This novel translated to English as The Seat of Power was published by Sahitya Akademi. The present book Modern Assamese Drama consists of two epoch making dramas- Gunabhiram Barua’s Ram Navami and Dr Birinchi Kumar Baruah’s Ebelar Nat. Anandaram Dhekial Phukan, Hem Chandra Barua and Gunabhiram Barua were the harbingers of the nineteenth century Renaissance in Assam. While in Calcutta he came under the influence of Raja Rammohan Roy, Vidyasagar and Keshav Chandra Sen, founder of the Brahmo Samaj. He was determined to fight social evils like child marriage and do away with the taboo against widow-remarriage. These are the leading themes of Ram Navami Nat; which appeared serialized in the Orunudoi from 1957. The plot veers around the natural urge of Ram as he falls in love with the child-widow Navami. The pair of lovers were crushed under the chariot wheels of social prejudices. The tragedy was written under the influence of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Bhabhuti’s Malati Madhavam. Even after the lapse of one hundred and fifty-five years the drama is not obsolete, although the socially conscious Gunabhiram Barua was not a propagandist but was fully aware of a writer’s artistic responsibility. Ebelar Nat is an avant-garde play covering only the period of half a day, without any change of scene within the bright and well-decorated drawing room of Madhuchanda Barua, whose make-up bespeaks the presence of an ultra-modern lady. The characters of the play are few, though the dialogues are plenteous and pointed. One interesting character is Manorama whose obesity and expensive ornaments testify to her husband’s ill-gotten money. Barua draws a vivid picture of the newly-emerging pseudo-aristocratic society after India’s independence, marked by consumerism and ruthless competition for the acquisition of wealth. While the young people are for the rejection of old social values, the young women favour complete emancipation from the tyranny of men. The death of the representative of the old order symbolises the dissolution of that very order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the very nature of representation to be theatrical and self-referential. This book undercuts the fact that all representational knowledge is autonomous and sovereign. At times, theatrical representations can misguide and mislead. Representation can also ineluctably project ones own preferences and preoccupations. Thus, representation and subjective interpretation divulge into myriad domains. This book is concerned with the effects and consequences of representation and its politics. This book examines not only how language as well as representation produce meaning, but also how discursive knowledge connected to power regulates, conducts, and constructs identities and defines the way certain things are thought about practices and are studied. The book takes note of the fact that within the framework of performance, a performative subject does not wear a coherent identity as it is fragmented, decentered, simulated and is unstable, while being both virtual as well as actual. In the field of semiotics, theatre is historically and reciprocally affected by practice, especially within contingent conditions of time. In theatre semiotics, the new image of knowledge is that of turbulence. Here, knowledge is not so much a system as it is a confluence. Carrying this stance further we can say that contemporary Assamese theatre is characterised by shifting counter-voices and sub-textual underpinnings. This act forces reading into two directions: dialogic openness and variability of meaning that question the theatre directors as the only ones who know.

Book excerpt: The study of Assamese literature has so far been in terms of the history of the Assamese language. This book is a history of the narratives written in Assamese language and its relation to the process of region formation. The literature dealt with ranges from pre-colonial chronicles, ballads and drama to modern genres of fiction and critical writing in Assamese language. Taking the Brahmaputra valley and Assamese literature as case studies, the author attempts to link literature, its nature and use, to processes of region formation, arguing that such a study needs to take the context of historical geography into consideration. The book views region formation in north-east India as a dialectical process, that is, the dialectic between the shared and the distinct in inter-group and community relations. It borrows an anthropological approach to study written narratives and cultures so as to locate such narratives in specific processes of region formation.

This book was released on 1996-09-09 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has a rich literary assemblage produced by its many different regional traditions, religious faiths, ethnic subcultures and linguistic groups. The published literature of the 20th century is a particularly interesting subject and is the focus of this book, as it represents the provocative conjuncture of the transitions of Indian modernity. This reference book surveys the major regional literatures of contemporary India in the context of the country's diversity and heterogeneity. Chapters are devoted to particular regions, and the arrangement of the work invites comparisons of literary traditions. Chapters provide extensive bibliographies of primary works, thus documenting the creative achievement of numerous contemporary Indian authors. Some chapters cite secondary works as well, and the volume concludes with a list of general works providing further information. An introductory essay overviews theoretical concerns, ideological and aesthetic considerations, developments in various genres, and the history of publishing in regional literatures. The introduction provides a context for approaching the chapters that follow, each of which is devoted to the literature of a particular region. Each chapter begins with a concise introductory section. The body of each chapter is structured according to social and historical events, literary forms, or broad descriptive or analytic trends, depending on the particular subject matter. Each chapter then closes with an extensive bibliography of primary works, thus documenting the rich literary tradition of the region. Some chapters also cite secondary sources as an aid to the reader. The final chapters of the book address special topics, such as sub-cultural literatures, or the interplay between literature and film. A list of additional sources of general information concludes the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is the largest film producing country in the world and its output has a global reach. After years of marginalisation by academics in the Western world, Indian cinemas have moved from the periphery to the centre of the world cinema in a comparatively short space of time. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars in the field, this Handbook looks at the complex reasons for this remarkable journey. Combining a historical and thematic approach, the Handbook discusses how Indian cinemas need to be understood in their historical unfolding as well as their complex relationships to social, economic, cultural, political, ideological, aesthetic, technical and institutional discourses. The thematic section provides an up-to-date critical narrative on diverse topics such as audience, censorship, film distribution, film industry, diaspora, sexuality, film music and nationalism. The Handbook provides a comprehensive and cutting edge survey of Indian cinemas, discussing Popular, Parallel/New Wave and Regional cinemas as well as the spectacular rise of Bollywood. It is an invaluable resource for students and academics of South Asian Studies, Film Studies and Cultural Studies.
