During the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Kashmir-a
Muslim-majority area ruled by a Hindu maharaja-became a hotly
disputed territory. Divided between India and Pakistan, the region
has been the focus of international wars and the theater of
political and military struggles for self-determination. The result
has been great human suffering within the state, with political
implications extending globally. Imagining Kashmir examines
cinematic and literary imaginings of the Kashmir region's conflicts
and diverse citizenship, analyzing a wide range of narratives from
writers and directors such as Salman Rushdie, Bharat Wakhlu, Mani
Ratnam, and Mirza Waheed in conjunction with research in
psychology, cognitive science, and social neuroscience. In this
innovative study, Patrick Colm Hogan's historical and cultural
analysis of Kashmir advances theories of narrative, colonialism,
and their corresponding ideologies in relation to the cognitive and
affective operations of identity. Hogan considers how narrative
organizes people's understanding of, and emotions about, real
political situations and the ways in which such situations in turn
influence cultural narratives, not only in Kashmir but around the
world.
