The Audacious Raconteur
Author: Leela PrasadPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501752286
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Can a subject be sovereign in a hegemony? Can creativity be reined in by forces of empire? Studying closely the oral narrations and writings of four Indian authors in colonial India, The Audacious Raconteur argues that even the most hegemonic circumstances cannot suppress "audacious raconteurs": skilled storytellers who fashion narrative spaces that allow themselves to remain sovereign and beyond subjugation. By drawing attention to the vigorous orality, maverick use of photography, literary ventriloquism, and bilingualism in the narratives of these raconteurs, Leela Prasad shows how the ideological bulwark of colonialism—formed by concepts of colonial modernity, history, science, and native knowledge—is dismantled. Audacious raconteurs wrest back meanings of religion, culture, and history that are closer to their lived understandings. The figure of the audacious raconteur does not only hover in an archive but suffuses everyday life. Underlying these ideas, Prasad's personal interactions with the narrators' descendants give weight to her innovative argument that the audacious raconteur is a necessary ethical and artistic figure in human experience. Thanks to generous funding from Duke University, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The Book Deals With The Political, Administrative, Socio-Economic And Religious History Of North Karnatak (Dharwad And Belgaum Districts Completely And Bijapur District South Of The Krishna River) Under The Nawabs Of Savanur Who Ruled Over This Area From 1672 To 1948 After The Adil Shahs Of Bijapur. From 1672 To 1794 They Ruled Largely As Independent Rulers, And Thereafter Their Kingdom Was Turned Into A Princely State, And The Extent Of Its Area Was Reduced Considerably.They Left Behind Them A Good Administrative System, Which They Had Largely Inherited From The Adil Shahs And Bahmanis. The Local Chieftains, The Desais, Shared The Ruling Power With The Nawabs. They Were The Backbone Of The Provincial Administrative System.The Agrarian System Inherited Many Elements From Vijayanagara, Adil Shahs And Marathas. The Standard Land Measure, The Mar, Was Continued From The Vijayanagara Times, While The Bigha And Chawar Were Borrowed From The Adil Shahs And The Marathas.In The Religious Field One Finds An Attempt At Harmonisation And Synthesis. The Religious Festivals Of Various Castes And Communities Were Allowed To Continue As They Were Handed Down From Earlier Times. Saints Of Different Religions Commanded Equal Respect And Devotion From All The Communities.Most Of The Nawabs Were Religious-Minded, And Never Indulged In Any Religious Discrimination. There Are Many Examples Of The Nawabs Making Grants Of Lands To The Brahmins, Lingayats And Other Communities, And Not A Single Temple Or Matha Was Demolished On Religious Grounds During Their Times. Savanur Was Privileged To Get A Printing Press Early In The Modern Period. Its Judicial System Became A Model For Other Princely States.The Book Is A Pioneering Work, It Being The First Historical Work Of Its Kind On The Subject. It Throws Open To The World Of Historians A Subject About The Different Aspects Of Which Independent Works Can Be Written. It Explores New Avenues On The Uncharted Sea Of The Subject Trailing Behind New Lines Of Development For The Coming Historians.
