DESCRIPTION:The brutal unfolding of the violent conflict in Kashmir\; its 
 representation and reportage has reconfigured the discursive imagination a
 round the landscape and its people. While images of the picturesque landsc
 ape have circulated widely\, the inhabitants of Kashmir have been strangel
 y missing. Bombay cinema has for the longest time\, privileged the stunnin
 g landscape of Kashmir while emptying it of its inhabitants. At the cusp o
 f the 21st century\, the missing inhabitants return as militants to haunt 
 the imagination of Bombay cinema catalyzing thereby far-reaching formalist
  and narrative shifts while at the same time\, producing a force field of 
 powerful affects. The spectre of a `resistant’ Kashmir\, this presentati
 on will argue\, reanimates the cinematic image by inaugurating a `new’ c
 inema of action\, melodrama\, sensation and spectacular star bodies.
