Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: &Lsquo;Well-Balanced, Informative And Highly Readable&Rsquo;&Mdash;Amartya Sen India: From Midnight To The Millennium And Beyond Is An Eloquent Argument For The Importance Of India To The Future Of The Industrialized World. Shashi Tharoor Shows Compellingly That India Stands At The Intersection Of The Most Significant Questions Facing The World Today. If Democracy Leads To Inefficient Political Infighting, Should It Be Sacrificed In The Interest Of Economic Well-Being? Does Religious Fundamentalism Provide A Way For Countries In The Developing World To Assert Their Identity In The Face Of Western Hegemony, Or Is There A Case For Pluralism And Diversity Amid Cultural And Religious Traditions? Does The Entry Of Western Consumer Goods Threaten A Country&Rsquo;S Economic Self-Sufficiency, And Is Protectionism The Only Guarantee Of Independence? The Answers To Such Questions Will Determine What The Nature Of Our World Is In The Twenty-First Century. And Since Indians Account For Almost One-Sixth Of The World&Rsquo;S Population Today, Their Choices Will Resonate Throughout The Globe. Shashi Tharoor Deals With This Vast Theme In A Work Of Remarkable Depth And Startling Originality, Combining Elements Of Political Scholarship, Personal Reflection, Memoir, Fiction, And Polemic, All Illuminated In Vivid And Compelling Prose.

Download or read book Norito written by Donald L. Philippi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the only English translation of the prayers of Japan's indigenous religious tradition, Shinto. These prayers, norito, are works of religious literature that are basic to our understanding of Japanese religious history. Locating Donald Philippi as one of a small number of scholars who have developed a perceptive approach to the problem of "hermeneutical distance" in dealing with ancient or foreign texts, Joseph M. Kitagawa recalls Mircea Eliade's observation that "most of the time [our] encounters and comparisons with non-Western cultures have not made all the `strangeness' of these cultures evident. . . . We may say that the Western world has not yet, or not generally, met with authentic representatives of the `real' non-Western traditions." Composed in the stately ritual language of the ancient Japanese and presented as a "performing text," these prayers are, Kitagawa tells us, "one of the authentic foreign representatives in Eliade's sense." In the preface Kitagawa elucidates their significance, discusses Philippi's methods of encountering the "strangeness" of Japan, and comments astutely on aspects of the encounter of East and West.

Download or read book A Dynamic Modernity written by Seema Bhaduri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares selected Indian novels with their Western models, to trace the differences appearing in them to the traditions of thought and understanding that had influenced the respective world-views. Beginning with a survey of the rise of modernity in India, this book presents a comparative review of Western and Indian ontological interpretations of the major themes governing these novels. These novels in Bengali, Hindi and English experiment with the form of the Western psychological novel to portray the individual’s private thoughts and experiences realistically. They represent that body of fiction which dwells on the different aspects of the rise of the modernist Indian temperament under British influence. The novels map nearly half a century of the individual’s struggle for meaning and freedom in a society trapped between history, tradition and westernization. Using free translations, this book illustrates the novelists’ methods of improvisation with Western themes, styles and techniques to portray the Indian understanding of selfhood, art, and reality. The concluding comparative poetics discusses in a comparative perspective, the poetic principles underlying the novelists’ assimilation, comparison, and parody of the Western texts. A mutual comparison of the Indian novels illustrates the diversity that characterizes the cross-cultural experience of Indian modernity. Reviews: "A Dynamic Modernity: Adaptation and Parody in Six Twentieth Century Indian Novels is a seminal contribution to the study of literary reception and transformation in the field of comparative literary studies in India. It engages with the stream-of-consciousness novels in Western and Indian literatures, and the choice of the genre becomes important as it allows the reader to rethink questions of modernism, the philosophy of the self in the cultures concerned, representation and realism, and diffferences embedded in concepts of aesthetics in different cultures." - Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta Former Professor of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University "A welcome and useful study, competently handled, offering analysis of some of the most outstanding fiction writers." - G. N. Devy
