Download or read book Reclaiming the Disabled Subject written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mired inside its rather archaic comprehension as a medical phenomenon, disability, for a long time now, has been ignored as a marker of identity. The world has only been busy in rectifying the absences that have, ostensibly “dis-abled”, rather than accepting such impaired existences as human beings themselves. The volume intends to reclaim the representations of disability and present narratives that do not just use the figure of the disabled as a means to an end. It includes translation of 17 disability centric short stories from multiple Indian languages into English. Further it uses these stories as illustration to test and develop new theoretical formulations concerning disability and the disabled. What grants the proposed work its uniqueness is, in other words, not only the translations of the erstwhile lost stories of disability but also the use of these stories towards the formation of theoretical paradigms to move forward the project of Disability Studies. The volume shows, interrogates and problematizes the affect that impairment and disability has on those who are “abled”. It presents how the “normal” human being approaches the disabled and interacts with them. All in all, owing to its academic engagement with disability as a phenomenon and within a narrative, this work intends to take the role of a resource book that will find ready use in the newly emergent multidisciplinary field of Disability Studies and will be of great significance to India and the world at large especially since Literature has a major role to play in this field. Not only, then, does it present different disability narratives to the world but, through their academic interrogation, also allows researchers and academics, especially in India, to form the theoretical enhancements in Disability Studies that both our country and the world desperately require.

Download or read book My Beloved Life written by Amitava Kumar and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exceptionally moving novel that traces the arc of a man's life, starting from his 1935 birth in a small village in India. Jadunath Kunwar's beginnings are humble, even inauspicious. His mother, while pregnant, nearly dies from a cobra bite. And this is only the first of many challenges in store for Jadu. As his life skates between the mythical and the mundane, Jadu finds meaning in the most unexpected places. He meets the sherpa who first summited Everest. He befriends poets and politicians. He becomes a historian. And he has a daughter, Jugnu, a television journalist with a career in the United States—whose perspective sheds new light on Jadu. All the while, currents of huge change sweep across India—from Independence to Partition, Gandhi to Modi, the Mahabharata to Somerset Maugham, cholera to covid—and buffet both Jadu and Jugnu’s lives. Piercing, fleet-footed, and undeniably resonant, here is a novel from a singularly gifted writer about how we tell stories and write history, how individuals play a counterpoint to big movements, how no single life is without consequence.

Download or read book Hot Stage written by Anita Nair and published by Bitter Lemon Press. This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third in the Inspector Gowda series, set in Bangalore, India. Borei Gowda is a splendidly grumpy, hard-drinking, deeply flawed policeman whose chaotic home life includes an absent wife, an estranged son and an enigmatic mistress. When elderly Professor Mudgood is found dead in his Bangalore house one winter morning, it is considered a natural death; after all, he was 82 years old, but Gowda isn’t so sure. All the evidence points to a political murder since the professor was a fervent critic of right-wing forces in India. But the more Gowda delves into the details, the more convinced he becomes that the professor’s killing has been stage-managed. There is something more sinister to it – and Gowda has no other option but to take a calculated risk to infiltrate this sinister world. The fast-paced plot has many surprising twists, but police work is not just about going out and catching crooks. All kinds of office politics, caste politics and other considerations complicate Gowda’s life. Anita Nair lives in Bangalore, and her disclosure of Gowda’s thoughts is telling: “This was a city where dog ate dog, rat devoured rat, and everyone would get ahead if they dismissed their conscience.”
