Close Ups: Approaching Critical Humanities. 330 $aCultures of Memory in South Asia reconfigures European representations of India as a paradigmatic extension of a classical reading, which posits the relation between text and context in a determined way. It explores the South Asian cultural response to European ?textual? inheritances. The main argument of this work is that the reflective and generative nodes of Indian cultural formations are located in the configurations of memory, the body and idiom (verbal and visual), where the body or the body complex becomes the performative effect and medium of articulated memories. This work advances its arguments by engaging with mnemocultures?cultures of memory?that survive and proliferate in speech and gesture. Drawing on Sanskrit and Telugu reflective sources, this work emphasizes the need to engage with cultural memory and the compositional modes of Indian reflective traditions. This important and original work focuses on the ruptured and stigmatized resources of heterogeneous Indian traditions and calls for critical humanities that move beyond the colonially configured received traditions. Cultures of Memory suggests the possibilities of transcultural critical humanities research and teaching initiatives from the Indian context in today?s academy. 410 0$aSophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures,$x2211-1107 ;$v6 606 $aPhilosophy, Asian 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aPhilology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aNon-Western Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44060 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aLanguage and Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 607 $aIndia$xCivilization$xEuropean influences 615 0$aPhilosophy, Asian. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aNon-Western Philosophy. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aLanguage and Literature. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a306.0954 700 $aRao$b D.
