Letting the Other in, Queering the Nation: Bollywood and the Mimicking Body

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Bombay’s film industry, Bollywood, is an arena that intensively transmits cultural products from one nationality to another; it is a mimicking arena that incessantly appropriates narratives of Western Culture, particularly from Hollywood. Hence its nick-name that contains the transcultural move back and forth between and Bombay/Mumbai, all the while retaining the ambivalent space positioned betwixt and between, and the unsteady cultural boundaries derived from the postcolonial situation.
