The reproduction of the duality of masculinity and femininity does not occur in isolation; it works in tandem with the rhetoric of caste, religion and nation. The articles in this collection explore these intertwined sites of power and the subjective opposition that pervades society and the arts, to challenge them. Mathorubagan (the novel), Pariyerum Perumal (the film), caste-related violence, cow politics, social and cultural events, literature and art, are some of the topics of discussion in this searing work of non-fiction.
