Der westliche Blick auf Indien

Exoticist approach Magisterial approach Curatorial approach

Amartya Sen; The Argumentative Indian


Exotist approach The wondrous aspects of India Different, strange


Magisterial approach Relates to the exercise of imperial power India as a subject territory India as „great scene of British action“

(James Mill)


Curatorial approach Noting, classifying and exhibiting diverse

aspects of Indian culture


Filmische Repräsentation Indiens

Gunga Din Indiana Jones Slumdog Millionaire


Kussverbot: Zensur “excessively passionate love scenes" "indelicate sexual situations" "scenes suggestive of immorality"


Kussverbot nationalist politics of culture kissing as a sign of westernness


Privat - Öffentlich the prohibition targets the representation of

the private


Kussverbot: sexual contract

not between the man and the women, who form the couple, but between the men, who all agree to recognize one another's right to a space of (despotic) sovereignty: the family and the woman who, within it, becomes the man's property.

It is this dual contract that alone produces the conditions of possibility of a modern state.

The very stability of the post-despotic state rests on the stability of the micro-despotism of the nuclear family


In Indian cinema (...) the couple is repeatedly reabsorbed into the patriarchal family and is committed to its maintenance.

The kiss that seas the Christian marriage and inaugurates a zone of privacy, thereby dissolving all other intermediate claims to authority except that of the state, is the very same kiss that is prohibited on the Indian screen, between Indian citizens.

The prohibition (…) regulates the public circulation of images as an obligation of the contract between new and traditional élites.
