited by cohorts of others: hijras, political rebels, the poor, women who will not “know their place”, and abandoned baby girls. The narrative of Roy’s latest political romance shows these others carving out new space…
Hospitality and Re-Orientalist Thresholds
In times of heightened, no-longer-linear migratory flows, when migrations oscillate and even double back on their own routes, this article interrogates the unwritten social contract of hospitality between host and guest. Taking as a case study Amit Chaudhuri’s returnee narrative, Calcutta: Two Years in the City (2013)—his personal account of relocation to India—this paper juxtaposes the mismatch between hospitalities assumed and experienced, from…

The Marketing of Postcolonial Literature
This chapter focuses on the commercial dynamics of contemporary literary culture as they play out in recent South Asian fiction written in English by cosmopolitan authors. The focus of my analysis rests on literary texts which have emerged as sites where experiences, desires, transitions and anxieties related to the profound social and structural changes that are shaping the socio-economic landscape of the world are drawn on and negotiated. The m…
Post-9/11 re-orientalism
This article offers a comparative reading of the novel and film adaptation of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, looking at the ways these texts represent changing Western public perceptions towards Pakistan and vice-versa along the temporal axis 2001–2007–2012. Both novel and film are informed by the post-9/11 distrust of the Muslim other. Mohsin Hamid’s novel was begun before 9/11 and published seven years later, in 2007; Mira Nair’s film adaptation…
Padma or No Padma
It is remarkable that what many consider as Salman Rushdie’s landmark work in fiction, Midnight’s Children, was first adapted to film only in 2012, 31 years after its publication. It was also the first of his works to be filmed. This is noteworthy given the novel’s cinematic self-awareness and the writer’s overt interest in acting and cinema, which he has reiterated over the years. Cinema, as a subject matter and a distinctive artistic language, …
India through re-Orientalist Lenses
Re-Orientalism, initially defined as the perpetration of Orientalism by ‘Orientals’ (Lau 2009), is a discourse which comes out of and is inescapably informed by postcolonial and diasporic legacies. The investigation of re-Orientalism has revealed new, even radical strategies of eastern identity construction which, while not escaping Orientalism, manage to Orientalize subversively and with considerable self-awareness. This essay highlights two str…
