Les nouvelles façons de se définir révèlent alors parfois des caractères inquiétants alors que d'autres au contraire s'ouvrent à une perspective altermondialiste.

    LIMITS OF COMPARATIVISM? WRITINGS FROM PERU AND INDIA THROUGH A POSTCOLONIAL LENS by Lipi Biswas Sen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosphy Graduate Department of Spanish University of Toronto © Copyright by Lipi Biswas Sen 2009 Abstract Limits of Comparativism? Writings from Peru and India through a Postcolonial Lens Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Lipi Biswas Sen Graduate Department of Spanish, University of Toronto This thesis examines the premises postulated by Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, Helen Tiffin and Homi K. Bhabha within Postcolonial theory. The theorists suggest that these strategies can be applied to the entire literary production emerging from the erstwhile European colonies in Asia and Latin America; hence the aim of this project is to test the validity of their claim. Given the vastnesss of the theory, the scope of this study has been confined to the analysis of hybridity, Nativism, and mimicry. Critical works by Benita Parry, Walter Mignolo, Neil Lazarus, and others, have been taken into consideration. José María Arguedas (1911-1969), Arundhati Roy (1963-) and Geetanjali Shree (1957-), writing in Spanish, English and Hindi, respectively, were chosen to represent Peru and India. The Hindi novel was included to address the lack of adequate research in the field of vernacular literature within Postcolonial studies, as most of the critics have concentrated on texts written in the former colonizers’ languages. Language and culture have been the cornerstones of this theory hence they form an important part of my analysis. The dissertation foregrounds the relation between Spanish, English and the vernaculars in the text-nations crafted by Arguedas, and Roy.
