A Rasa Reader: Classical Indian Aesthetics
ISBN: 9780231173902 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the early years of the Common Era to 1700, Indian intellectuals explored with unparalleled subtlety the place of emotion in art. Their investigations led to the deconstruction of art's formal structures and broader inquiries into the pleasure of tragic tales. Rasa, or taste, was the word they chose to describe art's aesthetics, and their passionate effort to pin down these phenomena became its own remarkable act of creation. This book is the first in any language to follow the evolution of rasa from its origins in dramaturgical thought--a concept for the stage--to its...

Forms of Knowledge in Early Modern Asia: Explorations in the Intellectual History of India and Tibet, 1500-1800
ISBN: 9780822349044 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the past two decades, scholars have transformed our understanding of the interactions between India and the West since the consolidation of British power on the subcontinent around 1800. While acknowledging the merits of this scholarship, Sheldon Pollock argues that knowing how colonialism changed South Asian cultures, particularly how Western modes of thought became dominant, requires knowing what was there to be changed. Yet little is known about the history of knowledge and imagination in late precolonial South Asia, about what systematic forms of thought existed, how they worked, or...

"Bouquet of Rasa" & "River of Rasa"
ISBN: 9780814767559 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Bhanu is probably the most famous Sanskrit poet that no one today has ever heard of. His Bouquet of Rasa and River of Rasa, both composed in the early sixteenth century, probably under the patronage of the Nizam of Ahmadnagar in western India, attracted the attention of the most celebrated commentators in early modern India. Some of the greatest painters of Mewar and Basohli vied to turn his subtle poems into pictures. And his verses were prized by poets everywhere: Abu al-Fazl, the preeminent scholar at Akbar s court, translated them into Persian, and, Kshetrayya, the great Andhra poet of...

The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India
ISBN: 9780520245006 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 703 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this work of impressive scholarship, Sheldon Pollock explores the remarkable rise and fall of Sanskrit, India's ancient language, as a vehicle of poetry and polity. He traces the two great moments of its transformation: the first around the beginning of the Common Era, when Sanskrit, long a sacred language, was reinvented as a code for literary and political expression, the start of an amazing career that saw Sanskrit literary culture spread from Afghanistan to Java. The second moment occurred around the beginning of the second millennium, when local speech forms challenged and eventually...

Philology--the discipline of making sense of texts--is enjoying a renaissance within academia after decades of neglect. World Philology charts the evolution of philology across the many cultures and historical time periods in which it has been practiced, and demonstrates how this branch of knowledge, like philosophy and mathematics, is an essential component of human understanding.
