Overview:
This presentation has been part of recently concluded international ‘Foucault Congress’, Kolkata Chapter, focussing on Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality in the context of South Asia. In this presentation with reference to Jean-Luc Godard’s post-cinematic work ‘Film Socialisme’, some gestures of subjectivity are being explored, which can initiate some introspection into the possibility of new subjectivities in South Asia as well, to escape/resist the overwhelming automata of governmentality in South Asian conditions.
