Department of College Education (Raj.) ABSTRACT Postmodernism, within the historical context, denotes a period post 1980s, which represents an era following modernism. Whether it is a heralder of modernism, it refutes or obscures or surpasses modernism has been a question of analysis since long. But by and large, a consensus has been reached that modernism itself is inevitably postmodern, in its ever transitional contemporaneity and its relevance to the immediate present. Postmodernism, philosophically, describes the renaissance of skeptical thinking and a constant questioning of the already existing values and ideologies. The movement symbolises an epistemological critique which shatters the prevalent unquestionable belief in morality and rationality. It rejects any possibility or need of verifiability and homogeneity of principles. The explanatory schemes are vehemently argued and so is the validity of right and wrong, good and bad, ethical and unethical. A worthwhile action is defined not by logic or sanction of society but by individual parameters and needs. Change and disorder are welcome evading any association of reverence with a universal stable pattern. Based on the fact that Postmodernism is a valuable pursuit because it engages scholars and critics in discussions of the current cultural mutations and of the fundamental question about individual’s position and situation in the society, the research takes an indepth analysis of the contemporary life as depicted in the novels of Anita Desai and Namita Gokhale. The two writers of international repute, write highly individualistic narratives, carrying forward the legacy of postmodernism and its implications on our approach towards life, attitude and psychology. Explaining the concept of postmodernism, the thesis, by integrating primary material into the study, is an attempt to make explicit the common themes underlying the novels of Desai and Gokhale. It also brings to the surface the distinctive features between the works of the two contemporary writers concerning their themes as well as techniques of writing. It aims to give an insightful glimpse into the relevance of the understanding of postmodernism in realizing the various aspects of thoughts portrayed in the novels. The novels have been positioned in the postmodern premises, highlighting the absurdities of human existence, complexities of relationships, feministic concerns, alienation and fragmentation, rejection of reason and logic, psychological traumas and the assertion of the postmodern me-generation, negating and transcending all the totalizing and unifying agents. The fiction of Desai and Gokhale is a manifestation of a flexibility and diversity of approach and of style, arising out of acceptance of discontinuity, grotesqueness, inherent difference, self-motivation, role-reversals and rejection of the pre-ordained aesthetic rules of writing. Instead of prizing truth, morality, experience and society, the actions of the protagonists are determined by a self-beneficiary outlook tending towards spontaneity, reflexivity, relativity and autonomy. Women, being the focus of study of these two writers, exhibit postmodern consumer culture by objecting openly to the centrality of power neutralizing the judgement and expectations pronounced on them. Introduction of improbabilities, which disrupt the known and the accepted and a dialogism of representation are some striking features of their hybrid fiction. Key words: Postmodernism, modernism, absurdity, representation. Candidate’s Declaration I, hereby, certify that the work, which is being presented in the thesis, entitled ‘Postmodernist Concerns in the Novels of Anita Desai and Namita Gokhale : A Study in Comparison’ in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, carried under the supervision of Dr. Pratima Sharma and submitted to the University of Kota, Kota represents my ideas in my own words and where others’ ideas or words have been included, I have adequately cited and referenced the original sources.

With the vast fundamental changes taking place in the contemporary culture and society, postmodern fiction, with its emphasis on human freedom and emancipation, diversity, spontaneity, individuality, change and disorder, reconstructs the modernist literature. Postmodern literature is a part of socio-cultural and historical development and can be viewed as a specific way of depiction of the postmodern life and culture. The spirit of postmodernism is that of denial of belief in any naive representational scheme, in which symbols stand for something definite. Any possibility of rational consideration of the probabilities is evaded by postmodernists. It brings our focus on consumerism and lack of fixity of any kind in our lives in the present age. The postmodernist age, constitutes a dramatic mutation and rupture from the previous modern age and is characterized by wars, social turmoil and revolution. The term ‘Postmodern’ has only become current since the 1980s whereas it was the movement called ‘modernism’ which stirred the field of arts in the twentieth century and became crucial in the understanding of the culture of the first half of the twentieth century. Postmodernism came as an aftershock which was dedicated to experimentation and innovation. The boundaries of arts were rejected and an entirely new universe of pattern, purpose and process was laid down, claiming that

  • Ordeals of Suppressed Womanhood in the Novel 'Cry, the Peacock' by Anita Desai
    Ordeals of Suppressed Womanhood in the novel 'Cry, The Peacock' by Anita Desai. Tarrne N. Kulshrestha Ph.D. English Research Scholar Department of Humanities Uttaranchal University & Raj K. Dhar Professor, HoD Department of Humanities Uttaranchal University & Shriya Goyal Assistant Professor Uttaranchal University India Abstract Anita Desai in her attempts to capture the essence of a character who moves away from society and lives in a sort of exile portrays the struggles such an individual faces before they arrive at a reclusive solution. Their solitude is often either forced or voluntary. Her protagonists are primarily female and they struggle with a tremendous inner tension. Cry, The Peacock is the story of a young girl Maya trapped in a loveless marriage. Having lost her mother at a young age she looks for affection in other sources and becomes extremely sensitive. Brought up by a doting, over-protective father she believes in romance and love. Maya suffers from 'Electra Complex' which is partly the reason why she marries a man much older than her. But her husband Gautama turns out to be nothing like her father. He seems to be a cold, unfeeling intellectual who considers Maya a stubborn, spoilt child who needs to be disciplined and taught the meaning of real life. Their marriage shows visible signs of strain but Gautama remains unaware of it and also of the loneliness that he subjects Maya to through his condescending attitude. The present study is an attempt to explore how the novel portrays the ordeals of suppressed womanhood in the novel. www.ijellh.com 317 Keywords - Anita Desai, Failed marriage, Loneliness Introduction Literature is a mirror of society, it reflects how the society functions.

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.
