  • Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XVII (2015) 10.12797/CIS.17.2015.17.04 Nicola Pozza [email protected] (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) Wandering Writers in the Himalaya: Contesting Narratives and Renunciation in Modern Hindi Literature Summary: The Himalayan setting—especially present-day Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand—has fascinated many a writer in India. Journeys, wanderings, and sojourns in the Himalaya by Hindi authors have resulted in many travelogues, as well as in some emblematic short stories of modern Hindi literature. If the environment of the Himalaya and its hill stations has inspired the plot of several fictional writ- ings, the description of the life and traditions of its inhabitants has not been the main focus of these stories. Rather, the Himalayan setting has primarily been used as a nar- rative device to explore and contest the relationship between the mountain world and the intrusive presence of the external world (primarily British colonialism, but also patriarchal Hindu society). Moreover, and despite the anti-conformist approach of the writers selected for this paper (Agyeya, Mohan Rakesh, Nirmal Verma and Krishna Sobti), what mainly emerges from an analysis of their stories is that the Himalayan setting, no matter the way it is described, remains first and foremost a lasting topos for renunciation and liberation. KEYWORDS: Himalaya, Hindi, fiction, wandering, colonialism, modernity, renunci- ation, Agyeya, Nirmal Verma, Mohan Rakesh, Krishna Sobti. Introduction: Himalaya at a glance The Himalaya has been a place of fascination for non-residents since time immemorial and has attracted travellers, monks and pilgrims and itinerant merchants from all over Asia and Europe.

COPYRIGHT FIMT 2020 Page 1 BA ENGLISH (HON) SEM IV PAPER CODE 202 LITERARY CRITICISM Q1. What are Aristotle's views on mimesis? Ans: Mimesis is a Greek term that means imitation. The first step in understanding Aristotle's account of mimesis is remembering that he spent many years studying at Plato's Academy. In Platonic thought, the things we encounter via our senses, the phenomena, are imitations of ideal forms. Art (whether poetry or painting), in imitating the phenomena, is thus merely an imitation of an imitation. Plato also divides imitation by medium (words, paint, marble, etc.). He further divides the verbal techniques of imitation into pure imitation or mimesis, in which an actor impersonates a character on stage, and diegesis, or narration, in which a narrator speaks in the third person about events. Epic is a mixed form, using both impersonation and narration when performed by a rhapsode. Plato tends to condemn imitation as degrading, because (1) impersonation can inculcate bad or non-rational habits and (2) because it focuses attention on mere phenomena. Aristotle accepts the Platonic distinction between mimesis and diegesis, but finds both valuable as modes of training and educating emotions.

  • Feminism in Indian English and Tamil Literature
    (RJELAL) Research Journal of English Language and Literature Vol.2.Issue.1.;2014 A Peer Reviewed International Journal - http://www.rjelal.com RESEARCH ARTICLE FEMINISM IN INDIAN ENGLISH AND TAMIL LITERATURE Dr. A.

  • Nirmal Verma's Postcolonial Modernity
    Anushree, Anubha 2015. “Choosing to Belong: Nirmal Verma‟s Postcolonial Modernity” The Delhi University Journal of the Humanities & the Social Sciences 2, pp. 87-99 THE DELHI UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF THE HUMANITIES & THE SOCIAL SCIENCES VOLUME 2: 2015 | Page 87 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Choosing to Belong: Nirmal Verma’s Postcolonial Modernity ANUBHA ANUSHREE Stanford University / University of Delhi Abstract In a key non-ficitional work of his―Itihaas, Smriti aur Akanksha―the Hindi novelist Nirmal Verma considers two sets of relationships: one between history and memory and the other between modernity and selfhood. This paper argues that Verma‟s often ambivalent relationship with European modernity and history is held in deep tension with his restitutive celebration of a self, apprehended through smriti (memory) and akanksha (desire). As one of the most significant writers and thinkers in post- independence India, Verma‟s works traverse an uneasy journey from anti-colonialism to decolonization. What does it mean to decolonize? Does decolonization expose the problematic and essentially ambiguous nature of the contemporary and its sense of history? If history and the present are invariably implicated in the notion of self, is it possible to resurrect a self beyond a modernity-conditioned history and the present? How do we account for human agency in the politics that understands selfhood either as recuperative or reactive? These are some of the questions that energize Verma‟s analyses of the notions of time, self and history. Positing a notion of selfhood away from the Europeanized constructions of history and time, Verma is equally reluctant to commit to a tempting but analytically less significant model of selfhood based on tradition and indigeniety.
