Remapping the Indian Postcolonial Canon: Remap, Reimagine and Retranslate de Nirmala Menon

Remapping the Indian Postcolonial Canon: Remap, Reimagine and Retranslate

Autor Nirmala Menon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2020
This book critically examines the postcolonial canon, questioning both the disproportionate attention to texts written in English and their overuse in attempts to understand the postcolonial condition. The author addresses the non-representation of Indian literature in theory, and the inadequacy of generalizing postcolonial experiences and subjectivities based on literature produced in one language (English). It argues that, while postcolonial scholarship has successfully challenged Eurocentrism, it is now time to extend the dimensions beyond Anglophone and Francophone literatures to include literatures in other languages such as Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Tagalog, and Swahili.

Caracteristici

Queries the linguistically Anglocentric emphasis of the current postcolonial ‘canon’ and brings attention to the importance of texts written in other languages and often overlooked Juxtaposes better-known texts from authors such as Desai and Roy with lesser-known texts, written in languages other than English Explicitly moves the argument from the local (India) to the global, with a chapter dedicated to examining the book’s relevant to broader postcolonial models and systems
