This volume forms part of the Critical Discourses in South Asia
series, which deals with schools, movements and discursive
practices in major South Asian languages. It offers crucial
insights into the making of Odia literature and its critical
tradition across a century. The book brings together English
translation of major writings of influential figures dealing with
literary criticism and theory, aesthetic and performative
traditions, and re-interpretations of primary concepts and
categories in Odia. It presents twenty-five key texts in literary
and cultural studies from late-nineteenth century to
early-twenty-first century, translated by experts for the first
time into English. These seminal essays explore complex
interconnections between socio-historical events in the colonial
and post-Independence period in Odisha and the language movement.
They discuss themes such as the evolving idea of literature and
criteria of critical evaluation; revision and expansion of the
literary canon; the transition from orality to print; emergence of
new reading practices resulting in shifts in aesthetic sensibility;
dialectics of tradition and modernity; and the formation,
consolidation and political consequences of a language-based
identity. Comprehensive and authoritative, this volume offers an
overview of the history of critical thought in Odia literature in
South Asia. It will be essential for scholars and researchers of
Odia language and literature, literary criticism, literary theory,
comparative literature, Indian literature, cultural studies, art
and aesthetics, performance studies, history, sociology, regional
studies and South Asian studies. It will also interest the
Odia-speaking diaspora and those working on the intellectual
history of Odisha and Eastern India and conservation of language
and culture.
