CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their article "Africa and India in the Novels of Dai and Emecheta" Debarshi Prasad Nath and Juri Dutta discusses the work of two writers belonging to different continents, India and Nigeria.

Duality Of Illusion And Reality In Desai's In Custody, Narinder K. Sharma
Duality Of Illusion And Reality In Desai's In Custody, Narinder K. Sharma
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Duality of Illusion and Reality in Desai's In Custody," Narinder K. Sharma analyses Anita Desai's internal confrontation of choices. In the novel, Desai's narration offers various options at every step and the author suggests that it becomes difficult to decide what actually should be done. The attempt is to personalize impersonal time and space thereby brings it into the domain of conflicting choices signifying an existential desire to manifest freedom. Going a step further, it can be deciphered that the individual desires to make an ideal choice to experience "authenticity"; however, the desire of making an …
World Literature And The Case Of Joyce, Rao, And Borges, Bhavya Tiwari
World Literature And The Case Of Joyce, Rao, And Borges, Bhavya Tiwari
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "World Literature and the Case of Joyce, Rao, and Borges" Bhavya Tiwari discusses the work of James Joyce and poses the question why Joyce is considered an important figure in Latin America and South Asia. Have Indian languages (e.g., Bengali and Hindi) responded differently to Joycean aesthetics? If yes, can there be political reasons behind this difference? Joyce's own position in Europe as a modernist aesthetician complicates his reception in the "periphery," India and Latin America. Hence, Tiwari queries as to what happens when Joyce's texts are received on two different continents. In this context, Tiwari discusses …
Redefinitions Of India And Individuality In Adiga's The White Tiger, Kathleen Waller
Redefinitions Of India And Individuality In Adiga's The White Tiger, Kathleen Waller
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Redefinitions of India and Individuality in Adiga's The White Tiger" Kathleen Waller discusses Indian individualism as being supported by a democratic and secular society, but also stymied by traditions and socioeconomic realities which keep most of its people living in poverty. In The White Tiger, Adiga challenges Indian culture to create a society in which individuals are truly free. Waller argues that the relevance of Adiga's novel is that it is social structure and practices of hierarchy keep many people in the lower classes of Indian society and that this state of affairs is counter …
The Idea Of England In Eighteenth-Century Indian Travel Writing, Amrita Satapathy
The Idea Of England In Eighteenth-Century Indian Travel Writing, Amrita Satapathy
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "The Idea of England in Eighteenth-century Indian Travel Writing" Amrita Satapathy discusses how Dean Mahomed's 1794 The Travels of Dean Mahomed maps out territories of the mind of the colonizer and the colonized, how the narrative redefines contours of two diverse communities and cultures, and determines forms of cultural representations. Mahomed's Travels presented for the first time the idea of England from an Indian immigrant's point of view and altered the prejudiced outlook of early Western travel writings about the East. Mahomed's narrative opened an alternative vista for the wide-eyed Easterner of the world of the West …
Shakespeare Reception In India And The Netherlands Until The Early Twentieth Century, Vikram Singh Thakur
Shakespeare Reception In India And The Netherlands Until The Early Twentieth Century, Vikram Singh Thakur
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Shakespeare Reception in India and The Netherlands until the Early Twentieth Century" Vikram Singh Thakur locates Shakespeare in two different cultural contexts by looking at its reception in The Netherlands and India. His analysis is based on the fact that Shakespeare was a foreign playwright to both cultures yet both have gradually assimilated his works into their respective cultures and made him, probably, the most performed foreign playwright since the 1870s. Thakur aims at understanding how the reception of a work in different cultures is mediated by various social, cultural, historical, and ideological sieves through which the …
