Download or read book The Concept of Vakrokti in Sanskrit Poetics written by Suryanarayana Hegde and published by Readworthy. This book was released on with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the whole range of Sanskrit poetics, the term vakrokti took altogether a new significance and the highest position as the all pervading poetic concept in Kuntaka's Vakroktijivita. He revived the concept from more verbal poetic figure to the lessons of poetry. He not only explains but also explores the multi-dimensional aspects of Vakrokti. But unfortunately, no comprehensive study of Vakrokti has been done in a systematic way. This book is an effort in this direction. Presenting the major schools of Sanskrit poetics, the book gives general definition of vakrokti and its multi-dimensional implications. Further taking a close look at the views of different theorists on vakrokti, it exposes in detail kuntaka's theory of vakrokti and makes its critical analysis in relation to various literary concepts- alankara, svabhavokti, rasavadalankara, marga and rasa. Finally, it deals with the striking similarities between dhvani and vakrokti, and brings out the fundamental aspects of practical criticism as shown by kuntaka.

Download or read book An Introduction to Indian Aesthetics written by Mini Chandran and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thinkers and philosophers of ancient India contemplated intensively and extensively about all aspects related to life, and art was one of the major domains they touched upon. A profound and intense analysis of the art experience in literature naturally led to the evolution of one of the most sophisticated and long-standing poetic systems in the world. An Introduction to Indian Aesthetics: History, Theory, and Theoreticians offers a comprehensive historical and conceptual overview of all the major schools in Sanskrit poetics-one of the most sophisticated and long-standing traditions of literary criticism in the ancient world. The book, despite its primary focus on the major exponents of each school, also aims to give the reader a good idea as to how these concepts were treated before and after their major practitioners. An important part of Sanskrit poetics that often intimidates a modern reader is its seemingly difficult terminology. This book particularly addresses this issue by using contemporary idioms for readers who have no background of Sanskrit. It also aims to draw points of comparison, wherever relevant, between certain concepts in Sanskrit poetics and their western counterparts.
Download or read book Semantics Stylistics Pedagogics written by V. Prakasam and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaning, being the core of the existential reality of language, need to be comprehended and analyzed, properly grasped and talked about. The first part of this book, Semantics, Stylistics and Pedagogics, is planned to strengthen our comprehension of the ‘meaning’ facet of language at ‘isolable’ level (lexical) and also at ‘combinatorial’ level (discoursal). The way ‘meaning’ is viewed and analyzed at different times and in different intellecting traditions is presented in the first three chapters which constitute the part called Semantics. The fourth chapter constitutes the second part of the book—Stylistics—dealing with the way ‘meaning’ is juiced out from a text. One can even say that we actually juice out meaning for a text because the meaning is actually a response from the aesthetic and cognitive capabilities of a reader. So the ‘grasping’ of meaning of a text is again a dynamic process comprising denotative, connotative and suggestive responses. The third part of the book is ‘Pedagogics’ which subsumes ‘androgogics’ too. Here we see how the language teacher who has comprehended and grasped ‘meaning’ conveys it to the student in the classroom. This conveying is actually facilitating comprehension and grasping in the minds of the students.

Download or read book Sanskrit Poetics in the Postcolonial Space written by Sreenath V.S. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book positions Sanskrit poetics in a postcolonial context to understand its contemporary relevance and proposes a productive future direction for this system of knowledge. The fundamental argument against Sanskrit poetics in modern literary circles is that it is a system of knowledge that does not have any contemporary relevance, since the idea of literature conceptualised by Sanskrit poetics is incompatible with the modern notion of literature. The general argument is that Sanskrit poetics has only the archaic value of a museum piece. This book which resists such an extremist approach to Sanskrit poetics aims to provide a new direction for Sanskrit poetics to generate new knowledge about this epistemology. The new approach that the author proposes is explicated through three major theoretical positions in Sanskrit poetics, namely dhvani, aucitya and vakrokti.
