| Popis: |
Thomas de Bruijn states that in critical discussions on the particular Indian character of Indian literature there is a notable tendency to view the concept of ‘Indianness’ as a predominantly positive notion. The author studies how the concept of ‘Indianness’ is present and productive in the critical essays and creative writing that was produced in the context of the Nayi Kahāni movement—the major innovative force in Indian writing of the 1950s and 1960s. He examines in greater detail how Nayi Kahāni deals with the representation of negative or ambivalent notions of Indian reality and moral values, which were the hallmark of this movement and inherent in their modernist outlook. |
