The Maratha Period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals is a defining era in Indian history. Prachi Deshpande examines the invocation of this period in various political projects including anticolonial Hindu nationalism and the Non Brahman Movement as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries over the meanings of traditions culture colonialism and modernity. Deploying a rich body of literary and cultural sources Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern Western India as well as the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their natural religious and regional identities pointing out history's pervasive potential for shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A study of quite extraordinary penetration and breadth Creative Pasts mines Maratha history and Marathi sources as never before to analyse historiography popular memory and the socio literary impact of colonialism on regional societies and cultures. Expanding from this base the book succeeds also in showing how many significant patterns of modernity in India are produced by the interplay of cultural activities power structures and political rhetoric. 308 pp.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: New. This book is a cultural history of western India from a fascinatingly new perspective: language use, writing practices, and relations of power. Its principal focus is the Modi script, a cursive form widely used for writing the Marathi language from the medieval era until quite recently. Examining the changing domains in which Modi flourished and declined over several centuries, Deshpande charts the interconnections of writing, script, language use, and structures of social and regional power in early-modern and modern South Asia. Positioning the career of this cursive form within a cluster of scripts, documents, and language practices, Scripts of Power tracks changing meanings within literate groups, bureaucratic power, and linguistic identity. It presents a critical genealogy of diverse power relations that produced the regional vernaculars of the Indian subcontinent many of which, including Marathi, are official state languages in India today. Deshpande s cultural history reveals multiple fractures in language at its sites of usage over time. It unsettles the notions of language as merely instrumental for communication, or as a primordial basis for identity, and makes us see language as history and practice. In deploying script as its entry point for large reflections on the relationship of politics with language, identity, and power, this book will fascinate and absorb all who are interested in Indian cultural history.

The "Maratha period" of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals, is a defining era in the history of the region of Maharashtra in western India. In this book, Prachi Deshpande considers the importance of this period for a variety of political projects including anticolonial/Hindu nationalism and the non-Brahman movement, as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries concerning the meaning of tradition, culture, and the experience of colonialism and modernity. Sampling from a rich body of literary and cultural sources, Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern and modern India and the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She traces the reproduction of the Maratha period in various genres and public arenas, its incorporation into regional political symbolism, and its centrality to the making of a modern Marathi regional consciousness.She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their national, religious, and regional identities, pointing to history's deeper potential in shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A truly unique study, Creative Pasts examines the practices of historiography and popular memory within a particular colonial context, and illuminates the impact of colonialism on colonized societies and cultures. Furthermore, it shows how modern history and historical memory are jointly created through the interplay of cultural activities, power structures, and political rhetoric.
