    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.

  • SALA 2017 Beyond the Postcolonial?
    SALA 2017 Beyond the Postcolonial?: Meaning-Making and South Asian Studies in the 21st Century The 17th Annual Conference of the South Asian Literary Association Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District Hotel (400 Arch Street) in Philadelphia, PA January 2-4, 2016 Abstracts and Biographies Krishanu Adhikari, University of Hyderabad “Indian Campus and the Problematics of Caste: A Study of Select Indian Campus Novels in English” Campus Fiction as a distinct subgenre of fiction rose into prominence in the West during 1950s, which following the words of Raymond Williams can be stated as a kind of emergent cultural form. In a similar vein, Indian academia has also contributed to the ‘palimpsestic’ growth of a similar kind of fiction, written in English on Indian campuses, since 1950s, which has hitherto remained unheeded in the existing body of criticism on Indian English Fiction. Unlike their western counterpart, Indian Campus Novels, since their inception, tend to depict a picture of the campus which actively participates in the formation of the constitutive narrative of the ‘political’ in larger socio-political order of post-independence India. This paper would attempt to study Srividya Natarajan’s No Onions Nor Garlic (2006) and M. K. Naik’s Corridors of Knowledge (2008), so as to probe how these two novels manifest two different discursive traces of approaches, concerning the deep rooted problematics of Indian Caste system in two different Indian university campuses, located in culturally/geographically two different spaces in post-independence India. While Natarajan questions the prevailing Brahminical hegemony in The Chennai University, M. K. Naik on the other hand highlights the slow downfall of Indian academia due to its over-inclusive nature.

Lack of knowledge and illiteracy have led people to respond the dynamics of social and cultural changes differently. Thus, various issues related to cultural illiteracy, cultural shock, and being trapped into misleading information in many areas, have become serious problem lately. That is why, this millennial is sometimes called as disruptive era, in which truth has always been questioned. Concerning this, the Faculty of Adab and Cultural Sciences UIN Sunan Kalijaga considers that it is necessary to hold an international seminar to accommodate and communicate the researches, problems and thoughts related to the significance of cultural literacy in the development of the science, knowledge and civilization from local to international level. Focusing on the four scientific fields as the core of the faculty, namely Arabic Language and Literature, History of Islamic Culture, Library Science and English Literature, this annual conference is expected to be a forum for scientific synergy, strengthening strategy from the four majors related to cultural literacy, language, history and information. The purpose of this activity is to give opportunity for the researchers and academicians not only disseminating their researches and thoughts in the fields of adab and cultural sciences, but also updating policies of the related areas.

  • The Nation and Its Burka Avenger
    The Nation and Its Burka Avenger, the ‘Other’ and its Malala Yusafzai: The Creation of a Female Muslim Archetype as the Site for Pakistani Nationalism Author(s): Miranda Brar Source: Prandium - The Journal of Historical Studies, Vol. 3, No. 1 (Fall, 2014). Published by: The Department of Historical Studies, University of Toronto Mississauga Stable URL: http://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/prandium/editor/submission/21847/ Prandium: The Journal of Historical Studies Vol. 3, No. 1, (2014) The Nation and Its Burka Avenger, the ‘Other’ and its Malala Yusafzai: The Creation of a Female Muslim Archetype as the Site for Pakistani Nationalism Miranda Brar1 Over the last decade, the global community has seen the emergence of a new faceless and desexualized Muslim female archetype. In world media, she often serves to embody a site for the contest of divergent politics of Islam and is represented differently depending on how and by whom the archetype is appropriated. In Pakistan, state-sponsored nationalist narratives in the 21st Century are pointedly opposed to US-hegemony in the region, while also opposing religious extremism. As Pakistan appropriates this archetype to form a unique conception of its identity, as expressed through domestic media, religious nationalism and gender are blurred into the same fixed category. In order to assess the impact of this Muslim female archetype in Pakistan’s current struggle for identity, it is first important to evaluate westernist discourse characterizing Muslim women in a particular way. Pakistani appropriation of the archetype is in response to a particular characterization of Muslim Pakistani women by the West, best exemplified by the romanticization of the Malala Yusafzai’s affliction in western media.

  • Burka Avenger and Representations of Muslim Girlhood
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 14, No 2 (2019) Veils and Vigilantes: Burka Avenger and Representations of Muslim Girlhood Shirin Nadira New York University Figure 1. Unicorn Black Productions, Burka Avenger Promotional Poster. Their World, theirworld.org/news/the-burka-avenger-putting-education-at-the-centre-of-debate-in- pakistan Upon awarding the Pakistani cartoon series Burka Avenger a Peabody Award in 2013, the Peabody committee created an online profile for the series praising its “deft handling of a deadly serious theme—the empowerment of women—in a part of the world where it has particular and timely resonance” (peabodyawards.com). By rescripting the burqa, typically associated with the worst excesses of gender inequality under Islam, as a crime-fighting superhero costume, Burka Avenger creates in Jiya/Burka Avenger a titular superheroine that is, in the committee’s words, “part Catwoman, part Muslim ideal.” The non-identity of the categories “Catwoman” and “Muslim ideal” seems obvious enough, but the unexpected apposition of the terms, possibly based on one of the series’ promotional images (see Figure 1), prompts a reflexive consideration of the knotted notions of gender and religious identity that might account for the writer’s juxtaposition of the two. What kind of whole is imagined to be the sum of these parts, and how does it contribute to a reimagination of women’s empowerment, specifically Muslim women’s empowerment, today? As an animated series targeted at children and produced in a country not exactly swimming in global cultural capital, Burka Avenger seems out of place in that year’s roster of Peabody Award winners, which also included hit television series House of Cards, Borgen, Scandal, and Orange is the New Black, as well as documentaries by Al-Jazeera, PBS, ESPN, HBO, and the New York Times.
