Dastavezi | the Audio-Visual South Asia

About the Journal

Dastavezi is an international peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal, which seeks to reposition film as a central mode of knowing and thinking about South Asia. It is the first peer-reviewed journal connecting scholarly research from and about South Asia with filmic practices.

Dastavezi welcomes submissions that connect academic texts and audio-visual material in creative ways to make a conceptual or empirical contribution to scholarship on South Asia. Contributions can either address existing discussions in new ways through audio-visual productions or introduce new themes that have thus far been overlooked in the field of South Asian studies, and which may be better addressed through an audio-visual approach.

In this 6th edition of Dastavezi, we feature four contributions that explore artistic practice, graphic novels, the form of the political documentary, and pilgrimage in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This edition primarily features photo essays and media-reflexive pieces that utilize visuals to convey their messages. Additionally, our sixth edition includes a multimodal piece which combines auditory, photographic, and textual forms of presentation.
