Retrieving the lives of two female disciples of Sri Ramakrishna in 19th century Bengal: Lakshmi Devi, a girl widow and Yogin-Ma, a dissolute babu's wi
ISBN: 9788192875255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In order to create a feminist genealogy in India, we need to be able to incorporate a diverse range of voices of women. As there is some documented source on the lives of women who were directly connected to Sri Ramakrishna, we should also embrace these narratives when establishing a tradition of the lives of women who were living in the nineteenth century in India. This book looks at the lives of two female disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, the mystic saint who lived in the nineteenth century, at Dakshineshwar, near Calcutta. I examine the lives of Lakshmi Devi (1864-1926), Sri Ramakrishna's...

The emergence of early newspaper print in colonial Calcutta. (1780-1820): Snippets from a hybrid world: grammar books, politics and advertisements.
ISBN: 9788192875200 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 27 Till as recently as two hundred years ago, India was a manuscript culture meaning that the printed text did not exist. When the transition took place from a manuscript culture to a print one, it seems to have taken place with great ease, implying that the shift was made without much murmurs and complaints from at least the native, elite sections of society. This book looks at the emergence of the first printed newspapers in colonial Calcutta, India (1780-1820).

KATHA UPANISHAD. De-gendering Hinduism.
ISBN: 9789384281069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This rendition of an Upanishadic text is but a part of a larger series; the aim of this work is to construe Hindu religious texts as literature, and examine them within a gendered inflected analytical framework. What prevents us from examining the Upanishadic or the Vedic texts within a literary or a gendered perspective? If the basis of religion is "revealed knowledge," which was made evident to men - then is it not obvious that these notions of the Absolute Being would but be defined within gender inflected terminologies? The personal gender-biases of men would affect and predetermine how...

Rammohun Roy (1772-1833): a public intellectual and the arrival of native printed texts in India.: Mastering imperial print: acts of resistance
ISBN: 9788192875248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the newly established realm of print culture set up by the Britishers in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, it did not take long for the natives to pick up the new technology, and the English language. This process of exchange and learning was made possible through close interaction. In this book, I have looked at the broader canvas of how natives, in the first few decades of the nineteenth century, were involved in the imperial realm of print as compositors, writers, booksellers, printers, teachers and translators, mastering and replicating all aspects of print culture and...

Re-reading The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna in the 21st century.
ISBN: 9788192875231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna has an a-historical appeal that cuts across generations, time periods, geo-social spaces and lifestyle choices. The text or the person is not the sole belonging of a particular institution or a group of people. We belong to a generation that is flippant in our habits and our notions of Indian-ness and the world, and we flirt with global cultures. And yet, The Gospel does make sense. One can imagine Sri Ramakrishna, examining us benevolently, and questioning us about our lifestyles; never judging us but engaging with us and having a discussion, so that we...

Imperial print in colonial Calcutta (1780-1820): a realm of early print.: The emergence of heteroglossia in print and society.
ISBN: 9788192875217 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The emergence of print culture in colonial Bengal, in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, under the East India Company, is largely an untold story. Calcutta would become the capital of the British empire, and the realm of print culture played an important role in maintaining and perpetuating British rights to this colonial territory. The history of how this realm of print culture evolved in Calcutta is central to this book. Ships that sailed from England carried books; printing presses were brought all the way from Europe and with the help of Indians, a realm of imperial print...

A Beginners Guide to the Early Realm of Colonial Print Culture in India: Making sense of the curious nature of early print in Bengal (1780-1820).
ISBN: 9789384281045 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the last two decades of the eighteenth century, a realm of print culture evolved in Calcutta serving the needs of empire. The East India Company used this realm--which printed news, gossip, Oriental scholarship, literary journals--to establish and maintain its control over the territories. Moreover, the printed scholarship of the scholar-administrators of the East India Company reveals their belief that print technology was a step into modernity, a move away from Indian scribal culture. Print culture, in Bengal pre-1800 was produced for a non-native audience, that was also located in...

Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886) and a nineteenth century subaltern: Rani Rashmoni (1793-1861). Creating our feminist genealogies.: The unholy alliance bet
ISBN: 9788192875224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The focus in this brief essay-book is to retrieve the voice of a nineteenth century subaltern in Bengal, India, Rani Rashmoni (1793-1861) and the conditions under which she lived. By having a dialogue with a subject from the past, by recuperating a history that has been elided by feminist historians, we are compelled to conclude that Rani Rashmoni was an agent on her own rights. Oftentimes, we have to be willing to venture into documented sources out of the norm in order to create a space from where we can make ethical contact with the subaltern, even if the subaltern seems not to have any...
