Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. There are performers of the subaltern communities in India whose work is neither considered 'art' or 'culture', nor 'labour' in the discourse of aesthetics and labour. They are folk performers who largely come from the lower strata of the Indian caste-based society. What do they create? What do they do in the field of culture? What do they produce in terms of labour and aesthetics? They produce a set of relationships, meanings, and values.Their songs and stories create the landscape and make its spirit come alive. They give a name to the unnamed and unmarked. They may get enslaved in the cultural practices, but they have potential tochange the cultural landscape. This book examines various ways in which these meanings and values are engendered in cultural and social lives of the subaltern communities through ritual, theatre, performance, and enactment. How shall one understand a cultural field, which is full of contradictions? Based on an extensive ethnography and the author's own life experiences of being part of the community for twenty years, the book studies five different kinds of folkperformances to understand the folk conceptions of the world and life in the light of our contemporary understanding. Cultural Labour offers a groundbreaking conceptual framework and methodological lens to bringart, culture, and labour together to study these cultural practices, which remain marginalized in the scholarly discourse for various reasons.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Folk performances reflect the life-worlds of a vast section of subaltern communities in India. What is the philosophy that drives these performances, the vision that enables as well as enslaves these communities to present what they feel, think, imagine, and want to see Can such performances challenge social hierarchies and ensure justice in a caste-ridden society In Cultural Labour, the author studies bhuiyan puja (landworship), bidesia (theatre of migrant labourers), Reshma-Chuharmal (Dalit ballads), dugola (singing duels) from Bihar, and the songs and performances of Gaddar, who was associated with Jana Natya Mandali, Telangana: he examines various ways in which meanings and behaviour are engendered in communities through rituals, theatre, and enactments. Focusing on various motifs of landscape, materiality, and performance, the author looks at the relationship between culture and labour in its immediate contexts. Based on an extensive ethnography and the author's own life experience as a member of such a community, the book offers a new conceptual framework to understand the politics and aesthetics of folk performance in the light of contemporary theories of theatre and performance studies.…
