In this paper I analyse documentary filmmaker Sanjay Kak’smodes of address in his most recent three films which are often knownas the “Series on Indian Democracy”. I will argue that he uses a “skepticalpolitical mimetic” voice that articulates a politics of affect distancedby a skeptical ethics of representation via formalist devices. I am particularlyinterested in the way this voice is intersecting with empiricalaudiences and the imagination of publics. |
