Abstract

Utilizing feminist film theory, critical reviews, and viewer responses, this article examines visual representations of transgressive sexuality in two diasporic Indian women's films: Kamasutra: A Tale of Love by Mira Nair, and Fire by Deepa Mehta. The article draws from research on ancient discourses on sexuality in India to argue that contemporary constructions of women's sexuality in South Asia are not devoid of patriarchal and fundamentalist cultural politics of representation.

摘要

本文运用女性主义电影理论、影评及观众反馈，审视了两部流散印度女性电影中越界性取向的视觉呈现：米拉·奈尔执导的《爱欲奇谭》以及迪帕·梅塔执导的《烈火恩仇》。本文借鉴了对印度古代性取向话语的研究，认为南亚当代女性性取向的建构并非没有父权制和原教旨主义的文化表征政治。
