Documentary Form and Spectral Citizenship in Madhusree Dutta’s 7 Islands and a Metro
Despite its aesthetic experimentation, its intervention into urgent questions about citizenship and belonging in contemporary India, and its attention to the most iconic of Indian cities, Mumbai, Madhusree Dutta’s 2006 documentary film 7 Islands and a Metro—and Dutta’s work more broadly—has yet to receive the critical attention it demands. Addressing this gap, this article examines Dutta’s use of spectrality to structure her search for a document…
More Venezuelans in Trinidad in the 21st century
Venezuelan 'asylum seekers' arriving at the coast of Trinidad enter a new reality and become a part of a world of politics and processing like most migrants do. By no fault of their own, they embody local and global tensions concerning migration policies, border control, government authority, and international human rights and protection. This paper raises questions about the complex status and identity of Venezuelan migrants in Trinidad who came…
Spectrality and secularism in Bombay fiction
This article examines how fictions of Bombay figure the global city as haunted by spectral subjectivities, offering narratives of visibility and invisibility that engage with the intertwined impacts of global capitalism and Hindu nationalism. Focusing on Rushdie's The Moor's Last Sigh (1995) and Vikram Chandra's Sacred Games (2006), I explore how Bombay fictions mobilise narratives of spectrality and embodiment to urge us to read for communities …
Lyric maps and the legacies of 1971 in Kamila Shamsie'sKartography
This article examines how recent Pakistani literature in English negotiates the legacies of Partition and the 1971 civil war, focusing on Kamila Shamsie’s Kartography (2002). I argue that Shamsie engages with Urdu literary culture to explore the complex dialectics of memory and forgetting, intimacy and estrangement that affect Pakistani subjectivities in the post‐Partition, post‐Bangladesh period. Shamsie fuses two non‐narrative forms, Urdu lyric…
Dishonourably Postnational”? The Politics of Migrancy and Cosmopolitanism in Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance
This article explores Rohinton Mistry's novel A Fine Balance (1996), alongside his short story “Lend Me Your Light” (1987), focussing on the tensions between the politically-distanced cosmopolitan migrant and the socially-committed local activist. My readings draw on Radhakrishnan's notion of diasporic “double duty” — of accountability to, rather than irresponsible detachment from, the homeland. Mistry's representations of migrants, I contend, ar…
No longer a memoirist but a voyeur
This paper examines the relationship between photography and narration in Salman Rushdie's 1999 Rushdie, Salman. 1999. The Ground Beneath Her Feet, London: Cape. [Google Scholar] novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet in order to consider the changing representation of Bombay in the author's work. In this novel, Rushdie places a photographer‐narrator at the centre of his attempts to negotiate tensions between aesthetics and politics, offering a renego…
