CEU eTD Collection Indigenist mobilization: ‘Identity’ versus ‘class’ after the Kerala model of development? i Abstract ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the recent rise of "adivasi" (indigenous/tribal) identity politics in the South Indian state of Kerala. It discusses the complex historical baggage and the political risks attached to the notion of "indigeneity" in Kerala and poses the question why despite its draw- backs, a notion of indigenous belonging came to replace the discourse of class as the primary framework through which adivasi workers now struggle for their rights. The thesis answers this question through an analysis of two inter-linked processes: firstly, the cyclical social movement dynamics of increasing disillusionment with - and distantiation from - the class-based platforms that led earlier struggles for emancipation but could not, once in government, structurally alter existing relations of power.

  • Une Femme Douce by Robert Bresson: Hamlet Or Anti-Cinematography
    Une femme douce by Robert Bresson: Hamlet or Anti-Cinematography Gaëlle GINESTET Why does a director choose to include the performance of a play in a lm? e obvious answer is because he/she has a particular fondness for the play or its author, or because it throws light on the story that he/she is telling. Who could imagine that a director would use precious time to shoot a play in order to criticize it or the way it is acted? Yet that is pre- cisely what Robert Bresson does in Une femme douce (!"#"), his ninth feature lm, the rst he shot in colour. Just a$er the opening credits, the lm starts with the suicide of a young woman who jumps from a balcony. Bresson pursues the narrative from her husband’s point of view. Standing next to her corpse, in the company of their maid, he reminisces about their rst meetings and short-lived marriage, trying to make sense of her act. Bresson chooses to show the couple at the theatre, watching the end of a performance of Hamlet , just as the rst tensions have appeared between them, the husband suspecting his wife of being unfaithful. Even if the excerpt from Hamlet is restricted to ve minutes towards the middle of Une femme douce , the play, I would suggest, irradiates the lm, since it is impossible not to notice some similarities between both works, especially between the characters of Ophelia and the “gentle woman” !. A$er exploring those thematic connexions, I shall discuss how Bresson’s idiosyncratic, aesthetic concept of “cinematography” underlies 1.
