Finding the thesis at Shodhganga from a Google Search
Finding the thesis at Shodhganga from a Google Search
by Muhammed Afzal P.
While searching online, we sometimes come across chapters from PhD dissertations uploaded in Shodhganga (the digital repository of theses submitted to Indian universities).
For example, when we search for
“migrant writing malayalam thesis”,
the second result might be a PDF.
But when we open the file, we cannot identify the thesis (of which this chapter is a part).
If the chapter is relevant for our research, we will need to use and cite it.Or we might be interested in reading other chapters of that thesis.
The pattern of URL of thesis in Shodhganga are as follows:
http://hdl.handle.net/10603/16891 or
https://sg.inflibnet.ac.in/handle/10603/16891
This is the pattern of URL of a chapter in Shodhganga https://sg.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/16891/9/10_chapter%205.pdf
Two methods can be adopted to locate the full thesis or its bibliographic information in Shodhganga:
Method 1
In the URL of the PDF change “bitstream”
to “handle”, and remove what follows “19658/”
Now you can see the full details of the thesis
Method 2
Copy the two set of “numbers” that follow “bitstream”
And place them after http://hdl.handle.net/
and press “Enter”.
Now you can see the full details of the thesis
This way too, we get to see the details of the thesis.
Was this tip useful? Do you know another method? Share your method as a comment.

Book Chapter / Representation of Men and Women in K. G. George’s Films
The function of cinema, according to Laura Mulvey, is to serve as a voyeuristic medium that encourages the audience to take pleasure from looking upon. Many Hollywood movies, especially the films of Hitchcock and Sternberg, were widely studied on the basis of this version of psychoanalytic theory.
Subsequently, new sources for revitalizing feminist film theory emerged through performance studies, new media studies, phenomenology, and Deleuzian philosophy. These are theoretical frameworks that move beyond the semiotic preoccupation with meaning, representation and interpretation.
The Deleuzian approach allows for a less negative outlook on desire, subjectivity, and identity; opening up readings of film as embodying many forms of desire and creating experiences of affirmation for the spectator (Smelik in Wiley Blackwell Encycl Gend Sex Stud: 1–5, 2016).
