Chapter I Introduction CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
Chapter I Introduction CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Preliminaries 1.2 Translation in English 1.3 Tradition of Translation in India 1.4 Tradition of Translation in Maharashtra 1.5 Linguistic Approach to Translation 1.6 Cultural Approach to Translation 1.7 History of Translation Studies in Europe 1.8 History of Translation Studies in India 1.9 Aims and Objectives 1.10 Hypothesis 1.11 Scope and Limitations of the Research 1.12 Justification for Research 1.13 Pedogogical Implications 1.1 Preliminaries This introductory chapter explains the different translations theories in India and the world. It also narrates the short history of translations in India and abroad. Though it is difficult to define translation in specific words, one can give various definitions to show the different ideas related to translations. Oxford dictionary of English language defines translation as ‘The action or process of turning something from one language into another”. It is true that dictionary is not basically meant to define terms like translation. Yet the dictionary has used the word ‘something’ which needs to be explained here. According to this defmition anything from a simple word to a work of art can be covered under this term translation. This covers a vast area and may mislead the basic concept of translation as we view it generally. Catford has defined it as “translation is the replacement of textual material of one language in another language”. According to this defmition material is replaced. A work of art does not contain only material. It has style and diction in it, which needs to be taken into consideration in translation. -
Gauri Deshpande (1942 – 2003) Von Chitrarekha Mehendale
Gauri Deshpande (1942 – 2003) von Chitrarekha Mehendale Gauri Deshpande war eine Romanschriftstellerin, Kurzgeschichten- autorin und Lyrikerin aus Maharashtra, Indien. Sie schrieb in Mara- thi und Englisch. Sie gehört zu den Autorinnen des unabhängigen Indien, die den Mut hatten, sich gegen gesellschaftliche Normen aufzulehnen. Kein Wunder, denn sie entstammte einer Familie, die mit aktivem Enga- gement zu sozialen Reformen in Maharashtra beigetragen hat. Ihr Großvater Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve hat das Leben vie- ler Frauen dadurch positiv beeinflusst, dass er Schulen und Heime für Frauen gründete, zu einer Zeit, als das Schicksal der Frauen Gauri Deshpande gänzlich von Männern bestimmt wurde und von ihrem Familien- Foto: Amit Yadav stand abhing. Ihr Onkel Raghunath Karve erkannte sehr früh, dass man den Bevölkerungszuwachs in Indien bremsen sollte. Er bemühte sich, das Volk und die Politiker aufzuklären – leider ohne Erfolg. Gauri Deshpande wurde in Pune als jüngstes von drei Kindern von Irawati und Dinkar Dhon- do Karve geboren. Der Vater war Chemieprofessor, die Mutter Anthropologin und Autorin. Auch Gauri Deshpandes Tochter Urmila ist mit einem Debut-Roman hervorgetreten. Gauri Deshpande studierte am Fergusson College englische Literatur und promovierte in die- sem Fach an der University of Pune. Sie lehrte an der Abteilung für Englisch am Fergusson College und war später als Professorin an der University of Pune tätig. Werk Gauri Deshpande schrieb hauptsächlich auf Marathi, verfasste aber auch Kurzgeschichten, Artikel und Gedichte auf Englisch. Sie gehörte zur ersten Generation feministischer Autorinnen in Indien. Ihre Ideen waren für ihre Zeit weit fortgeschritten. Sie schockiert sogar viele Frauen der heutigen Generation mit ihrer Offenheit des Ausdrucks. -
Significant Lives: Biography, Autobiography, and Women's History in South Asia
Significant Lives: biography, autobiography, and women's history in South Asia Supriya Chaudhuri Cite this article: Significant Lives: biography, autobiography, and women's history in South Asia by Supriya Chaudhuri at https://oclw.web.ox.ac.uk/, via https://oclw.web.ox.ac.uk/significant-lives-biography-autobiography-and- womens-history-south-asia. Accessed on Monday, 1 June 2020. When I chose a title for this talk, I must have been recalling – though I didn’t realize this at the time -- a justly-celebrated essay by Carolyn Steedman, published in 1992 in the journal History and Theory, and titled ‘La Théorie que n’en est pas une: or, Why Clio doesn’t Care.’ In that essay, partly reworked from her own recently published biography of the socialist educator Margaret McMillan (Steedman 1990), Steedman suggested that the practice of biography made for a new understanding of women’s history, which might be described as an altered sense of the historical meaning and importance of female insignificance. The absence of women from conventional historical accounts, discussion of this absence (and discussion of the real archival difficulties that lie in the way of presenting their lives in a historical context) are at the same time a massive assertion of the littleness of what lies hidden. A sense of that which is lost, never to be recovered completely, is one of the most powerful organizing devices of modern women's history (Steedman 1992: 43). Steedman sees herself, then, as extending what Elizabeth Fox-Genovese had said more cryptically ten years earlier: that ‘women’s history challenges mainstream history, not to substitute the chronicle of the female subject for that of the male, but rather to restore conflict, ambiguity and tragedy to the historical process’ (Fox- Genovese 1982: 29). -

Examining Caste Through Life History Interviews in Baroda Dissertation
Women’s Lives, Women’s Stories: Examining Caste Through Life History Interviews in Baroda Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Varsha Sanjeev Chitnis Graduate Program in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Mytheli Sreenivas, Advisor Jill Bystydzienski Amy Shuman Shannon Winnubst Copyright by Varsha Sanjeev Chitnis 2014 Abstract This project rethinks caste by incorporating the voices and experiences of upper caste women. I use life history method to examine the intersections of caste, class and gender in the lives of Marathi-speaking, upper caste women in the city of Baroda, in Western Indian state of Gujarat. In examining these life history narratives, I identify domesticity as one of the central organizing principles of both caste and gender, and examine the linkages between gender, caste, sexuality and labor as aspects of the ideology of domesticity. I argue that caste-based inequalities are sustained through the normalization of domestic relationships and domesticity, and call for the incorporation of the institutions of the family, marriage, labor, sexuality and domesticity within the purview of caste and anti-caste theories in contemporary India. In emphasizing the importance of domesticity to the sustenance of gender and caste hierarchies, this project draws attention to the political nature of domestic spaces and relationships. ii Dedication Dedicated to the memory of My grandmother, Leela Chitnis and my aunt, Hemalata Bendre, who inspired this project and My grandfather, Govind Keshav Chitnis, historian, author, thinker, and a lifelong inspiration.
