Language Ideologies and the Vernacular in Colonial and Postcolonial South Asia
The Vernacular
Nakśā-Literatur
Nakś (Skizze; auch: Naks) ist der Oberbegriff für eine Anzahl seit Anfang des 19. Jh.s entstandener bengalischer Texte. Diese sind versuchsweise definiert worden als allgemeine Beschreibungen sozialer Umstände, in denen szenische Darstellungen und allegorische Charaktere dominieren, aber auch als satirische Kurzform. Es ist jedoch umstritten, ob die Nakś-Literatur überhaupt als eigenes Genre bezeichnet werden kann. In der bengalischen Literaturge…
Literary Sentiments in the Vernacular
This collection brings together nine essays, accompanied by nine short translations, that redraw the boundaries of literary histories both temporally and spatially.

The essays and translations foreground …

The book argues that in many parts of India, literary histories play an important role in creating a cultural ethos. They are closely linked with nationalism in general and various regional 'sub-nationalisms' in particular. The contributors to this volume look at a great variety of aspects of the historiography o…
Urbanity in the Vernacular
This article explores some facets of literary urbanity in modern South Asian literatures such as Urdu, Bengali, Hindi and Marathi. Taking the proliferation of megacity research in present-day urban studies as my starting point, I intend to show that literatures in the regional languages of South Asia provide a rich archive of city representations and discourses about urbanity – an archive that is highly neglected particularly if compared to the c…
