Book Description
With the onset of denationalising wave of globalization, literature and culture feel impelled to locate new arrangements of content and form, resulting in evolved cultural and social paradigm. Globalizing forces are reshaping our cultural, economic, and social landscapes. The literary discourse is also experiencing change at large, including in its migrant, diasporic, postcolonial, and transnational variants. This transfusion leads to identifying new transcultural and transnational approaches, perspectives, and theories. RE-MAPPING THE CENTRE AND THE PERIPHERY: STUDIES IN LITERATURE & CULTURE offers a comprehensive approach toward culture, language, and literature contributing to assess the dynamic of center (s) -periphery(ies) in the various spheres. The book sustains a plethora of themes ranging from adult hegemony, female subjectivity, and diaspora to Ganga Ghat and artificial intelligence. The book critiques the centre and the periphery and provides a fresh approach to the acclaimed oeuvres. The book also offers an unflinching critique of content and inequality through the lens of caste, class, gender, and race. The vivacity and horizons of research articles have been multiplied in curious and exciting ways. Throughout the book, a sense of place or the periphery is shown to be established, negated or supplanted by the literary works which are underpinned by the interlocking trajectories of several literary doctrines, and approaches. Besides literary and subtle observations, there are reflections gleaned from AI and mobile-assisted language learning. Plurality of observations, diversity of themes, and myriad interpretations will divulge an immense appeal to the Indian consciousness. The book posits that the scholarly articles express the confluential cultures which undermine the dichotomies between the colonizer and the colonized, the dominator and the dominated, the native and the (im)migrant, and the national and the ethnic.
