Abstract
This paper explores the cinematic representation of Hijrasi in the Malayalam film Ardhanaari (Light Falls on an Obscure World, 2012), directed by Santhosh Souparnika. Apart from the usual male/female binary opposition, this film is concerned in particular with the notion of Third Gender as a discursive site of intervention. The cultural discourses inherent to this concept are central to this paper.
