Download or read book Print and the Novel in 19th Century Kerala written by Ashokan Nambiar C. and published by Bloomsbury Academic India. This book was released on 2025-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book demonstrates how the early novel can be seen as a good site to think about what was effected by the print technology in the last decades of the 19th Century in Kerala. It was in the novel that changes that occurred in diverse fields in the print space came together and displayed themselves as such. This is also the reason why the early Malayalam novel is a useful site for thinking about Kerala's modernity. The story that unfolds in this book is about the newness of the nineteenth century novel and of a specific formation of modernity that emerged in Kerala at that time. This modernity included within its domain formations of diverse and new entities – social, political, cultural, linguistic, and literary. They shall not be seen as separate or as forming distinct modernities with their own distinct constituency; instead they need be seen as constituent elements of a particular modernity shaped in the final decades of nineteenth century. The books develops a new way to look at these elements and seek their story within the larger space of Kerala's print culture and then return to the novels and see how they work in these texts. The book persuades to change the conceptions about the early novels and formation of modernity in Kerala considerably, and enable new ways to look at contemporary social, political and cultural issues.

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.

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 The Middle Class in Colonial Malabar written by Sreejith K. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Members of the middle class in colonial Malabar left behind a copious amount of writings. These are to be found, among other places, in magazines, autobiographies and diaries. This book explores the social history of the middle class in the region during the British period on the basis of these writings in combination with archival sources. It delves into how they conceptualized domesticity, forged new friendships cutting across caste, and sometimes, even racial lines, and the new forms of leisure they envisaged. The author also analyses the dilemmas the group faced as it responded to the changes unleashed by colonial modernity at their work places, in the public sphere, and inside homes, where they desperately clung on to tradition even while accepting much of what the West had to offer. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tradition and Transformation in Mohiniyattam Dance: An Ethnographic History demonstrates how Mohiniyattam, a form previously stigmatized, was reinvented as a sign of traditional Keralite womanhood. The book traces how the emergence of Mohiniyattam as a traditional form of dance based on a feminine aesthetic was synchronistic with the outlawing of polyandrous marriage practices and devadasi practices, as well as changes in matrilineal inheritance and the outlawing of and reforms in women’s dress customs in Kerala, India. These layers of history and cultural meaning permitted Mohiniyattam’s renaissance as a sign of female grace and tradition. Throughout, Lemos argues that practicing and learning movement is a gateway to understanding a system of semiosis. Danced movement itself can be a locust, a bellwether, and even an agent of social change.
