Swati Arora

In this article Swati Arora analyzes a contemporary Indian feminist performance, Thoda Dhyaan Se (A Little Carefully, 2013), by framing it in the spatial ecosystem of the city of Delhi and exploring its engagement with feminist discourse and the national imaginary of India. It highlights the workings of the cultural economy of the city, which is defined by its spatial contours as well as the privileges of caste, class, sexuality, and ethnicity, and at the same time explores the heterogeneous nature of the country's feminist movement through an intersectional perspective. Swati Arora argues that the concerns raised by Thoda Dhyaan Se are limited to urban, middle-class, and upper-caste women and overlook the oppressive realities of women from non-urban, lower-class, and lower-caste backgrounds. With conversations around gender focused through campaigns like #MeToo and #TImesUp, it is important to contextualize the voices that are articulated and those that are excluded. Swati Arora is an Andrew W. Mellon postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Humanities Research, University of the Western Cape. Her work exists at the intersections of theatre and performance, feminist theory, critical urban studies, post/de-colonial theory, and visual cultures. She completed her PhD at the University of Exeter and is a coconvenor of the International Federation of Theatre Research.

小心一点:印度的女性、暴力和表演

在这篇文章中,斯瓦蒂·阿罗拉分析了当代印度女权主义的表现,Thoda Dhyaan Se(小心一点, 2013),通过将其置于德里市的空间生态系统中,并探索其与女权主义话语和印度国家想象的互动。它突出了由其空间轮廓以及种姓、阶级、性和种族特权定义的城市文化经济的运作方式,同时通过一个交叉视角。Swati Arora 认为,Thoda Dhyaan Se仅限于城市、中产阶级和上层种姓妇女,而忽视了来自非城市、下层阶级和低种姓背景的妇女的压迫现实。通过#MeToo 和#TImesUp 等活动围绕性别进行对话,将明确表达的声音和被排除在外的声音背景化很重要。Swati Arora 是西开普大学人文研究中心的 Andrew W. Mellon 博士后研究员。她的作品存在于戏剧和表演、女权主义理论、批判性城市研究、后/去殖民主义理论和视觉文化的交叉领域。她在埃克塞特大学完成了博士学位,并且是国际戏剧研究联合会的联合召集人。
