Download or read book The Changing World of Caste and Hierarchy in Bengal written by Sudarshana Bhaumik and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the prevalent assumptions of caste, hierarchy and social mobility in pre-colonial and colonial Bengal. It studies the writings of colonial ethnographers, Orientalist scholars, Christian missionaries and pre-colonial literary texts like the Mangalkavyas to show how the concept of caste emerged and argues that the jati order in Bengal was far from being a rigidly reified structure, but one which had room for spatial and social mobility. The volume highlights the processes through which popular myths and beliefs of the lower caste orders of Bengal were Sanskritized. It delineates the linkages between sedantized peasant culture and the emergence of new agricultural castes in colonial Bengal. Moreover, the author discusses a wide spectrum of issues like marginality and hierarchy, the spread of Brahmanical hegemony, the creation of deities and the process of Sanskritization, popular Saivism, the cult of Manasa in Bengal and the revolt of 1857 and the caste question. Rich in archival sources, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of colonial history, Indian history, political sociology, caste studies, exclusion studies, cultural studies, social history, cultural history and South Asian studies, especially those interested in undivided Bengal.

Download or read book Journey of Gujarati Women Writers from Regionalism to Globalism written by Dr. Pratixa Parekh and published by Koryfi Group of Media and Publications. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For my research I have conducted a comparative study of the select fiction by Gujarati women writers in its original Gujarati and in English translation. The primary texts considered for the same consists of some of the famous fiction by well-know Gujarati authors - Saat Pagla Akashma by Kundanika Kapadia, Vaad by Ila Arab Mehta, Andhari Galima Safed Tapka by Himanshi Shelat and two anthologies of Gujarati short-stories translated in English – Speech and Silence by Rita Kothari and New Horizons of Women’s Writing by Amina Amin and Manju Verma. For this comparative study I have applied Andre Lefevere’s (1945-1996) conceptual framework of ‘Translation as a Rewriting of the Original’ and his concepts of four constraints namely – Ideology, Poetics, Patronage and Universe of Discourse. Apart from this, another important aim of my research was to examine the representation of female gender and scrutinize any instance of manipulation to create a different and more acceptable image of the women of Gujarat. Often it has been observed that the translator’s personal prejudices and cultural background affect the meaning of the original text as well as the character portrayal to suit the convenience of the target language-culture readers. The book also involved a study of the literature of Gujarat with particular focus on the arrival and contributions of women writers to the Gujarati literary spectrum; a comparative analysis of the representation of women in fiction by male and female writers of the state, Along with mainstream literature, folk and tribal literatures too have been considered, especially the gender images they portrait. I have scrutinised select excerpts from both the original fiction and their translations of the primary texts to examine any instances of misrepresentation or ambiguity at socio-cultural-linguistic front as well as in the representation of female self with a theoretical background of general translation theory and Lefevere’s theory in particular with fascinating findings at the end of the research endeavour. In recent years translation studies has emerged as a major academic discipline along with the rise of translation industry with the availability of multiple foreign language texts available in English as well as Indian languages and vice versa. This booming industry also promised ample opportunities to translators assuring not only prestige but also financial security. However, the point under scrutiny is that does the commercialization of the translation industry promote quality translations? In such circumstances, it is essential to conduct a survey to analyse the quality of translations produced and to provide a better guideline to the aspiring translators to make them better equipped with translation technique and theory to help them produce good quality translations while overcoming various hurdles at linguistic, cultural and stylistic levels which are capable to represent the region, culture, society, writer and literature of the original language. This research focuses on this relatively new and less paved area and it is a humble initiative in this direction with an aim to spread awareness towards this much neglected aspect of translation activity.
Download or read book Philosophy as World Literature written by Jeffrey R. Di Leo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to consider philosophy as a species of not just literature but world literature? The authors in this collection explore philosophy through the lens of the "worlding" of literature--that is, how philosophy is connected and reconnected through global literary networks that cross borders, mix stories, and speak in translation and dialect. Historically, much of the world's most influential philosophy, from Plato's dialogues and Augustine's confessions to Nietzsche's aphorisms and Sartre's plays, was a form of literature--as well as, by extension, a form of world literature. Philosophy as World Literature offers a variety of accounts of how the worlding of literature problematizes the national categorizing of philosophy and brings new meanings and challenges to the discussion of intersections between philosophy and literature.
Download or read book Contested Representation written by Dhananjay Rai and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Hindi cinema has become a significant signpost of contemporaneity due to its construction of social language. Generally, Hindi cinema has been understood through internal (auteur or genre or cinéma verité) and external aspects (consumption spheres and moviegoers’ complex response in the form of catharsis or everydayness mimesis). However, cinema also needs a new way of discerning with respect to ‘Dalit Representation’. The study needs to look at the construction and meaning of the social language of Hindi cinema. Construction refers to exploring factors beyond the film industry responsible for shaping the social language. Meaning entails the exhibition of social language in the form of messages. Herein, relational exploration becomes crucial. The relationship between factors of social language of Hindi cinema and Dalits must be unraveled for understanding the meaning of social language for Dalits. Contested representation encompasses the nature of absence and presence of Dalits in Hindi cinema.
