Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Tamils written by Vijaya Ramaswamy, Jawaharlal Nehru University and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural heritage of the Tamils dates back two thousand years. As a language, Tamil has existed since the pre-Christian era, around the same time as the early classical languages Hebrew and Sankrit. The first book on Tamil grammar, the Tolkappiyam, was written around the fifth century BCE. Today, Tamil cuisine has captured the imagination of the vegetarian world, and Tamil cinema, with its heavy political allegories and opera style music, is popular across the globe. Not confined to their homeland of Tamil Nadu, the Tamils constitute a powerful diaspora in Sri Lanka (where they are fighting for their political rights), Singapore (where Tamil is one of the national languages), and Malaysia. The diaspora extends to places as far flung as the U.K., the U.S., and Australia. Tamil temples and cultural centers can be found everywhere from Pittsburgh to San Francisco and from Texas to Toronto. The Historical Dictionary of the Tamils presents a vivid picture of the Tamils' cultural and literary traditions, both the historic past and the vibrant present. This is done through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, black and white photos, maps, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries covering Tamil history from the megalithic age to present day and Tamil personalities, economics, literature, music, politics, and cinema. This one-volume reference is an excellent entry point into a deeper understanding of the cultural milieu of the Tamils.

Download or read book Modes of Philology in Medieval South India written by Whitney Cox and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philology was everywhere and nowhere in classical South Asia. While its civilizations possessed remarkably sophisticated tools and methods of textual analysis, interpretation, and transmission, they lacked any sense of a common disciplinary or intellectual project uniting these; indeed they lacked a word for ‘philology’ altogether. Arguing that such pseudepigraphical genres as the Sanskrit purāṇas and tantras incorporated modes of philological reading and writing, Cox demonstrates the ways in which the production of these works in turn motivated the invention of new kinds of śāstric scholarship. Combining close textual analysis with wider theoretical concerns, Cox traces this philological transformation in the works of the dramaturgist Śāradātanaya, the celebrated Vaiṣṇava poet-theologian Veṅkaṭanātha, and the maverick Śaiva mystic Maheśvarānanda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie gli articoli presentati al Congresso internazionale “Glimpses of Indian History and Art. Reflections on the Past. Perspectives for the Future” (Uno sguardo alla storia e all’arte dell’India. Riflessioni sul passato, prospettive per il futuro), tenuto alla Sapienza Università di Roma il 18 e 19 aprile 2011. Principale scopo del Congresso, che ha riunito eminenti studiosi indiani ed europei tra i quali alcuni di fama internazionale, è stato quello di tracciare un bilancio tra passato e presente della ricerca in due dei maggiori settori degli studi indologici, quello storico e quello artistico. Gli studi sulla storia e l’arte dell’India hanno finora seguito per lo più tendenze stabilite nella prima metà del secolo scorso. Nel corso di quei decenni, la terminologia e gli approcci adottati vennero modellati su forme dell’arte occidentale; inoltre, a differenza di quanto nel frattempo avveniva per l’arte occidentale, i dati storici e artistici furono assai raramente interpretati alla luce di metodiche interdisciplinari, con riferimento ai risultati della ricerca sociologica, politica e antropologica. Per di più, i testi canonici considerati, con rare eccezioni, erano quelli della tradizione sanscritistica. Oggi emergono orientamenti di maggiore maturità metodologica: antichi paradigmi e recenti stereotipi, talora dovuti a contingenti situazioni di ordine politico e sociale, vengono revocati in dubbio e sostituiti da rinnovati criteri d’indagine e nuove intuizioni interpretative, ai quali il presente volume intende recare testimonianza.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume looks at facets of cultural interactions between India and Thailand---two historically significant countries of the South East Asian region. For the first time a comprehensive discussion on historical and contemporary cultural interactions between Indian and Thailand has been attempted in this volume. Asianization has become an important contemporary concept and, in this context, understanding cultural exchange within Asia is an important exercise. The chapters in this volume include contributions from noted scholars based in India and Thailand on different areas of cultural exchange: from religion, to art, artefacts, clothing, music---especially Indian classical music, cuisine, and the contemporary use of shared civilizational tools in the cultural diplomacy of both countries. Written in a lucid and accessible language, the chapters in this insightful volume are of interest to academics and researchers of cultural studies, Asian studies, development studies, modern Asian history, policy makers and general readers.
