This book addresses the current issues of violence,
masculinity and power in the postcolonial context
and their representation in films.The essays
contribute critical insights into the analyses of films
based on societal violence in postcolonial cultures:
be it in the context of colonial oppression, terrorism,
genocide, communal riots, criminal underworld or
mob violence etc.
The volume seeks to investigate some of those
variegated facets of postcolonial `violences` as they
are played out in historically and culturally diverse
public spaces of different postcolonial societies
through the paradigm of cinematic representation.
Although the book seeks to explore the phases of
differences among postcolonial cultures, the essays
hinge around common questions - How does the
experience and representation of violence change
with the specificity of the postcolonial context? How
do postcolonial cinemas negotiate ideas of conflict
through the scenes of violence? How does violence
as a cinematic trope shape postcolonial identities,
especially of masculinities?ISBN:9789381017159
