While the process of representing the Partition experience through words and images began in the late 1940s, it is only in the last few decades that literary critics and film scholars have begun to analyse the work. The emerging critical scholarship on the Partition and its aftermath has deepened our understanding of the relationship between historical trauma, collective memory, and cultural processes, and this book provides critical readings of literary and cinematic texts on the impact of the Partition both in the Punjab and in Bengal. The collection assembles studies on Anglophone writings with those on the largely unexplored vernacular works, and those which have rarely found a place in discussions on the Partition. It looks at representations of women's experiences of gendered violence in the Partition riots, and how literary texts have filled in the lack of the 'human dimension' in Partition histories. The book goes on to highlight how the memory of the Partition is preserved, and how the creative arts' relation to public memory and its place within the public sphere has changed through time. Collectively, the essays present a nuanced understanding of how the experience of violence, displacement, and trauma shaped postcolonial societies and subjectivities in the Indian subcontinent. Mapping the diverse topographies of Partition-related uncertainties and covering both well-known and lesser-known texts on the Partition, this book will be a useful contribution to studies of South Asian History, Asian Literature and Asian Film"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Partition of India (1947) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353944 650 0 $a South Asian literature (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Partition, Territorial, in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94007541 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z South Asia $x History. 651 0 $a India $x In literature. $y Partition, 1947 $x In literature. 651 0 $a India $x In literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104409 651 0 $a Pakistan $x In literature. 651 0 $a India $x In motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85064958 651 0 $a Pakistan $x In motion pictures. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Partition, Territorial, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054186 650 7 $a South Asian literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127239 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a Pakistan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210275 651 7 $a South Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244520 648 7 $a 1947 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 $a Mehta, Rini Bhattacharya, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011027285 700 1 $a Mookerjea-Leonard, Debali, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2014064748 700 1 $a Burton, Antoinette M., $d 1961- $e author of foreword. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n94012664 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary South Asia series ; $v 93. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005090682 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111054454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FF0B59AF69E11E78A00251D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
