- Summary:
- Version revisitée d'une thèse de doctorat soutenue à l'Université d'Utrecht, cet ouvrage est le premier travail doctoral sur la littérature kannada présenté dans une université occidentale. Il est une tentative d'étude de la culture du Karnataka telle qu'elle se reflète dans la fiction kannada contemporaine durant la période de la post-indépendance, à la lumière de certains « thèmes culturels spécifiques ». À travers une analyse littéraire de 35 œuvres, l'auteur a mis l'accent sur différents thèmes comme la femme indienne, aspects de l'hindouisme, confrontation de l'hindouisme avec d'autres croyances, implications du système de castes, etc. Le livre contient des résumés détaillés des œuvres littéraires discutées. This book is a revised version of a Ph. D. Thesis submitted to the University of Utrecht. It is the first doctoral dissertation about Kannada literature submitted at a university in the Western world. The book is an attempt at learning about the culture of Karnataka as reflected in contemporary Kannada fiction. It surveys Kannada fiction of the post-Independence era, in the light of certain “culturally specific themes”. Through a literary analysis of 35 works, the author of the book has focused on such themes as Indian womanhood, aspects of Hinduism, its confrontation with other faiths, the implications of the caste system and so on. The book contains elaborate summaries of the literary works discussed.
