  • Chapter-Ii Growth and Development of School Of
    CHAPTER-II GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL OF STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN NOVEL IN EGYPT AND INDIA 11 2.1. The Origin of Arabic novel: The origin of the Arabic Novel can be traced to a long process of cultural revival and assimilation, referred to Al-Nahdah, (Renaissance). Characteristic of this period were two distinct trends. The Neoclassical movement sought to rediscover the literary traditions of the past, and was influenced by traditional literary genres such as the Maqama and Alf Laila wa Laila (Thousand and One Nights). In contrast, the modernist movement began by translating Western works, primarily novels, into Arabic. The birth of the Egyptian novel, however, could not take place until the modern era, when five pre-conditions had been fulfilled: 1. The influence of European literature, where the novel developed into a major genre in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; 2. The establishment of Egyptian printing works and press rooms in the nineteenth century along with the rise of news paper production; 3. Public education and the spread of literacy; 4. A gradual liberation from oppression by foreign powers, starting with the reign of Mohammed Ali in the aftermath of the Napoleonic occupation in the early 1800s; 5. The emergence of an intellectual class with broad international learning. 1 On the other hand, the individual authors in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt created original works by imitating the classical Maqama. The most prominent of these was Al-Muwaylihi, whose book, Hadith Isa ibn-Hisham, critiqued Egyptian society in the period of Mohammed Ali. 1.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

Submitted by, Paharee Konwar MA in English [email protected] Abstract Language is a mode of communication that connects people but at times it becomes a barrier where it is used by people to dominate other people. The postcolonial studies look at language as a form of colonizing tool which helps the colonizers to control the minds of the colonized. The aim of this paper is to look at language as a colonizing tool with the help of Ngugi wa Thiong‟o, concept of decolonizing mind introduced in the book Decolonizing the Mind: the Politics of Language in African Literature. The British East India Company ruled different parts of Assam and there were many changes that had taken place in the land that is recorded in history. The paper tries to look at how the Bangla language was used by the British to colonize the people of Assam looking at the history of Assamese language.

This period will include the Orunodoi era and the Jonaki era of Assamese literature named after two important journals Orunodoi and Jonaki of that period. I. Introduction In 1826 by the Iandabu treaty Assam was conquered by British. This brought a remarkable change in Assamese social life as well as in the Assamese literature. In the British period many journals were published which played a very important role in the development of Assamese language and literature. Different forms of modern literature like short story, novel, biography etc. entered into the Assamese literature through the journals. Two major journals of that time were the Orunodoi(1846) and The Jonaki(1889). These two journals started two eras in Assamese literature named after the the journal as Orunodoi era and Jonaki era. These two journals formed base of modern Assamese literature. II. Orunodoi Era Orunodoi was the first Assamese journal. It was published for the first time from the missionary press in Sibasagar in 1846 under the editorship of Nathan Brown. Though the prime reason for publication of Orunodoi was the propagation of Christianity but it also helped in entrenching the Assamese intelligentsia and broadening the mind of Assamese people.
