Representations: Indian Independence in Canadian Newspapers of 1947

Beschreibung

"Representations" is a postcolonial study of the discursive practice of self/other in the media. It is a Historical Geography research of ('soft' and 'hard') news, and political cartoons in English-Canadian newspapers. Analyzing both 'liberal' and 'conservative' views regarding Britain's decision to leave India along with the subject of India's independence as depicted in images, Canadian newspapers revealed their complicated relationship with Britain. This multi-layered understanding of the triadic relationship between Canada, Britain, and India in 1947 is 'represented' through narrative and visual discourse.
