Grants for Film Project by Jürgen Schaflechner and Sjoerd van Tuinen

Dr. Jürgen Schaflechner (Department of Modern South Asian Languages and Literatures, SAI) and Sjoerd van Tuinen (University of Rotterdam) have received a special grant from Princeton University's Fung Global Network Fund to produce a film project on the topic of the politics of resentment. This essayistic film will portray the wide spread phenomenon of emotions of resentment in current political climates. It asks if feelings of resentment can lead to movements of justice and equality. The film features interviews with scholars such as Wendy Brown, Didier Fassin, Pankaj Mishra, Oliver Marchart, Alexander Nehamas and Gyan Prakash.
