The ArtsJuly 2024Theatre, activism, subjectivity
Searching for the Left in a fragmented world
by Bishnupriya Dutt, Silvija Jestrovic
Through the lens of performance and politics, this collection zooms in on the context-specific dimensions, analogies, and micro-histories of the Left to better understand the larger picture. It proposes a search for the Left not from totalising Leftist ideological positions and partisan politics but from ethical dimensions through smaller-scale Left-leaning struggles; not from the political to the aesthetic, but from the potentiality of art to offer new political imagination and critique; not from the individual subordinated to the collective, but from the dialectics of subjectivity and collectivity. This is not an attempt at a sweeping global overview of Leftist cultures either, but a collection that brings together culture-specific and comparative perspectives. This book searches for fragments of and on the Left, past and present, through which to rethink and patch a fragmented world.

September 2006Begriffsgeschichten
Studien zur Semantik und Pragmatik der politischen und sozialen Sprache
by Reinhart Koselleck, Carsten Dutt, Ulrike Spree, Willibald Steinmetz
Im Zentrum von Reinhart Kosellecks Werk steht die Begriffsgeschichte, deren Paradigma er – der 'denkende Historiker', wie Hans-Georg Gadamer ihn einmal genannt hat – maßgeblich entwickelt und zur Grundlage des von ihm mitherausgegebenen Großlexikons der Geschichtlichen Grundbegriffe gemacht hat. Die Begriffsgeschichte Koselleckscher Prägung wendet sich ganz spezifisch gegen eine abstrakte Ideengeschichte. Sie richtet sich auf den tatsächlichen Sprachgebrauch im sozialen, politischen und rechtlichen Leben. Dabei werden konkrete Erfahrungen und Erwartungen an der Gelenkstelle zwischen sprachgebundenen Quellen und politisch- sozialer Wirklichkeit ausgemessen. Mit dieser Sammlung von 25 Untersuchungen hinterläßt ihr Autor ein Vermächtnis. Er erzählt die Geschichte unserer, der modernen Welt anhand der Begriffsgeschichten von 'Staat', 'Revolution ', 'Aufklärung', 'Emanzipation', 'Bildung ' und 'Utopie'. Stets wird dabei der Doppelstatus dieser Begriffe, ihre Indikatoren- und Faktorenrolle im historischen Prozeß, deutlich. Die semantisch- pragmatische Analyse der Begriffe macht Kontinuitäten ebenso wie Umschlagpunkte der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte sichtbar und gibt so eine eigene Form geschichtlicher Erfahrung frei: Die Historie der Begriffe wird zum Medium der historischen Selbstaufklärung der Gegenwart.

Life and Art of Kamala Das New Perspectives
by Rajan Lal
There is no denying the fact that no single authority howsoever exploratory he/she may be can explore all the possible aspects, dimensions and perspectives in a work of art. Research always eludes leaving some unknown and unexplored possible domains and avenues in that discipline of art. It is also imperative to say that much work has been done on Kamala Das and her poetry and a couple of books written on her poetry are also available. Books like Kamala Das and Her Poetry by A. N. Dwivedi, Kamala Das: A Critical Spectrum edited by Rajeshwar Mittapalli and Pier Paolo Piciucco, Kamala Das by Devindra Kohli, Expressive Form in the Poetry of Kamala Das by Anisur Rahman, and Endless Female Hungers by Vrinda Nabar are written on Kamala Das’s poetry. Each of the authors has tried his/her level best to explore something new and unique in his/her surveyed work. But something still evades to be explored. Without minimizing the importance of these works and employing their traverses and explorations, the book in hand is unique in the sense that it explores the new perspectives and new dimensions in the poetry of Kamala Das. She has stormed the stereotypical and hackneyed set-up of the Indian mind and yet, has won both, the regard and the interest of the readers who appreciate her genuine spirit. Being an incorrigible optimist and outrageous rebel, she dares to shake and break the mirrors and barriers of orthodox social patterns. No reader dislikes her, including those who attack her openness and extravagance of courage and those who criticize her for appearing what she is. Critically speaking, what was rejected and called indecent and insane under a fake façade of bourgeois morality and respectability by the previous generation comprising Aurobindo, Toru Dutt, Vivekananda, R. N. Tagore and Sarojini Naidu was embraced and hugged by Mrs. Das blurring all traditional and socio-cultural taboos and barriers imposed by hegemonic patriarchy. Along with its new perspectives, this book also examines some select prose works of Kamala Das including My Story, A Doll for the Child Prostitute and Alphabet of Lust, since scanty of attention towards her prose works has been given. Thus, this book is designed for the literary enthusiasts including teachers and the taught, researchers and common readers.
