Kashmir’s Necropolis: Literary, Cultural, and Visual Texts

Autor Amrita Ghosh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 dec 2023
Kashmir's Necropolis: New Literatures and Visual Texts is an interdisciplinary book that studies literary texts, film, photography, and art to understand the different forms of violence represented in the cultural productions from and on Kashmir. The author argues that selected texts present how the long conflict in the postcolonial nation-state transforms the Kashmiri body, the space, setting, the relationship between the subject and its natural world under different forms of violence. Each chapter showcases a form of representational and textual violence that emphasizes the shifts from biopolitical to necropolitical violence and also includes specific forms of violence such as epicolonialism, horrorism, and hauntings in Kashmir's landscape. The book also delves into how the concepts of agency, resistance, and resilience in these different texts necessitate new poetics of looking at Kashmir. The conflicted space of Kashmir has always been located within the politics of representation and this book investigates a problem in taxonomy within postcolonial discourses to articulate unique forms of violence in such a conflicted space.

Recenzii

Theoretically ambitious . Kashmir's Necropolis engages with broader discourse of critical Kashmir Studies scholarship and underscores challenges posed by the necropolitical regimes and focuses on how the native subjects develop strategies to overcome the loss and reclaim the agency through alegropolitics. This book opens up new modalities for seeing the conflict spaces like Kashmir and analyse the literary and cultural productions from/on Kashmir.
