"Culture 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.Itexplores 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
stigmatised resources of heterogeneous Indian traditionsand 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."
