Conclusion: 'Overlapping Territories, Intertwined Histories' --Bibliography --IndexThis book places transcultural memory in the South Asian cultural and literary context. Divided into two parts, the book first defines transcultural memory in the age of globalised modernity both as a theory and social practice. Then it examines contemporary Indo-English novels from India and Pakistan with the theoretical and methodological tool of transcultural memory to shed new light on the connection between memory and modernity, and memory and South Asian cultures in the wake of new social and political transformations on the Indian subcontinent. A special focus on commemorative tropes in the novels not only show the possibility of a dialogue with different versions of the past, but also how such a dialogue shapes processes of remembrance between and beyond borders. Hence, the books comes up with alternative ways of reading the Indo-English novels, divesting the concept of (trans)cultural memory from its Euro- centrism and claiming it as equally significant in comprehending the new configurations of memory and modernity in non-Western locations.Media and cultural memory ;Volume 20.Globalization in literatureCollective memory in literatureIndic literature (English)History and criticismIndo-English novels.Overlapping memories.memory and modernity.transcultural memory.Globalization in literature.Collective memory in literature.Indic literature (English)History and criticism.820.9/954HQ 6040rvkButt Nadia1977-1674850MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808252103321Transcultural memory and globalised modernity in contemporary Indo-English novels4039909UNINA
