This chapter uses its author’s engagement with Pankaj Rishi Kumar’s 2019 documentary, Janani’s Juliet, to consider multiple processes of translation and mediation. Drawing upon disability justice and anti-colonial scholarship, the chapter asks what this film does with and through Shakespeare, and with and through the play whose rehearsals it follows: Chandala, Impure, a Tamil adaptation of Romeo and Juliet by the Puducherry-based Indianostrum theatre group. With this Tamil-language play currently only “available” as mediated through a documentary aimed at a non-Tamil audience, the chapter uses it to examine broader questions about accessibility and identity that extend to the author’s own cultural and linguistic heritage.

摘要

This chapter uses its author’s engagement with Pankaj Rishi Kumar’s 2019 documentary, Janani’s Juliet, to consider multiple processes of translation and mediation. Drawing upon disability justice and anti-colonial scholarship, the chapter asks what this film does with and through Shakespeare, and with and through the play whose rehearsals it follows: Chandala, Impure, a Tamil adaptation of Romeo and Juliet by the Puducherry-based Indianostrum theatre group. With this Tamil-language play currently only “available” as mediated through a documentary aimed at a non-Tamil audience, the chapter uses it to examine broader questions about accessibility and identity that extend to the author’s own cultural and linguistic heritage.
