What they do not say is that women’s lives are also largely unrecorded. Women, and the work they do, slip through memory’s net leaving large gaps in our collective consciousness about challenges faced and mastered, discoveries made and celebrated, collaborations forged and valued. Combating this pervasive amnesia is not an easy task. This book is a beginning in another direction, an attempt to try and construct the professional lives of four of Mumbai’s women (where the discussion has ventured into the personal lives of these women, it has only been in relation to the professional or to their public images). And who better to attempt this construction than young people on the verge of building their own professional lives? In learning about the lives of inspiring professionals, we hoped our students would learn about navigating a world they were about to enter and also perhaps have an opportunity to reflect a little and learn about themselves. So four groups of students of the post-graduate diploma in Social Communications Media, SCMSophia’s class of 2014 set out to choose the women whose lives they wanted to follow and then went out to create stereoscopic views of them.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

Habib Subhan Department of English, Aligarh Muslim University, India ABSTRACT: The postmodern era has observed a shift from what has so long been considered as fixed and static to nothing is constant or fixed like concepts. Taking such notion as the parameter postcolonial theorists, feminists, poststructuralists have tried to see and analyze various issues from different angles. Issues like identity, subjectivity, representation, authentic voices have got new perspectives. Like culture, body or sex is a site of conflict where individual’s identity is being contested endlessly. The ‘third gender’, which has long been marginalized or deprived of their identity, representation, true and authentic voice in the main stream of social and cultural milieu deserves the critical attention. ‘Third gender’ or the ‘People of In-between’ are considered not belonging to the general binary division of gender - male and female. Since long their plight is more like the ‘subaltern’. The Bollywood cinema has long been portraying the character of ‘third gender’ in various films. These films clearly reveal that their representation is biased, sensitive and stereotyping. The violation and violence, centered on issues of sex and body, is not only sexual violence in nature but it is a kind of denial of identity and voice in the society. They are judged and studied in terms of sexual behavior.
