Sangita Gopal (Assistant Professor)
Statement
The co-edited volume Global Bollywood - argues that the uniqueness, mobility and resonance of Hindi cinema can be attributed to the transformative potential of the song-dance sequence. My monograph - Post-Nuptial Contracts turns to the Anglophone novel and vernacular cinema to investigate how questions of citizenship and national belonging are negotiated within the framework of conjugality.
