These cultural encounters offer the opportunity both for inner reflection upon the nation in which the protagonists travel. Such is the case of the Whitman brothers in The Darjeeling Limited (2007, Wes Anderson), who embark on a journey in India, seeking spiritual enlightenment from the problems of the past. The confrontation with the foreign Other will not only put into perspective a changed notion of the Indian nation but also their true purpose in life. Based upon the idea of the transformative power of journeys, and considering The Darjeeling Limited as a road movie, this article analyzes the brothers' awakening as they travel deeper into the Indian landscape to emerge with a renewed sense of selfZgodbe ceste so pomembni kulturni objekti, ki ˝nudijo pripraven prostor za raziskovanje˝ (Cohan and Hark 1997, 2) raznolikih krajin in tako prispevajo k srečevanju potujočega s samim seboj ali z Drugim. Takšna kulturna srečevanja so priložnost za notranjo refleksijo o narodih, v katerih se protagonisti gibajo. Tak je tudi primer bratov Whitman v The Darjeeling Limited (2007, Wes Anderson), ki se odpravijo na popotovanje po Indiji, med katerim iščejo duhovno razsvetljenje in se soočajo s svojo preteklostjo. Spopad s tujim Drugim jim na novo osmisli tako predstave o Indijcih kot življenjske cilje. Članek z vidika transformacijske moči popotovanj in prek analize filma The Darjeeling Limited kot filma ceste proučuje prebujenje bratov, ki na poti do samospoznanja potujejo vse globlje v indijsko krajinoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
