The "Problem" of Translation --Conclusion: Postcolonialism and Comparatism --Note --Works Cited --IndexIn Flesh and Fish Blood Subramanian Shankar breaks new ground in postcolonial studies by exploring the rich potential of vernacular literary expressions. Shankar pushes beyond the postcolonial Anglophone canon and works with Indian literature and film in English, Tamil, and Hindi to present one of the first extended explorations of representations of caste, including a critical consideration of Tamil Dalit (so-called untouchable) literature. Shankar shows how these vernacular materials are often unexpectedly politically progressive and feminist, and provides insight on these oft-overlooked-but nonetheless sophisticated-South Asian cultural spaces. With its calls for renewed attention to translation issues and comparative methods in uncovering disregarded aspects of postcolonial societies, and provocative remarks on humanism and cosmopolitanism, Flesh and Fish Blood opens up new horizons of theoretical possibility for postcolonial studies and cultural analysis.Flashpoints (Berkeley, Calif.)Indic literatureTranslationsHistory and criticismIndic literature20th centuryHistory and criticismPostcolonialism in motion picturesIndiaPostmodernism (Literature)Indiaasian culture.asian literacy criticism.book club books.books about cultural analysis.books about different cultures.books about literature and film.books for history lovers.cosmopolitanism.cultural spaces.culture lovers.discussion books.easy to read.english.feminism.hindi.historical.humanism.indian literature.leisure reads.postcolonial studies.postmodernism literacy criticism.realistic.south asian culture.tamil dalit.tamil.vacation reads.vernacular analysis.vernacular studies.Indic literatureTranslationsHistory and criticism.Indic literatureHistory and criticism.Postcolonialism in motion picturesPostmodernism (Literature)891/.1Shankar Subramanian1962-1559024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790303003321Flesh and fish blood3823912UNINA
