Abstract

Contemporary women’s Hindi films play a critical role in constructing feminine subjective I-dentity by contesting discursive models rendering current feminism to be “it’s about me!”. Appropriation of this postfeminist framework builds upon the semiotic understanding of the process in which the reflective use of dress and dressing-up has been seminal in constructing self-oriented choices and corporeal practices. Therefore, dress leads to the possibility of exploring significant scope in disentangling the contentious post-feminist developments in emergent women’s Hindi films. With a locus on the post-feminist framework as posited by Rosalind Gill, Michele M Lazar, Angela McRobbie, and the nuanced semiotic scaffolding of use of dress as hypothesized by Roland Barthes, Malcolm Bernard, Joanne Entwistle, et al., this article examines select women’s Hindi films like Margarita With A Straw by Shonali Bose, Lipstick Under My Burkha by Alankrita Shrivastava and Aisha by Rajshree Ojha to forward embryonic post-feminist approaches.

这是关于我的！：Un（dress）ing印地语Celluloid女性主观身份
