Spatial Politics of Women in Adoor Gopalakrishnan‟s Films

Film narratives occur in unique and yet diverse spatial contexts. Notable among them are the socio-cultural spatial location within the filmic space. A number of scholars (Khatib,2004; Mennel,2010;de Lauretis,1984, Kostantarakos) have examined the spatial locations of narratives. The available research literature shows gaps in our understanding of the social production of space mediated by women in filmic spaces despite the works by Laura Mulvey and (1975) Theresa De Lauretis (1984). This study is an attept to understand the spatial politics of women in Adoor Gopalakrishnan‟s films employed with qualitative texual analysis.
