Revenge, justice, and betrayal in Shakespeare\u2019s play and in the history of the politically-disputed Kashmir region arise as core topics in this discussion about the Hindi film Haider between Priya Jaikumar (USC) and Bhaskar Sarkar (UC-Santa Barbara.) The two professors interrogate and celebrate the film and play\u2019s ability to combine local cultural specificity and popular accessibility. Arguing Haider offers new understandings of the character of Hamlet, the pair also question the concepts of \u201cthe original\u201d and \u201cthe derivative.\u201d\n Series: "Carsey-Wolf Center" [Humanities] [Show ID: 33500]
