Hardcover. Condición: New. Contents: Acknowledgement. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The other foot out of the threshold -- resisting patriarchy. 3. Resisting the Matriarch. 4. Childhood experiences as resistance. 5. Revisionist mythmaking as resistance. 6. Speaking pain -- resisting rape. 7. Summing up. Select bibliography. Index…. "Resistance can be as esoteric as silence and silence can be as impenetrable as hegemonic power; conversely, both resistance and silence have the potential to challenge power. By its very nature, resistance in non-confrontational. It works subtly through seemingly small, innocuous everyday acts of non-compliance and achieves the desired results imperceptibly and slowly. As a socio-cultural-historical practice, resistance has been largely successful, the most obvious example being Gandhi's philosophy of 'passive resistance'; as a literary practice it poses challenge to the reader as well as the author. Indian women writers have provided variegated pictures of resistance practices in the modern Indian context. In this study, Bande examines the treatment of resistance in nine contemporary novels written in English. Through a close reading of the selected novels of Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande, Githa Hariharan, Manju Kapur, Shobha De, Arundhati Roy and Bapsi Sidhwa, she examines women's conditioning, their internalization of patriarchy and the reasons for their inability to subscribe to any oppositional action. Textual resistance functioning within the feminist, cultural and post-colonial milieu of the novels provides a platform to understand the theoretical debates and identify various resistant strategies deployed by the creative writers. She traces--drawing on the theories of feminist resistance, resistance operative during the anti--colonial/nationalist struggle, and subaltern resistance - the inter-connection between gender, cultural practices and the western influence on India social system. Bande observes that despite the influence of the western ideologies, which cannot be avoided in the Third World context, and the present socio-economic changes, one cannot sidetrack the strong cultural leanings of the authors that provide unique ethos to the works. In her analysis, Bande focuses on issues such as resistance offered to patriarchy, to the matriarch as patriarchy's agent, rape and violence against women, childhood experiences as resistance and revisionist mythmaking as resistance. Recognition of resistance in these texts help us locate the implicit urges of women to re-define their 'self' and to survive not in abject passivity but with dignity." (jacket).

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Of parrots and Mynahs: reconstructing gender through folklore. 3. Re-mapping culture through literature: narratives as vehicles of culture. 4. Tagore's Chitra and folklore's Hidimba: power of the feminine. 5. Humour as… resistance: the female voice in folklore. 6. The con textual contours: a study of four short stories. 7. The primordial and the modern: snake and night of the scorpion. 8. Gauri myth and reality. 9. Culture literature and human rights: a view from Indian fiction. 10. Can we exonerate Balram Halwai. This book is a collection of papers written for and read at various seminars and conferences over the years. That explains the range of topics and themes from culture to ecology, from mythology to feminism and from terrorism to human rights. The essays also represent a variety of critical positions and constitute a re-examination of some of the central issues in Indian literature. The defining feature of Indian writing is the quest to specify a space of cultural identity outside the hegemony. Thus, the need to preserve and project a distinct cultural identity has always been accompanied by the simultaneous incorporation or rejection of a colonizing alterity. Most of the papers contained in the volume, therefore, attempt to look at and understand culture from various angles. The purpose here is twofold: to make available researchers some new strands to critically view Indian writing and to analyse specific issues concentrating on textual and historical evidence. Many of the papers are linked by an interest in gender issues, although few address feminism directly. A few others offer a commentary on aspects of life across postmodern landscape but do not address postmodern theory as such. Those that have their origin in colonial and postcolonial situations do not dwell on the positive or negative attributes of that period. The book thus deals with culture, literature and nature to examine the central sites of their representation. The works explored here are not homogenous in that they belong to different sections of contemporary Indian society but this pluralism is indicative of the basic nature of literary criticism.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Contents Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Locating the Diasporic discourse in postcolonial/postmodern contexts. 3. Karma Cola a cross cultural feast. 4. Raj between Rajniti and Kootniti. 5. A River Sutra secular humanist view. 6. Snakes and Ladders snapshots of a nation. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. Th…is study places Gita Mehta's works fiction and non fiction in the framework of Diasporic Studies and tries to ascertain how the author responds to the Indian realities vis a vis her western experience. To Gita India is home. Home stands for a safe place where there is no need to justify oneself to others but as a member of the Diaspora she ought to redefine her position. That she should feel the need to explicate and explain herself and her culture to the west is in itself an acknowledgement of cultural differences felt by the Diasporic consciousness. The book focuses on the fact that though she looks at her country with the bemused gaze of an outsider her strong urge to recover the lost essence and to return to the folds of her culture become explicitly obvious. Her works are set in India but they move in and out of the two cultures blending subjective experience with observations and imagination to recreate India that was and India that is. In dealing with Mehta's works one explores a varied territory of genre fiction non fiction and prose. The analysis yields the author's vision of certainty and faith in her culture and traditions but also her disappointment with the changing scenario of fast deteriorating values and overt materialism. However she camouflages her disillusionment underneath her flamboyant optimism and keen sarcasm. 204 pp.

Hardcover. Condición: New. First. Himachal Pradesh is a small hill state nestling in the lap of the Western Himalaya . Geographically it is a mountainous State with high ranges, snow clad peaks, unfathomable valleys, powerful rivers and gurgling streams. The topography is difficult and defies easy access. Yet, there have been ad…venturers who came to the Himalayan terrain, conquered the local chiefs and established kingdoms. When there is kingdom, there is bound to be fortification to secure the boundaries, and palaces to live in style befitting the ruler. Culturally, Himachal Pradesh has a pleasant amalgam of mainstream Hindu, Buddhist and tribal art, architecture, and folk practices. Some of its forts and palaces have rich treasures of temple architecture, heritage buildings, paintings, sculpture and wood carvings fit to leave the tourists wonderstruck at the beauty and depth of the culture. When one thinks of the forts of Himachal Pradesh, the first to come to mind is Kangra fort followed by the huge Nurpur Fort, the Forts of Sujanpur Tira, Haripur-Guler and Kotla. These are testimonials to the splendid defense strategies, stupendous grandiosity of style and the great legacy in building art. On the other hand, the structure of the palaces in the upper regions of Himachal is usually tower-like. The idea was to combine fort and palace because of lack of space. The forts and palaces of this tiny hill state may not vie with those of Rajasthan or some other states considering the topography of the Pradesh, but they still have a charm of their own and rich potential to attract a large number of tourists. The forts are built on inaccessible hills and open out to awe-inspiring valleys. The scenic grandeur of these palaces and forts is to be seen to be believed. When the majestic Dhauladhar forms the backdrop to Jhitangiri palace (non-existent today), or to the majestic Kot Kangra, how can one describe the feeling of awe and wonder? When suddenly a fort is seen jutting its little stony head from among the thick deodars on some isolated peak, who can really resist the charm of climbing up to see what it holds? And when you see magnificent Rajasthani art on the fa?ade of some dilapidated palace you feel sad at the ravages of time. This book gives visual impressions coupled with brief history of the forts. It also focuses on art and architecture including woodcarvings, stone work, specificities of the architecture, like the Naggar palace of Kullu/Manali area which has typical architecture with horizontal wooden slabs and mud walls that are quake-resistant; temples and temple art associated with the palaces; treks to these palaces and forts through thick pinewoods and steep slopes; the atmosphere of awe and wonder; local customs and culture.
