Event Description : 'Notes on a Scandal: Writing Women’s Film History Against an Absent Archive' a talk by Debashree Mukherjee, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University
The talk critically examines the historical figure of Bombay’s female film professional, approaching her as a manifestation of, and model for, the urban public woman in 1930s and 40s Bombay. Using scandal as a dense historiographic source, the talk looks at the specific cases of Naseem Banu, Devika Rani and Khorshed Homji.
