Paradigmatic components may be identified in proto-anasazi Navajo and Zuni rock-art of the post-Columbian period. Historical contingencies contextualize figures and characters in American Indian rock arts. Similar processes of representation occur in Bhimbetka and Hazaribagh rock-art locations. The emergence of glyphs may be hypothetically traced in terms of behavioral responses towards shock or surprise and techniques of psychological containment, especially as they relate to war, divination, or emotional cathexis.

It uncovers a historical pattern of Bengali intellectual life that marked the period from the 1870stothe1920s, whereby an imperial imagination was transformed into an international one, as a generation of intellectuals born between 1885 and 1905 reinvented the political category of “youth”. Hermeneutics, as a philosophically informed study of how meaning is created through conversation, and grounded in this essay in the thought of Hans Georg Gadamer, helps to reveal this pattern.
