Book Synopsis REPRESENTATION OF INDIA IN SELECT NOVELS by : Dr. Himanshu Parmar
Download or read book REPRESENTATION OF INDIA IN SELECT NOVELS written by Dr. Himanshu Parmar and published by Horizon Books ( A Division of Ignited Minds Edutech P Ltd). This book was released on with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an attempt to analyze the construction of India by five authors in their seminal works of literature. The first of the five novels is A Passage to India by E. M. Forster published in 1924. Chronologically, it is followed by Midnight’s Children, the “Booker of Bookers” for the year 1993, published in 1981 by Salman Rushdie. The third one is The Great Indian Novel , modeled on the Great Indian Epic, The Mahabharata, published in 1989 by Shashi Tharoor. The fourth one belongs to the canon of Regional Literature and is composed by Kamleshwar. The original title is Kitne Pakistan published in 2000 and the English translation Partitions came in 2006. The book makes use of the text in Hindi for reference and quoting. There are two reasons for this: first, language is not merely a medium between the text and the reader, but also something that carries a ‘voice’. The use of Hindi by Kamleshwar has a bearing on the kind of di scourse bei ng generated, as di scussed l ater. Secondl y, language acts in a cultural context and hence the impact that it carries is properly highlighted only in the original language in which the work has been composed. A translated work is, at times, not able to convey the spirit behind the words. The quotes from the text have been given in Roman script. The last one taken is Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, published in 2006 and the winner of the “Man Booker Prize” in the same year.
Book Synopsis Narrating Cultural Encounter by : Arnab Chatterjee
Download or read book Narrating Cultural Encounter written by Arnab Chatterjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interrogates and historicises eighteenth-century British women writers’ responses to India through the novel and travel writing to bring out the polyvalent space arising out of their complex negotiation with the colonial discourse. Though British women enjoyed their privileged racial status as the utilisers of colonial riches, they articulated their voice of dissent when they faced the politics of subordination in their own society and identified them with the marginalised status of the colonised Indians. This brings out the complicity and critique of the colonial discourse of British women writers and foregrounds their ambivalent responses to the colonial project. This book provides detailed textual analysis of the works of Phebe Gibbes, Elizabeth Hamilton, Lady Morgan, Jemima Kindersley and Eliza Fay through critical insights from the idea of the Enlightenment, postcolonial theory and feminist thought. It also foregrounds new perspectives to colonial discourse vis-à-vis the representation of India by locating the dialogic strain within the British narratives about India.

Book excerpt: Within the pages of this book lies a captivating journey that delves into the origin and development of the English novel, the realm of Indian English Writing, and the profound literary contributions of the renowned author, Chaman Nahal. Nahal's insightful work sheds light on the rift that emerged due to the insulating attitudes of the ruling class, unravelling the impact on both sides of this colonial encounter. As the narrative unfolds, the book meticulously traces the gradual encroachment of materialism within society, leading to a gradual erosion of spirituality. The multifaceted themes explored within these pages paint a vivid tapestry of human emotions and experiences. Love, affirmation, vanity, absurdity, existential questions of life and death, and the haunting memories of a traumatic partition are intricately woven into the fabric of Nahal's narrative. Through his novels, Nahal imparts a powerful message, urging readers to embrace life in its entirety. From the joyous celebrations to the tumultuous adversities, Nahal reveals that life is worth embracing, even in the face of its most challenging moments. His words resonate with an affirmative psychological orientation, guiding readers to manage their emotions in a way that fosters a sense of dignity and forges a path filled with hope. Within the pages of this exceptional book, readers will find themselves captivated by Nahal's mastery of storytelling and his ability to craft characters that resonate deeply within the human psyche. It is a book that leaves an indelible mark on the reader's soul, a testament to the enduring power of words and their ability to illuminate the depths of the human experience.
Book Synopsis Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel by : Sangita Patil
Download or read book Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel written by Sangita Patil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel tests the theories of ecofeminism against the background of India’s often different perceptions of environmental problems, challenging the hegemony of Western culture in thinking about human problems. This book moves beyond a simple application of the concepts of ecofeminism, instead explaining the uniqueness of Indian novels as narratives of ecofeminism and how they can contribute to the development of the theory of ecofeminism. In examining a selection of novels, the author argues that Indian texts conceptualize the ecological crisis more as a human problem than as a gender problem. The book proposes that we should think of ecofeminism as ecohumanism instead, seeing human beings and nature as a part of a complex web. Novels analysed within the text include Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve (1954), Shivram Karanth’s Return to Earth (2002) and Na D’Souza’s Dweepa (2013). Ecofeminism and the Indian Novel will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecofeminism, ecocriticism, ecological feminism, environmental humanities, gender studies, ecological humanities, feminist studies and Indian literature.
Book Synopsis Ecological Footprints in Literature: An Excursion into Selected Nature Writings and Nature Novels by : Dr. Archana R. Kadiyan
Download or read book Ecological Footprints in Literature: An Excursion into Selected Nature Writings and Nature Novels written by Dr. Archana R. Kadiyan and published by Shineeks Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive view of the environmental discourses that are found in the literary representations of the natural world. The book presents an in-depth analysis of the symbolic manifestations of the outer world in various genres of literature such as nature novels and nature or ecological writings. It deeply captures the mutual interactions that occur between the human and the non-human world that tend to influence each other’s actions and processes. By exploring the ecocritical leanings and tracing all the phases of Anthropocene, the book takes its readers for a deep excursion into the beauteous, dynamic, natural, and overtly spiritual world of Nature as exhibited in the writings such as Thoreau’s Walden, Khushwant Singh’s Nature Watch, and Starhawk’s The Earth Path which is contrasted against the eco-catastrophic world of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. An insightful and analytical journey into the world of more unique portrayals of the ecological world that tend to strike a balance between two distinct worlds: the real and the imaginative, the spiritual and the material as well as the natural and the man-made (as reflected in the nature novels: George Eliot’s Mill on the Floss, Khushwant Singh’s I Shall not Hear the Nightingale, Starhawk’s Fifth Sacred Thing, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia: A Novel. The book, thus, with its underpinning wisdom will be an interesting and more enlightening read for the critics, academicians, and researchers.

Book Synopsis Traces of India by : Maria Antonella Pelizzari
Download or read book Traces of India written by Maria Antonella Pelizzari and published by Montréal : Canadian Centre for Architecture. This book was released on 2003 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the different cultural roles played by photographs of Indian architecture from the latter half of the nineteenth century, an inquiry stretching from their pre-history to their migration into book illustrations, calendar art, and religious imagery. Beyond the apparent purposes of these images - as picturesque views, scientific records of an architectural past, political memorials, travel mementos, textbook vignettes - deeper considerations influenced the way their makers worked in selecting, framing, composing, and populating their representations. Shaping the viewer's thinking about what they represented, these images remain enduring records of a way of seeing, of minds as well as monuments, and exist today as artefacts of the visual culture of colonialism. Twelve essays from scholars working in several disciplines (history, anthropology, art history, and the history of photography) show how photographs of architecture reveal the inescapable ways in which the practice of image making is aligned with the purposes of power, the presumptions accompanying the encounter with strangeness, the internal order of the colonial and the scientific mind, and even our metaphysical dispositions toward the world.
Book Synopsis Close Encounters of the Invasive Kind by : Sarah Seymore
Download or read book Close Encounters of the Invasive Kind written by Sarah Seymore and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the breakthrough of postcolonial studies, British science-fiction authors already saw the opportunity to discuss political and ethical issues of imperialism by projecting human history and behavior onto the alien 'Other.' In this thesis, the case studies of 15 novels of alien-encounter science fiction illuminate the treatment of colonial and postcolonial concepts - such as colonialism, neo-colonialism, Empire, paternalism, hybridity, mimicry and science and technology - as a means of conquest and resistance. The analysis also shows that the Empire is still a vital background for British science fiction. Thesis. (Series: Anglistik / Amerikanistik; English / American Studies - Vol. 35)
Book Synopsis The Great Indian Novel by : Shashi Tharoor
Download or read book The Great Indian Novel written by Shashi Tharoor and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this award-winning novel, Tharoor has masterfully recast the two-thousand-year-old epic, The Mahabharata, with fictional but highly recognizable events and characters from twentieth-century Indian politics. Nothing is sacred in this deliciously irreverent, witty, and deeply intelligent retelling of modern Indian history and the ancient Indian epic The Mahabharata. Alternately outrageous and instructive, hilarious and moving, it is a dazzling tapestry of prose and verse that satirically, but also poignantly, chronicles the struggle for Indian freedom and independence.
Book Synopsis Romantic Representations of British India by : Michael J Franklin
Download or read book Romantic Representations of British India written by Michael J Franklin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael J. Franklin's Romantic Representations of British India is a timely study of the impact of Orientalist knowledge upon British culture during the Romantic period. The subject of the book is not so much India, but the British cultural understanding of India, particularly between 1750 and 1850. Franklin opens up new areas of investigation in Romantic-period culture, as those texts previously located in the ghetto of ‘Anglo-Indian writing’ are restored to a central place in the wider field of Romanticism. The essays within this collection cover a wide range of topics and are written by an impressive troupe of contributors including P.J. Marshall, Anne Mellor, and Nigel Leask. Students and academics involved with literary studies and history will find this book extremely useful, though musicologists and historians of science and of religion will also make good use of the book, as will those interested in questions of gender, race, and colonialism.

Book Synopsis Personal and National Destinies in Independent India by : Rositta Joseph Valiyamattam
Download or read book Personal and National Destinies in Independent India written by Rositta Joseph Valiyamattam and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal and National Destinies in Independent India is an innovative analysis of the interface between individual lives and national history, between citizen and state in modern India, as reflected in contemporary fiction. It critiques the selected works of a host of distinguished Indian English novelists such as Gurcharan Das, Arun Joshi, Rohinton Mistry, Arundhati Roy, Meher Pestonji, Kiran Desai, Vikas Swarup, David Davidar, Aravind Adiga, Manjula Padmanabhan and Tarun Tejpal. The author offers a new interpretation of twelve major novels with reference to the enormous framework of nearly seventy years of the history and politics, culture and economy of independent India. This is a study of fiction that re-writes the grand Indian narrative from a genuine, subaltern point of view and pays tribute to the heroism of ordinary Indians in times of extraordinary transformation. In these times of conflict and disparity which threaten democratic values, these novelists advocate an inclusive and humane India with a strong moral core instead of aggressive or elitist nationalism. They represent an era of painful introspection, an attempt to keep the soul of the nation alive. This unique project would be of interest to students and scholars of Literature, Political Science and History, especially Post-colonial studies. The vast scope of the time period, geographical expanse, social groups, writers and works covered here makes the work comprehensive and contemporary; very few such works on recent Indian history and fiction exist as of now.

Book Synopsis Re-Orientalism and South Asian Identity Politics by : Lisa Lau
Download or read book Re-Orientalism and South Asian Identity Politics written by Lisa Lau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orientalism refers to the imitation of aspects of Eastern cultures in the West, and was devised in order to have authority over the Orient. The concept of Re-Orientalism maintains the divide between the Orient and the West. However, where Orientalism is based on how the West constructs the East, Re-Orientalism is grounded on how the cultural East comes to terms with an orientalised East. This book explores various new forms, objects and modes of circulation that sustain this renovated form of Orientalism in South Asian culture. The contributors identify and engage with recent debates about postcolonial South Asian identity politics, discussing a range of different texts and films such as The White Tiger, Bride & Prejudice and Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. Providing new theoretical insights from the areas of literature, film studies and cultural and discourse analysis, this book is an stimulating read for students and scholars interested in South Asian culture, postcolonial studies and identity politics.
