By focusing on performance, embodiment, and space, this course invites a thematic consideration of the region. The readings and films critically explore the relationship between politics and the body through the life, thought, and practices of Gandhi and Ambedkar; the partition of South Asia; cities, urban cultures, and the production of space; gender, sexuality, and postcolonialism; sports and culture; South Asian writing in English; space, performance, and history; youth culture and citizenship; and bodies and diasporas across and beyond the Indian Ocean world.
