Abstract
This talk will explore some contemporary controversies in India relating to women and sexuality. Prof. Niranjana will analyse the arguments being made around the recent Delhi rape case, the Guwahati molestation incident, the Mangalore resort attack, (all 2012), the Pink Chaddi Campaign (2009), Slutwalk (2011) and other such events. While asking why the question of women’s sexuality is being foregrounded so strongly in public discussion in present-day India, she will discuss its pre-history through the debates in third-wave Indian feminism from the 1980s onwards. She will use material from blogs, TV, video and cinema to make her argument, and suggest throughout the talk the kind of comparisons that could be made with other Asian contexts.
All are welcome! Free admission.
