摘要

我分析了在阿富汗拍摄的两部印度电影——《胡达·加瓦》(1992)和《喀布尔快车》(2006)——以证明印度电影作为印度外交政策重新呈现(呈现和再呈现)的场所的重要性。因此，我确定了两个比喻。第一个比喻，表示呈现，涉及一种种族提喻，其中阿富汗人与巴坦人等同。第二个比喻，展示了再现，通过将敌人塔利班插入电影自我的道德世界，说明了印度对阿富汗外交政策的偏差-à-vis。我还讨论了印度电影的美学选择，以展示它们如何进一步增加批判性地缘政治的研究。

Re/presenting Afghans in Hindi cinema: the popular geopolitics of India-Afghanistan relations

ABSTRACT I analyse two Hindi movies shot in Afghanistan - Khuda Gawah (1992) and Kabul Express (2006) - to demonstrate the salience of Hindi cinema as a site where Indian foreign policies are re/presented (presented and re-presented). Accordingly, I have identified two tropes. The first trope, signifying presentation, relates to an ethnic synecdoche in which Afghans are equated with Pathans. The second trope, demonstrating re-presentation, illustrates a deviation vis-à-vis the Indian foreign policies on Afghanistan by way of inserting the enemy Taliban into the moral universe of the cinematic Self. I also discuss select aesthetics of Hindi cinema to show how they can further add to the study of critical geopolitics.
