Related interests on contemporary art and biopolitics in South-East Asia, legacies of the twentieth-century Anglophonic realist novel on the subcontinent, and art after the liberalisation of the Indian economy considered, especially, as a response to civic violence under the current dispensation of far-right supremacism have appeared as book chapters and articles in journals including boundary 2, Theory, Culture and Society, Political Culture, The European Legacy and The Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy.
