Vandana Singh’s “Indra’s Web” and “Reunion”
Vandana Singh’s speculative fiction invites us to revise and reshape many of our stereotypical notions about climate change. Her speculations force us to look at the micro-level impact of climate change while keeping the bigger picture in mind. The way forward may not necessarily be about discarding the past and making disruptive new beginnings. The world has always taught us ways of sustainable living, both at present and in the past. We have to…
Ritual, Memory, and the Sacred
This article examines how sacred landscapes are created, contested, and reimagined within the Deori community of Assam, Northeast India, focusing on the rituals and memory surrounding Goddess Kesaikhaiti. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, oral traditions, and spatial analysis, the study investigates how sites such as the bolisaal (sacrificial space) and the Tamreswari temple ruins serve as focal points for negotiating indigenous, Vedic, and mode…
Masculinity in Assamese films
The role of Goddess Kesaikhaiti in shaping and constructing the identity of the Deoris
This article examines the role of Goddess Kesaikhaiti in the construction of the ethnic identity of the Deori community of Assam. The Deoris have successfully established their identity as followers of Goddess Kesaikhaiti. We also look at the goddess's association with other ethnic communities of Assam. There is a marked difference between Goddess Kesaikhaiti and the other institutionalized goddesses of Assam or India. Most importantly, beliefs a…
Reflections of Dance along the Brahmaputra
Oti axamiyagiri
This paper argues that the emergence of social media as a new public sphere has shaped masculine identity in the cyber platform. Such masculinity in Assamese society (the Assamese-speaking community), based on the images of the ideal Assamese man is linked with a form of Assamese nationalistic masculinity that gathered momentum during the Assam Movement (1979–1985). Politics of identity in Assam is basically trapped in the world of appearances, f…
Understanding Cultural Nationalism in Assam
In a contemporary phase of competing ethnonationalism, Jyotiprasad Agarwala and Bishnuprasad Rava continue to remain relevant to Assamese society. This is proven by the simple fact that every artist from Assam never let go of the opportunity to establish their allegiance to Rava and Agarwala. Unquestionably, the two most revered cultural heroes of Assam provided a way forward for a more inclusive Assamese society. The fertile contexts provided by…
Bishnuprasad Rabha as Cultural Icon of Assam
The term 'cultural icon' is generally used to refer to individuals or images, objects, visual sign, monuments, space etc. In semiotics the term 'icon' is used to refer to a sign that bears close resemblance to the object that it stands for. Icons are particularly influential signifiers because they are immediately identifiable and carry complex cultural codes in a compact image. In this paper the understanding of 'cultural icon' is not limited to…
Intertextuality and localisation in contemporary Sri Lankan advertisements on television
Recent literature on intertextuality identifies two tendencies, both of which tend to overlook its connection to ideology: one is the trend of hyper-theorisation, the other is under-theorisation. While the former establishes intertextuality as an all-encompassing ‘super’ theory, the latter makes it a mere matter of hunting for traces of some texts that are discernible in a given text. This article analyses television commercials, promoting promin…
