Migrant Form examines the works of James Joyce Salman Rushdie and Satyajit Ray for the anti-colonial arguments in their unsettled and unsettling aesthetics. Among the questions it engages are the following: What are the aesthetic moves through which art expresses its resistance to dominance and demands for conformity? How can we define anti-colonial aesthetics? How do these aesthetics manifest themselves in different media such as literature and film? Contending that Joyce inaugurates an anti-colonial «aesthetics of reconstitution» the book mines such aesthetics in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake to propose a formal model for postcolonialism. It also draws on that exercise to consider how Rushdie extends a play with reconfigured forms into an overt politics in two of his novels (Midnight¿s Children and The Satanic Verses). Turning its attention to film the book contests the common view of Ray as a gentle realist and examines a formal restlessness in Ray¿s earlier work Charulata (The Lonely Wife) before demonstrating how Ray stages his preference for restlessness in his final film Agantuk (The Stranger).
