| Summary, etc | Decolonised literature deals with the undoing of the conditional and directed thinking of colonialism and the decolonisation the mindset of the writer exhibits the withdrawal from the colonial power and refers to a new thinking, especially after World War II. This book with its generic manifolds includes almost all the genres of literature. With theoretic norms and with their praxis, the book specifically reveals in some details the reproduction and retention of memories for decolonization and brings into function the axonal and neural nerve cells for recreating the things categorically. The theoretic hypothesis resounds and regenerates inside human psyche the sense of freedom and an inclination to liberate the self from slavery. Out of the twenty-two papers, some selected ones are textualized in this book for analyzing the totemic and ethnographic issues related to the process of decolonization in literature. The concept and propositional properties which come up with the writings written after the process of decolonization bring forth the historicity of history as an essential fabric of the society. Some papers included in the contents of this book reveal the transcultural issues along with the text of translation and transcreations. The fictional works of the writers such as R.K. Narayana, Anita Desia, Khushwant Singh, Arundati Roy, Arvind Adiga and others brings into being the contextual and situational realities of the decolonised pattern of literature. The papers on the art of drama and short stories give extra weight to the imaginative sapience of lok carita (folklore). The papers on Girish Karnad, Badal Sarkar and others emphasise on the cultural, historical and ethnographic properties. Some papers are included on the studies of Dalit Literature. Smeared with a taint of feudalistic society, the papers on Dalits and the process of dalitisation show social injustice and inhumanities done to the weaker sections of society: they also unveil the causative and actuating effects of the hierarchical pattern of Brahmanisation and Sanskritisation. |
