- W4311900531 abstract "The cataclysmic event of the Partition of India at the moment of its independence resulted in one of the largest forced migrations in human history. Bodies and hearts were severed, homes lost, as millions succumbed to the ensuing violence. Thousands of women, in particular, became victims of various forms of sexual violence. The Partition, thus, produced a generation of traumatised survivors who carried the scars on their bodies, minds or both. Indeed, the metaphor of madness has often been employed when referring to the event. Symptomatic of this metaphorical understanding of Partition as incomprehensible, the official narratives of independence – and of Partition – assumed a convenient relation of silence to the violence and accompanying trauma. Situated in this context of historical silencing of trauma, the proposed chapter attempts to study the narration of trauma resulting from the Partition by a comparison and contrast of survivor testimonies with literary and cinematic representations. The chapter draws upon a sample of testimonies from the north and north-western parts of India, analysing them alongside Amrita Pritam’s magnum opus Pinjar and its film adaptation (2003) of the same name, directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. The authors argue that by virtue of the shared element of emplotment, the three modes of narration – survivor accounts, fiction and cinema – function as forms of testimony and that a comparative study of their themes and narrative devices can yield significant insights into the nature of Partition trauma and the politics of their narration. Finally, drawing upon the concepts of historical and structural trauma, the chapter argues that the trauma resulting from the experience of the historical event of Partition, while unique in its own right, nonetheless harks back to the more insidious structures of patriarchy." @default.
