A prior publication related to this book titled “An ‘Accurate Imagination’: Place, Map and Archive as Spatial Objects of Film History” published in Lee Grieveson and Colin McCabe’s Empire and Film received the Society for Cinema and Media Studies award for best essay in an edited anthology. Winner of the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies Best Monograph Award (BAFTSS), the book has been notable for its definition and exploration of a “spatial” film historiography. Her second book, Where Histories Reside: India as Filmed Space (Duke University Press, August 2019) examines eight decades of films shot on location in India to show how attending to filmed space reveals alternative timelines of cinema. Jaikumar’s widely reviewed first book Cinema at the End of Empire: A Politics of Transition in Britain and India (Duke University Press, 2006) details the intertwined industrial, regulatory and aesthetic histories of British and Indian cinema during the late colonial period (1927-1947). Her current work is in the fields of environmental and elemental humanities, particular in relation to the Global South. A historian and theorist of film, she has written on colonial cinemas, postcolonial theory, South Asian and European commercial, art and non-theatrical films, comparative modernities and aesthetics in film, critical theories of film history, place and space in cinema, film and cultural geography, and transnational feminism.
