Tóm tắt
Afrofuturism is an academic and popular discourse interrupting whitewashed imaginations about the future – a future in which racialized identities are a liability. Borrowing from Afrofuturism, desi-futurism is defined as the application of a desi lens to a futuristic artefact, and a critical perspective interrupting whitewashed imagi-nations of a technologized future with the experiences of the past-present to write desi versions of the past, present, and future. This essay will discuss desi-futurism in the context of the body, space, and time with Krrish 3 and other popular culture examples as artefacts.
Like Afrofuturism, desi-futurism disregards post-race speculations about the future, and departs from European Modernity that created the Cartesian body, linear time, and a white dominated space. The author insists desi-futurism is a tangent to Afrofuturism and not a deviation because these ethnic and racial imaginings collectively challenge European epistemologies that dictate minoritized identities.
