In this seminar, we will use examples from Hindi and English literature as well as Indian films to make “the city” our subject. We will not only use these primary sources in Hindi but also the academic literature to investigate our topic. We will together discuss the artistic engagement of writers and filmmakers with the city; and at the same time, use the work of anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, and political theorists to immerse ourselves in the complex, contradicting and controversial stories of South Asian cities in the crucial decades between the 1920s and the present.
The seminar thus consists of two focal points: on the one hand with film and literary studies approaches that deal with materials in Hindi, and secondly, a cultural studies critique that deals with the cultural, social and historical contexts of these works.
