3) Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta, “Comparative Literature in India: An Overview of its History”, Comparative Literature & World Literature, Volume 1 Number 1 Spring 2016
1) Abstract
The focus is on recovering new areas of non-hierarchical literary relations.
An overview of the trajectory of Comparative Literature in India.
Rabindranath Tagore’s speech on World Literature and with a modern poet-translator as its founder.
Gradually Indian literature began to receive prominence.
While British legacies in the study of literature were evident in the early years, there were also subtle efforts towards a decolonizing process and an overall attempt to enhance and nurture creativity.
Paradigms of approaches in comparative literary studies also shifted from influence and analogy studies to cross-cultural literary relations, to focus on reception and transformation.
2) Key Arguments
A question of linking social and historical structures with aesthetics to reveal the dialectic between them.
The materiality of comparison, the multi-dimensional reality of questions related to self and the other and to arrive at networks of relationships on various levels.
In the last few years, Comparative Literature has taken on new perspectives, engaging with different areas of culture and knowledge, particularly those related to marginalized spaces, along with the focus on recovering new areas of non-hierarchical literary relations.
3) Main Analysis
The idea of World literature gained ground towards the end of the nineteenth century when in Bengal, for instance, translation activities began to be taken up on a large scale and poets talked of establishing relations with the literature of the world to promote, as the eminent poet-translator Satyendranath Dutta in 1904 stated, “relationships of joy” (Dutta 124)
Tagore used the word “Visva Sahitya” and stated that the word was generally termed “comparative literature
4) Conclusion
In all its endeavors, however, the primary aim of some of the early architects of the discipline to nurture and foster creativity continues as a subterranean force.
The comparatist work with the knowledge that a lot remains to be done and that the task of the construction of literary histories, in terms of literary relations among neighboring regions and of larger wholes one of the primary tasks of Comparative Literature today has yet perhaps to begin.
Thanks😊
