Paperback. Condición: New. Reconceptualizing the epic genre and opening it up to a world of storytelling, The Epic World makes a timely and bold intervention toward understanding the human propensity to aestheticize and normalize mass deployments of power and violence. The collection broadly considers three kinds of epic literature: conventional celebratory tales of conquest that glorify heroism, especially male heroism; anti-epics or stories of conquest from the perspectives of the dispossessed, the oppressed, the despised, and the murdered; and heroic stories utilized for imperialist or nationalist purposes.The Epic World illustrates global patterns of epic storytelling, such as the durability of stories tied to religious traditions and/or to peoples who have largely "stayed put"; the tendency to reimagine and retell stories in new ways over centuries; and the imbrication of epic storytelling and forms of colonialism and imperialism, especially those perpetuated and glorified by Euro-Americans over the past 500 years, resulting in unspeakable and immeasurable harms to humans, other living beings, and the planet Earth.The Epic World is a go-to volume for anyone interested in epic literature in a global framework. Engaging with powerful stories and ways of knowing beyond those of the predominantly white Global North, this field-shifting volume exposes the false premises of "Western civilization" and "Classics," and brings new questions and perspectives to epic studies.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A new Ramayan for a new age. In the early twentieth century, the poet and singer-storyteller Pandit Radheshyam Kathavachak reimagined and published the classic story of the Ramayan with stunning success. Guided by Tulsidas's sixteenth-century R¿mcaritm¿nasin Avadhi, Kathavachak composed his religious epic, the Radheshyam Ramayan, in Hindi-Urdu to make it comprehensible to modern audiences and to be able to sing and explicate it in devotional concerts (kath¿). Even so, the work was quickly incorporated into the scripts of annual Ramlila theatrical productions in the Rohilkhand region and beyond.Based on extensive literary, archival, and ethnographic research,The Radheshyam Ramayan in Text and Performancetakes readers on a journey through Kathavachak's hometown of Bareilly and his cosmopolitan world of Hindi letters and performance. The book demonstrates how Kathavachak's Ramayan, a purported translation, departs significantly from Tulsidas's famous Ramayan, and includes personal vignettes of actors who have declaimed Kathavachak's verses on a Ramlila stage in Bareilly. While Kathavachak is primarily known for his mythological plays and contributions to the commercial theatre, The Radheshyam Ramayan in Text and Performance reveals other aspects of Kathavachak's world, illustrating how he left an indelible mark on India's distinctive 'epic modernity.'. …
