Returning of Chaka to a Star: Impact of Jibanananda Das in Binoy Majumdar’S Poetry
Returning of Chaka to a Star: Impact of Jibanananda Das in Binoy Majumdar’s poetry Ayan Chatterjee1 Abstract: Modern Bangla poetry started its journey in the 3rd decade of the 20th century. Jibanananda Das, Buddhadev Bose, Amiya Chakraborty, Sudhindranath Dutta were some of the notable modern poets of that period. In 5th decade, Bangla poetry had some brilliant young poets again. Some of them were inspired and influenced by Jibanananda. Binoy Majumdar was one of them. The impact of Jibanananda’s poetry was very prominent in his works. Though later he managed to find his own parole. This essay aims to do an intralingual reception study which relates these two important poets of Bangla literature, Jibanananda Das (1899-1954) and Binoy Majumdar (1934-2006). We will try to analyze the impact of Jibanananda on the poetic works of Binoy Majumdar here. Keywords: Reception, impact, poetry, Jibanananda, Binoy 1Ayan Chatterjee is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bangla, Maharaja Srischandra College. He has completed MA and M.Phil and PhD from the Department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University. He can be reached at [email protected]. Sāhitya. Vol. 8, Sept. 2019. ISSN: 2249-6416 3 I Reading of a text becomes problematic mainly in two ways. Firstly, a certain text always remains the function (f)1 of chronotope. So we should not try to analyse it as a separate, alienated one. Secondly, the idea of connecting a text with another one may appear in the ‘horizon of expectation’ of a reader anytime. If we try to look into the matter in the light of ‘dominant-residual-emergent’, then we can find that no text in true sense can be termed as ‘new’ because it always receives something from its predecessors either positively or negatively. -

His oeuvre is unremittingly autobiographical, narrating desultory journeys into a vulnerable yet stoic, companionless life. The poem that the paper analyses is one of his most well known. Two streaks of narrative run parallel in the poem: the protagonist’s act of suicide without any apparent reason and the ceaseless brutality of nature as a way of life. -
