Book excerpt: Premanand Gajvee tells the story of a little-known sect of brahmans known as kirwants whose religious duty is to perform the last rites at cremations. Marginalized by the entire community in general, and the brahmans in particular, kirwants are treated like polluting outcastes. Based on personal experience that occurred as recently as the 1980s, this play, which deals savagely with a subject carefully kept under wraps, is a severe indictment of an inhuman social system. Kirwant created a sensation in Marathi theatre scene when it was first produced. One of the greatest actors of our theatre, Sreeram Lagoo, taking up the cudgels for a relatively unknown playwright, offered to perform the lead role of the kirwant Siddheshwarshastri. The text is supplemented with a preface by the playwright and a director s note by Shreeram Lagoo. Award-winning playwright, Premanand Gajvee is one of the younger playwrights writing in Marathi today. Several of his plays have been included as texts in undergraduate and postgraduate literature courses in various universities of Maharashtra. M. D. Hatkanangalekar, who has translated and introduced this play, is a leading literary critic and translator, who has taught English at Willingdon College, Sangli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-genre collection of chapters presents the dramatic transformation of English Studies in India since the early 1990s. It showcases the shift from the study of mainly British literature and language to a more versatile terrain of multilingualism, culture, performance, theory, and the literary Global South. Tracing this transition, the volume discusses themes like Indian literary history, postcolonial theory, post-pandemic challenges to literary studies, the state of Indian English drama, vernacular literature in English Studies and pedagogy, translations of feminist writers from South Asia, caste, and othering in literature, among other key themes. The volume, with contributions from eminent English Studies scholars, not only reflects the altered terrain of English Language and Literature in India but also invites readers to think about the transformative potential of the present juncture for both literary imagination and literary studies. This timely book, in honour of Professor GJV Prasad, will be of interest to scholars and researchers of English Studies, cultural studies, literature, comparative literature, translation studies, postcolonial studies, and critical theory.

Download or read book POLITICS OF GENDER WOMEN AND THEATRE written by Dr. Hemangi Bhagwat and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bertolt Brecht's theory and practice have had a strong influence on Women's Theatre since the theorization of the social gests; epic structure and alienation effect provide the means to reveal what might have been hidden. Hence there is a need to modify the methods of representation to cater to the needs of women's theatre. There has been a growing belief that the plays written by women would prove more effective in terms of expressing the issues of their concern. Brecht did not talk about the equality of sexes or the gender politics; however he did voice time and again the need to hit the evils in society and ultimately desired to change the society. This could be implied to the problems of suppression and marginalization of women.

Download or read book Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility written by Sayan Dey and published by Manipal Universal Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Decolonial Existence and Urban Sensibility: A Study on Mahesh Elkunchwar meticulously reflects upon some of the selected translated plays of Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar. It revolves around the themes of decolonial existence and urban sensibility in contemporary India as portrayed in his plays with respect to post-independent urban existence, socio-cultural existence and gender. The book also looks forward to establish a counterargument against the idealized and totalitarian definitions of West-centric existentialist philosophy, and establish indigenous dimensions of decolonial existence within specific contexts. It dismantles the colonially structured existing binaries of urban/rural, ethical/unethical and high culture/low culture through the diverse portrayal of human relationships in contemporary India and broadly addresses two inter-mingled perspectives. Firstly, it outlines the thematic and dramatic perspectives of the selected plays of Mahesh Elkunchwar and secondly, it explores the multi-dimensional philosophical perspectives that encapsulate the theoretical latitude of decoloniality and urban sensibility.
