In Where Histories Reside Priya Jaikumar examines eight decades of
films shot on location in India to show how attending to filmed
space reveals alternative timelines and histories of cinema. In
this bold "spatial" film historiography, Jaikumar outlines factors
that shape India's filmed space, from state bureaucracies and
commercial infrastructures to aesthetic styles and neoliberal
policies. Whether discussing how educational shorts from Britain
and India transform natural landscapes into instructional lessons
or how Jean Renoir's The River (1951) presents a universal human
condition through the particularities of place, Jaikumar
demonstrates that the history of filming a location has always been
a history of competing assumptions, experiences, practices, and
representational regimes. In so doing, she reveals that addressing
the persistent question of "what is cinema?" must account for an
aesthetics and politics of space.
