Diaspora and Cultural Negotiations: The Films of Gurinder Chadha
explores critical and theoretical conceptualizations of identity,
globalization, intersectionality, and diaspora, among other topics,
in the films of Gurinder Chadha. This book argues that Chadha's
work offers relevant and sensitive portrayals of the members of the
diaspora community that make these films of contemporary and
enduring value, highlighting their challenges in hybridization and
acculturation in the societies they migrate to and the historical
and political exigencies that influence their everyday existence.
Contributors analyze Chadha's films in the context of cultural
milieus including multiculturalism, narration and representation,
ethnicity, literary adaptation, and intercultural negotiations,
while also exploring Chadha's own role as an auteur. Scholars of
film studies, Indian cinema, diaspora studies, sociology, and
cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.
The essays collected in A Rich Field Full of Pleasant Surprises
have been written by a number of lecturers from different Spanish
universities in order to offer a picture of the current state of
affairs in English Studies, covering the areas of Contemporary
Literature, Postcolonial Studies, Feminist and Gender Studies,
Globalization and Media, Film, Music, and Crime Fiction, among
others. The essays comprised in this volume tackle theoretical
issues as well as practical cases, showing the vitality and
scholarly rigour of all kinds of literary and cultural
manifestations worldwide, particularly within a European framework.
The title of the book gives expression to the innovative and
inspiring teaching of Professor Socorro Suarez Lafuente, to whom
the collection is dedicated.
