This critical volume addresses the question of Rabindranath
Tagore's relevance for postmodern and postcolonial discourse in the
twenty-first century. The volume includes contributions by leading
contemporary scholars on Tagore and analyses Tagore's literature,
music, theatre, aesthetics, politics and art against contemporary
theoretical developments in postcolonial literature and social
theory. The authors take up themes as varied as the implications of
Tagore's educational vision for contemporary India; new theoretical
interpretations of gender, queer elements, feminism and
subalternism in Tagore's literary and social expressions; his
language use as a vehicle for a dialogue between positivism,
Orientalism and other constructs in the ongoing process of
globalization; the nature of the influence of Tagore's music and
literature on national and cultural identity formation,
particularly in Bengal and Bangladesh; and intersubjectivity and
critical modernity in Tagore's art. This volume opens up a space
for Tagore's critique and his creative innovations in present
theoretical engagements.
