Download or read book Writing Gender Writing Nation written by Bharti Arora and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation through a rigorous analysis of selected women’s fiction ranging from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional contexts. Indian women’s writing across languages, texts, and contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.

Download or read book Revelry Rivalry and Longing for the Goddesses of Bengal written by Rachel Fell McDermott and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annually during the months of autumn, Bengal hosts three interlinked festivals to honor its most important goddesses: Durga, Kali, and Jagaddhatri. While each of these deities possesses a distinct iconography, myth, and character, they are all martial. Durga, Kali, and Jagaddhatri often demand blood sacrifice as part of their worship and offer material and spiritual benefits to their votaries. Richly represented in straw, clay, paint, and decoration, they are similarly displayed in elaborately festooned temples, thronged by thousands of admirers. The first book to recount the history of these festivals and their revelry, rivalry, and nostalgic power, this volume marks an unprecedented achievement in the mapping of a major public event. Rachel Fell McDermott describes the festivals' origins and growth under British rule. She identifies their iconographic conventions and carnivalesque qualities and their relationship to the fierce, Tantric sides of ritual practice. McDermott confronts controversies over the tradition of blood sacrifice and the status-seekers who compete for symbolic capital. Expanding her narrative, she takes readers beyond Bengal's borders to trace the transformation of the goddesses and their festivals across the world. McDermott's work underscores the role of holidays in cultural memory, specifically the Bengali evocation of an ideal, culturally rich past. Under the thrall of the goddess, the social, political, economic, and religious identity of Bengalis takes shape.

Download or read book 4 Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin written by Ulrich Schreiber and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das 4. Internationale Literaturfestival Berlin (21.9. bis 2.10.2004) stellt 100 eingeladene Autoren mit Foto, Biographie in deutscher und englischer Sprache sowie einer Auswahl ihrer wichtigsten Publikationen vor. Aufgrund der großen Resonanz wird der Katalog in ähnlicher Konzeption, wie 2003 erscheinen. Jeder Autor wurde gebeten, eine individuelle Antwort zum Motto "Make answer, Muse!" zu senden. Ihre spontanen Reaktionen - ob Foto, Collage, Gedicht oder object trouvé - wurden gestalterisch integriert. Was tun die Dichter, wenn die Musen schweigen, die Inspiration versagt, die Feder bockt, die Tinte stockt? Selbst Shakespeare litt unter dem "Schreibblock", wie seine ungeduldige Anrufung der Musen zeigt: "Wie, Muse, willst du deine Säumnis sühnen? Du schweigst, wo Wahrheit trägt der Schönheit Kleid, Die engverbunden dem Geliebten dienen, Und so tust du und bist dadurch geweiht. Antworte, Muse! Sagst du mir wohl gar, Wahrheit erstrahle schön auch ohne dich, Und ohne Kunst sei echte Schönheit wahr, Das Beste sei das Beste stets an sich? Er braucht dich nicht! Deshalb willst du nicht singen? Das ist kein Grund! Denn ist es nicht dein Amt, Ihm übers goldne Grab noch Ruhm zu bringen, Daß hell sein Lob in fernster Zukunft flammt? Tu deinen Dienst! Ich lehre dich die Art, Daß ihn, gleich uns, die spätste Zeit gewahrt."

Download or read book You Must Win The winner can create History written by Ahmed Sayeed and published by Prowess Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest book "You Must Win" contains a similar subject of humans should get freed from the Cage of Theology or Dogmatism. My Contention is that "The Earth will be it's own when heavens are destroyed. The book Human Achievement contain the same message, first Know thyself" then only you can know the world, your society, your fellow being, your kith, and kins. I wish that the Book would enlighten the reader with an advise "that when we know nothing of the first Principle, it is truly extravagant to define God, Angels, Heavens, and minds to know precisely why God formed world when we do not know why we pray and raise our arms at our will" It advocates that Society is a growth in time, not syllogism in Logic and when the past is out through the door, it comes in at the windows. It guides to show precisely by what changes we can diminish misery and injustice in the world in which we actually live. A real Human who owns Humanity would automatically reject the story of "Adam and Eve" Let us live what is provided with and regarding the growth of Human life both physically and psychologically let us leave the matter to Scientists and to socialists. Socialist concern must be to lead a life peacefully, ethically, contently after attaining bask biological and social needs and this may contend as my message as an author to the readers in particular and humanity in general.

Download or read book The Goddess Re discovered written by Saumitra Chakravarty and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book critically analyses questions of gender and sexuality in the medieval religious texts of Bengal. It analyses the emergence of religious cults in patriarchal contexts, the humanization of the goddess figure as a wife and mother who is subject to social and ethical codes, and demythologization of folk epics. This book discusses the folk genre of the Mangal Kavyas such as the Chandi Mangal and the Manasa Mangal, against the perspectives of Sanskrit texts like the Devi Mahatmya and the Devi Bhagavata Purana, and compares and contrasts the Kalika Purana against the texts and practices of the Tantric cult, to shed light on the paradoxes and parallels in the images of Kali found in the texts and practices dominant in the eastern region of India. The author also highlights the centrality of Chaitanya in the Gaudiya Vaishnava movement, the social and religious revolution he brought with the philosophy of raganuga bhakti along with the androgynous aspects in his relationships; explores the concept of mystical eroticism in the love of Radha and Krishna as seen in the song sequences of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas; and discusses women’s Rama-kathas found in a variety of languages across India. Rich in archival material, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, literature, medieval history, social history, cultural anthropology, religious studies, cultural studies, South Asia studies, and those interested in the history of medieval Bengal.

Download or read book Dark Fear Eerie Cities written by Šarūnas Paunksnis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What haunts the city? Why is there so much pessimism in our urban lives? And how does this physical and psychological insecurity of relentless competition and a desire to succeed against all odds proliferate into cinema? Dark Fear, Eerie Cities analyses a wide array of films made in the early 21st century to offer a philosophical and psychoanalytical critique of the transforming cinematic imaginary—from the pre-1990s feudal family ideal to the contemporary construction of the new middle class’s subjectivities in the postcolonial context. Keeping in mind the effects of globalization, market liberalization, and the emergence of new forms of media and its consumption, the book proposes a theoretical engagement with cinematic transformations. Paunksnis presents an interdisciplinary study of a genre of cinema in which crime thrillers and horror films are aimed at answering some of the fundamental questions of our contemporary times.
