  • Press Note: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 – Day 2
    Press Note: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 – Day 2 Event: A Fierce Beauty Launch of ‘Goddesses of Kathmandu Valley: Grace, Rage, Knowledge’ by Arun Gupto Kolkata, 15th January, 2016: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 hosted the launch of ‘Goddesses of Kathmandu Valley: Grace, Rage, Knowledge’ penned by Arun Gupto. The book was released by Aparna Sen, Award winning filmmaker, screenwriter and actor, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. This book maps the diverse identities of goddesses through metaphors of grace, rage and knowledge, and offers an in-depth insight into femininity, sexual politics, ritual worships, religion, ecology and gender. Grace manifests as motherly sublimity, warring protectors, and varying personifications of sexuality. Rage encapsulates the fearful aspects of goddesses and independent identities of women. Knowledge evokes associations with order, reason and intellect in conflating gendered binaries of body/mind and nature/culture. The volume explores how these deity attributes are expressed and embedded through anthropomorphic as well as inorganic forms of nature, beautiful women, multi-legged and many-armed animals, epistemic selves, demonic beings, glamorous personifications as also grotesque sub-humans. The launch was followed by a captivating discussion with Aparna Sen and Kalyan Ray, writer and Professor of Literature bringing about insights into methodological combination of critical theory, mythological and philosophical concepts, along with religious studies, cultural studies, folklore, art, literature, sociology and gender studies, especially those interested in Nepal and Hinduism. About Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival (AKLF) 2016 Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival (AKLF) is Kolkata’s pioneering literary festival. Instituted in 2010 by the Apeejay Surrendra Group and its heritage Oxford Bookstore on Park Street, AKLF grew out of the bookstore’s year round involvement with books, writers & publishers.

  • O Przygodach Bengalczyków W Indyjsko-Japońskim Ogrodzie Fikcji
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Monika Browarczyk Uniwersytet Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu O przygodach Bengalczyków w indyjsko-japońskim ogrodzie fi kcji The Japanese Wife Aparny Sen i Kunala Basu Europejskie stereotypy na wyrafi nowanego kulturalnie erudytę i intelektuali- stę namaszczają Francuza; na subkontynencie indyjskim jego odpowiednikiem w obiegowej opinii jest Bengalczyk postrzegany jako przedstawiciel inteligen- cji i awangardy artystycznej – jeśli nie twórca, to choćby subtelny koneser sztuk. Źródła intelektualnego wysublimowania mieszkańców Bengalu indyj- ski – a szczególnie północnoindyjski vox populi, choć populi ogranicza się do niewielkiej stosunkowo grupy odbiorców kultury – odnajduje w pionierskim i bliskim kontakcie Bengalu z kulturą brytyjskich kolonizatorów. Kontakt ten inspirował twórców regionu do wprowadzenia nowatorskich przemian w róż- nych dziedzinach sztuki, co z kolei stało się natchnieniem dla artystów z innych części subkontynentu, zwłaszcza zaś właśnie z północy. W licznym panteonie wybitnych autorów bengalskich szczególne miejsce zajmują oddaleni od siebie w czasie Rabindranath Tagore (wym. Tagor) (1861−1941) i Satyajit Ray (wym. Satjadźit Raj) (1921−1992), którzy w swoich dziedzinach – literaturze i fi lmie1 – stali się rozpoznawanymi i docenianymi w całym świecie ikonami kultury nawet nie bengalskiej, ale indyjskiej2. Co więcej, Ray sięgał wielokrotnie do twórczości Rabindranatha Tagore’a, przekładając jego literaturę na swój własny język kina autorskiego. 1 Choć nie ograniczali się tylko do twórczości w jednej dyscyplinie. Ray pisał również opo- wiadania i powieści, a Rabindranath Tagore, najsławniejszy indyjski poeta, był także powieściopi- sarzem, nowelistą, dramaturgiem, eseistą, kompozytorem i malarzem. Por.

  • Sati, House of Memories, and 15 Park Avenue
    Gender and Women’s Studies RESEARCH ARTICLE Disability, Agency, and Subjectivity in Aparna Sen’s Three Disability Films: Sati, House of Memories, and 15 Park Avenue Sreerupa Sengupta Department of English, Auburn University, USA Abstract This paper focuses on three films directed by Indian-Bengali filmmaker Aparna Sen: Sati (1989) (Bengali), Paromitar Ekdin (subtitled as House of Memories) (2000) (Bengali), and 15 Park Avenue (English) (2006). Set in three different time periods and geopolitical spaces, these films experiment with the tabooed concept of female disability in India. Through a close reading and detailed analysis of the films, this paper argues that disability in the subcontinent has an altogether different implication for women because they are more valued in terms of their bodies’ cultural, social, and familial profitability or exchange value than their individual qualities. While disabled men are seen as unfortunate and objects of pity, disabled women are held culpable for shaming their family, community, and nation. In the subcontinent, disability is conveniently used to stigmatize women deviating from the normative duties their bodies should fulfill, including bearing children and being satisfactory sexual partners. This paper claims that disability is occasionally used as a discriminatory term irrespective of its medical validity. Sen does not forget to reiterate the fact that medical diagnosis is not a valid method in determining the lack of functionality of an individual. Uma, Khuku, and Mithi, are the specially-abled characters who are marginalized due to their deviation from “socially and politically constructed able-bodied or neurotypical norm” (Fraser 6). This chapter shows how Sen denies binary identity categories, such as abled-disabled, normal-abnormal, through a recognition of alternative ways of being.

  • The Japanese Wife and Udaan Abhijit Ghosh-Dastidar
    Frontier Autumn Number Vol.43 No.12-15, October 3-30, 2010 FILMS The Japanese Wife and Udaan Abhijit Ghosh-Dastidar The Japanese Wife Aparna Sen takes Kunal Basu’s short story to the screen in “The Japanese Wife” (colour, Bengali / English, 100 mins). The modern day weepie springs from a beguiling romance, where star-crossed pen friends battle a vast geographical distance. Rain and thunder introduces the Sundarbans atmosphere. Snehamoy (Rahul Bose), a Bengali school teacher, who speaks English in a heavy Bengali accent, introduces himself to Miyage (Chigusa Takaku), through letters. As the ornate visuals glide over emotions and the rural scenario, voice over reading the letter composed in English, acts as dialogue. Even though repetitious, the letters and the gift parcels, create a visual rhythm. Snehamoy explains the meaning of names, and emphasizes that pronunciation is to be practiced by rolling the tongue. There are cuts to Kolkata’s road traffic. Snehamoy’s parents were killed by floods in the Matla river, and was brought up by an affectionate aunt/‘mashi’(Moushumi Chatterjee). A boat full of people, conveys a huge box from Japan. A child recites a limerick recalling the Japanese dropping bombs on Calcutta. As Snehamoy’s English ability is poor, he has to translate Bengali to English, after consulting a dictionary. Miyage has an elder brother who works in a big store in Yokohomma. She lives in the old family house in Tokyo, with her mother, who is ill. Her father died a year earlier. She is curious about India, and her father had visited India once, during a kite festival.
