‘(Re)Telling the Bengal Famine of 1943: Towards a Fourth World’ Part of the panel titled ‘Urgent Hunger: Memory and Responsibility after Famines’
Sammanfattning
In this performance-presentation I read a film script that attempted to experiment with epistemologies and ontologies of expressions that emerge from the space of subalternity – especially in the context of the Bengal Famine . The script functioned as a collage – a piecing together of fragments from elided narratives/archives, fieldwork notes, poetry, contemporary realities and future imaginaries.
Beskrivning av projektet
In light of the general omission of subaltern questions, especially Dalits, in the literary and artistic representation of the Bengal Famine of 1943, my PhD in Artistic Research aims to further and experiment with epistemologies and ontologies of expressions that emerge from the space of subalternity, and investigate the possibilities and limits of it in film practices.
In this performance-presentation I read a film script. The script functioned as a collage – a piecing together of fragments from elided narratives/archives, fieldwork notes, poetry, contemporary realities and future imaginaries. The script wished to blur theory and practice and to shift geographies of reason and being to a Fourth World.
