ItemThe "discourse of difficulty": English writing and India, 1600-1720( 2003-12-01) Nayar, Pramod K.This essay argues that early English travel writing on India tropes India as a difficult space as a preliminary to interpreting it. This "discourse of difficulty," which uses a range of features from the aesthetic of the sublime, first intensifies Indian dangers and subsequently demystifies it in an assertion of rhetorical control over vastness and difficulty. The article suggests that the tropes of later, eighteenth-century colonial writing on India are well in place within the discursive operations of the sublime aesthetic in numerous seventeenth- century travelogues. © 2003 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

ItemBama's Karukku: Dalit autobiography as testimonio( 2006-12-01) Nayar, Pramod K.This essay argues that Dalit autobiographies must be treated as testimonio, atrocity narratives that document trauma and strategies of survival. Using Bama's Karukku as a case-study, it explores the shift between the generic conventions of individual life-writing and collective biography in this text. It analyses the strategy of witnessing in Bama's narrative, arguing that she functions as a witness to a community's suffering, and calls upon readers to undertake "rhetorical listening" as secondary witnesses. This act of recording trauma and witnessing, the essay proposes, is one of subaltern agency. Copyright © 2006 SAGE Publications.

ItemThe Hawthorne aspect of T.S. Eliot's Coriolan allusive journey as errancy( 2007-02-01) Chandran, K. NarayanaAllusion is generally understood as a textual maneuver that calls into play remembered fragments and transfigured motifs in literature. While pursuing an allusive trail, readers sometimes neglect to consider the detours, certain errant trips a narrative prompts them to make in memory. This essay reads T. S. Eliot's Coriolan fragments alongside Nathaniel Hawthorne's "My Kinsman, Major Molineux," both texts featuring young men's errancy and rebellion leading to their respective realities of life. On an allusive trail a reader is a quester; allegory aligns readers and characters in fiction in their common pursuit for the meanings they seek. While parallels, correspondences, and repetitions are remarkable, readers are not always obliged to seek the arresting ground of an empirical "source." The reading here shows how Eliot appears to have reworked a large Hawthornian paradigm involving American colonial history and an individual American's progress in life. It illustrates further how allusion is both a tribute to tradition and a repudiation of its authority, a detail we remark both in Robin and the "hero" of Coriolan fragments. Both Eliot and Hawthorne before him have been, therefore, sensitive to the burden of paternal inheritance, an aspect Eliot's allusive practice in particular makes clear when he draws upon Hawthorne. Eliot's "Hawthorne aspect" thus enables us to see for once the advantage of looking away from a professed allusive lead in the title (Shakespeare's Coriolanus) but towards another paternal link the poet appears to have suppressed (Hawthorne's American tale). © 2007 Blackwell Publishing.

ItemEnglish writing and India, 1600-1920: Colonizing aesthetics( 2008-01-01) Nayar, Pramod K.This book explores the formations and configurations of British colonial discourse on India through a reading of prose narratives of the 1600-1920 period. Arguing that colonial discourse often relied on aesthetic devices in order to describe and assert a degree of narrative control over Indian landscape, Pramod Nayar demonstrates how aesthetics furnished a vocabulary and representational modes for the British to construct particular images of India. Looking specifically at the aesthetic modes of the marvellous, the monstrous, the sublime, the picturesque and the luxuriant, Nayar marks the shift in the rhetoric – from the exploration narratives from the age of mercantile exploration to that of the ‘shikar’ memoirs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s extreme exotic. English Writing and India provides an important new study of colonial aesthetics, even as it extends current scholarship on the modes of early British representations of new lands and cultures.
