In this talk, Dr. Francesca Chubb-Confer, Visiting Assistant Professor at Oberlin College, will focus on the complicated dynamics between Muslim and Hindu communities in India focusing on the language of love in two early modern “Hindu” and “Muslim” texts, contemporary Bollywood cinema and religious nationalism. With the rise of Hindu nationalism and anti-Muslim rhetoric in India, this talk helps complicate the categories "Hindu" and "Muslim" and their histories. The talk will think through the complex and intersecting nature of religion, literature, and the power to include or exclude.
Open to the public.
