Exploring Psychoanalytic and Feminist Perspective in Ghare Baire with Ray’s Auteurship
Main Article Content
Abstract
Tagore and Ray, the most powerful creators with pen and camera in the history of Bangla literature and Bangla film respectively, are blended in a single creation, Ghare Baire (1984). Although the movie came sixty-eight years after the publication of the novel, palimpsestuous of the book is alive in the misogynistic definitions of love and moral codes of a female. Here, too, female gender identity is defined only as an ‗Other‘ in the ‗lack‘ of a patriarchal social system. This paper aims at re-reading the film Ghare Baire by Satyajit Ray from Psychoanalytic and Feminist perspectives of Freud, Lacan, Mykyta, Cixous, Beauvoir, and Butler. It also explores the film theory
of Mulvey and adaptation theory of Hutcheon.
