Representations of Dalit Protagonists PDF Author: Hanumant Ajinath Lokhande
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9783031664434
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
This book interrogates canonical Indian English fiction which has Dalit characters as protagonists or major characters, and argues that the representation of such characters, although well-meant, is regulated and made unremarkable. It examines how the normative discourse of the Anglophone novel portrays Dalits from an upper-caste point of view, devoid of Ambedkarite or Dalit consciousness, and thus implicitly reinscribes the upper caste power by restricting the narrative to merely represent Dalit submission and victimhood. The arguments then are substantiated by setting up a comparative framework through contrastive analysis of selected narratives by Dalit writers from Marathi Dalit literature to highlight the differential representational paradigms that mark the absence or presence of Ambedkarite consciousness and perspective.

Untouchable Fictions: Literary Realism and the Crisis of Caste

Untouchable Fictions: Literary Realism and the Crisis of Caste PDF Author: Toral Jatin Gajarawala
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823245241
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 273

Book Description
Untouchable Fictions considers the crisis of literary realism--progressive, rural, regionalist, experimental--in order to derive a literary genealogy for the recent explosion of Dalit ("untouchable caste") fiction. Drawing on a wide array of writings from Premchand and Renu in Hindi to Mulk Raj Anand and V. S. Naipaul in English, Gajarawala illuminates the dark side of realist complicity: a hidden aesthetics and politics of caste. How does caste color the novel? What are its formal tendencies? What generic constraints does it produce?

Hindi Dalit Literature and the Politics of Representation

Hindi Dalit Literature and the Politics of Representation PDF Author: Sarah Beth Hunt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317559525
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 273

Book Description
This study explores how Dalits in north India have used literature as a means of protest against caste oppression. Including fresh ethnographic research and interviews, it traces the trajectory of modern Dalit writing in Hindi and its pivotal role in the creation, rise and reinforcement of a distinctive Dalit identity. The book challenges the existing impression of Hindi Dalit literature as stemming from the Dalit political assertion of the 1980s and as being chiefly imitative of the Marathi Dalit literature model. Arguing that Hindi Dalit literature has a much longer history in north India, it examines two differing strands that have taken root in Dalit expression — the early ‘popular’ production of smaller literary pamphlets and journals at the beginning of the 20th century and more contemporary modes such as autobiographies, short stories and literary criticism. The author highlights the ways in which such various forms of literary works have supported the proliferation of an all-encompassing identity for the so-called ‘untouchable’ castes. She also underscores how these have contributed to their evolving political consciousness and consolidation of newer heterogeneous identities, making a departure from their long-perceived image. The work will be important for those in Dalit studies, subaltern history, Hindi literature, postcolonial studies, political science and sociology as well as the informed general reader.

Filmmakers on Film

Filmmakers on Film PDF Author:
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1839024887
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 281

Book Description
This book bridges the gap between film theory and filmmakers' thoughts and poetics, and proposes a new way to address and elaborate film theory. It brings together primary sources by filmmakers themselves, drawing on their films, interviews, books, texts, and manifestos. Divided into three parts, the book covers the main aspects of this approach. Part one discusses the concepts of 'author' and 'filmmaker'. Part two evaluates the creative processes of a broad range of filmmakers, including Víctor Gaviria (Colombia), Kleber Mendonça Filho (Brazil), Jean-Luc Godard and Agnès Varda (France), Abbas Kiarostami (Iran) Pa. Ranjith (India), Andy Warhol (USA), Maya Deren (Ukraine-USA) and Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey). The final part examines filmmakers' various techniques, particularly the use of multi-images, after-(dialectical)-images, and the use of sound as a sensorial and narrative tool. This curated selection of writings, with contributors from a range of countries including the USA, UK, India, China, Portugal, Brazil, Belgium and New Zealand, reflects the global perspective of this new approach. The volume also discusses the ways in which filmmakers influence each other, the spectator as seen by filmmakers, and ways to critically address a filmography that takes into account filmmakers other than the director.
