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. 410 0$aMedia and cultural memory ;$vVolume 20. 606 $aGlobalization in literature 606 $aCollective memory in literature 606 $aIndic literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 610 $aIndo-English novels. 610 $aOverlapping memories. 610 $amemory and modernity. 610 $atranscultural memory. 615 0$aGlobalization in literature. 615 0$aCollective memory in literature. 615 0$aIndic literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/954 686 $aHQ 6040$2rvk 700 $aButt$b Nadia$f1977-$01580132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797798103321 996 $aTranscultural memory and globalised modernity in contemporary Indo-English novels$93860815 997 $aUNINA
