Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: श्रीकांत वर्मा पुरस्कार' और 'साहित्य अकादेमी पुरस्कार' से सम्मानित यह उपन्यास अलका सरावगी की पहली औपन्यासिक रचना थी। इस उपन्यास ने न सिर्फ उन्हें हिन्दी साहित्य-जगत का सितारा लेखक बना दिया बल्कि अब तक चली आ रही उपन्यास-परम्परा को भी एक नया मोड़ दिया। इसने कथा-लेखन की एक ठहरी और इकहरी शैली से ऊबे हिन्दी पाठक को एक ऐसी भाषा और कहन दी जिससे उसने अचानक अपने को समृद्ध अनुभव किया। एक मारवाड़ी परिवार की कई पीढ़ियों की दास्तान कहनेवाला यह उपन्यास शायद भाषा में उस दृष्टि को पिरोनेवाला पहला उपन्यास था जिसने नब्बे के दशक में देश में उदारीकरण के बाद जन्म लिया था। आजाद भारत में निर्मित सामाजिकता के प्रचलित पैमानों पर जीते मनुष्य की भीतरी अजनबीयत की पहचान से शुरू होती यह कथा अंग्रेजों द्वारा भारत में रेलवे लाने के शुरुआती दिनों से लेकर सन् 2000 तक के इतिहास का अवलोकन करती है। इसमें कोलकाता शहर का इतिहास भी पढ़ा जा सकता है, और मोटा-मोटी ढंग से भारत में सामाजिक-नैतिक मूल्यों के निर्माण और ध्वंस का भी। कहानी किशोर बाबू की है जो अपनी बाइपास सर्जरी के बाद दुनिया को बिलकुल ही अलग सिरे से देखने लगते हैं, वे किशोर बाबू जो जीवन-भर दक्षिणी कोलकाता के अभिजात समाज का हिस्सा रहे अचानक 'सड़कमापÓ बन जाते हैं, कोलकाता की अभद्र सड़कों पर भटकते दिखने लगते हैं और अपनी इसी यात्रा में अपने परिवार के पुरखों से लेकर अपनी तीन वर्षीय नातिन तक के समय को खंगाल देते हैं।

Book excerpt: This is a work of art. I have developed a new style of writing called Still Life Prose. still Life prose comes from Still Life painting and it's a depiction of objects using colorful epiphanies. My work is also a rewriting of the Philosophies of existentialism especially that of Camus and Sartre which negates and paints a dark picture of life. Life for the author is the celebration of meaning. The author has also developed new idioms for contemporary culture and society. The author also dissects his past, in a mode of critical irony. There are also many allusions made by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation through a rigorous analysis of selected women’s fiction ranging from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional contexts. Indian women’s writing across languages, texts, and contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.

Download or read book Revelry, Rivalry, and Longing for the Goddesses of Bengal written by Rachel Fell McDermott and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annually during the months of autumn, Bengal hosts three interlinked festivals to honor its most important goddesses: Durga, Kali, and Jagaddhatri. While each of these deities possesses a distinct iconography, myth, and character, they are all martial. Durga, Kali, and Jagaddhatri often demand blood sacrifice as part of their worship and offer material and spiritual benefits to their votaries. Richly represented in straw, clay, paint, and decoration, they are similarly displayed in elaborately festooned temples, thronged by thousands of admirers. The first book to recount the history of these festivals and their revelry, rivalry, and nostalgic power, this volume marks an unprecedented achievement in the mapping of a major public event. Rachel Fell McDermott describes the festivals' origins and growth under British rule. She identifies their iconographic conventions and carnivalesque qualities and their relationship to the fierce, Tantric sides of ritual practice. McDermott confronts controversies over the tradition of blood sacrifice and the status-seekers who compete for symbolic capital. Expanding her narrative, she takes readers beyond Bengal's borders to trace the transformation of the goddesses and their festivals across the world. McDermott's work underscores the role of holidays in cultural memory, specifically the Bengali evocation of an ideal, culturally rich past. Under the thrall of the goddess, the social, political, economic, and religious identity of Bengalis takes shape.

Download or read book Literary Cultures in History written by Sheldon Pollock and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-05-19 with total page 1104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grand synthesis of unprecedented scope, Literary Cultures in History is the first comprehensive history of the rich literary traditions of South Asia. Together these traditions are unmatched in their combination of antiquity, continuity, and multicultural complexity, and are a unique resource for understanding the development of language and imagination over time. In this unparalleled volume, an international team of renowned scholars considers fifteen South Asian literary traditions—including Hindi, Indian-English, Persian, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Urdu—in their full historical and cultural variety. The volume is united by a twofold theoretical aim: to understand South Asia by looking at it through the lens of its literary cultures and to rethink the practice of literary history by incorporating non-Western categories and processes. The questions these seventeen essays ask are accordingly broad, ranging from the character of cosmopolitan and vernacular traditions to the impact of colonialism and independence, indigenous literary and aesthetic theory, and modes of performance. A sophisticated assimilation of perspectives from experts in anthropology, political science, history, literary studies, and religion, the book makes a landmark contribution to historical cultural studies and to literary theory in addition to the new perspectives it offers on what literature has meant in South Asia.

Book excerpt: Women's stories in India have been handed down from generation to generation, enriched and embroidered along the way. Political change and the arrival of print culture meant that storytelling was pushed into the background. But in more recent times, these voices have once again come centre-stage - confident, varied and complex. Spanning half a century, this collection covers many languages and cultures, and reflects the vast and complex cultures of the country and its diaspora. It offers a view of the changes that have taken place, both in terms of the subjects women choose to write about and their preferred way of writing about these subjects. From established names such as Mahashveta Devi to the newer generation of young authors, such as Tishani Doshi, Katha brings to the reader a vivid array of voices.

Download or read book Home, Belonging and Memory in Migration written by Sadan Jha and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores ideas of home, belonging and memory in migration through the social realities of leaving and living. It discusses themes and issues such as locating migrant subjectivities and belonging; sociability and wellbeing; the making of a village; bondage and seasonality; dislocation and domestic labour; women and work; gender and religion; Bhojpuri folksongs; folk music; experience; and the city to analyse the social and cultural dynamics of internal migration in India in historical perspectives. Departing from the dominant understanding of migration as an aberration impelled by economic factors, the book focuses on the centrality of migration in the making of society. Based on case studies from an array of geo-cultural regions from across India, the volume views migrants as active agents with their own determinations of selfhood and location. Part of the series Migrations in South Asia, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of migration studies, refugee studies, gender studies, development studies, social work, political economy, social history, political studies, social and cultural anthropology, exclusion studies, sociology, and South Asian Studies.
