Cultural Citizenship in India: Politics, Power and Media
Book at lunchtime discussion. Cultural Citizenship If the nation is an imagined community constructed through discourse, then the feeling of being part of that nation - can only arise when citizens are empowered to enter the discourse and modify it. Linking political science and cultural studies to explore the mutually constitutive role of discourse and institutions, Cultural Citizenship in India argues that citizenship is an ongoing and evolving discursive project. Further, it studies the role of culture and different media in the process of citizen-making by taking postcolonial India as its case study.
