Call for Book Chapters; Book Title: Postmodern India: Literature, Film, and Drama

- March 01, 2023

Notification; Tapas Sarkar; Call for Book Chapters Book Title: Postmodern India: Literature, Film, and Drama Concept Note The word ‘postmodernism’ comes across in varied facets, straying the readers and speakers from its specific interpretation and meaning. Jean-Francois Lyotard, in his book The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (1979), defined the term with the statement, “Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives.” It means disbelief in ‘any grand theory’. Lyotard suggests that we should not just listen to one story or one narrative, because there are multiple stories behind a story. Therefore, we should listen to small narratives and not just metanarratives. In this context, mind must be open to all form of stories and narratives of knowledge. Today, India is one of the very few nations which can call itself a true ‘postmodern’. We, in India, celebrate diversity and heterogeneity of ideas, philosophy, literature, lang...

As the four states of India- Bengal, Assam, Bihar, and Meghalaya are identified as Rajbanshi resident regions, and simultaneously the same community is also dwelling in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal with minimal existence.

"Religious Fanaticism is the Other Name of Terrorism" by Tapas Sarkar

- May 21, 2022

Tapas Sarkar; Research Scholar; The word Religion derives from both Old French and Anglo Norman language which means respecting righteousness, morality, and sanctity with the reverence to the gods. Unfortunately, religion is often associated with terror and decay; among the major catalysts in manipulating world peace, the atrocities of religious conflicts are prominent. The nature of the religious atrocity or crisis is diverse in different ages and crucial in several geographical continents. In present age, religious fundamentalism or fanaticism is the modern form of religious crisis (terror); it not only kills the innocent people for the sake of religion, it dominates over other’s culture, tradition, and identity, with political purposes. History has always been the documented witness of such savage crises. Therefore, Contemporary terrorisms of religious fundamentalists are the extreme threat to world peace. The oldest ancient civilizations, the Mesopotamian Civilization, the I...

Artists are alienated

- November 03, 2022

Tapas Sarkar; Essay: The creation of an artist is either based on imagination or reality or can be mixed with fantasy and reality. The image of imagination and the concrete knowledge of reality is directly reflected oh human psychology. And all these procedures and environments happen in/within a society. Therefore, what human psychology represents is simply the simulation of the social exhibition. So, it can be said that the creation of art, by artists, is a simulation of society. The human with their sense, sentient, and conscience are the medium of this socio-psychological system of simulation. This representation of simulation is not fixed; it changes at different ages after several perceptions of generations. Therefore, the definition, form, meaning, and representation change from time to time. What can be art to someone can be destructive sense to others, or some others' perceptions of life can be the true presentation of art. Now, why the artists a...

Why Should I Write?

- April 27, 2022

Essay; Tapas Sarkar; Expression of feelings is indispensably significant to communicate meanings, senesces, and sensibilities in the society. Can we imagine a society without language or any kind of communication? No, we cannot. Communication is the basis of social construction. We can say, if there had not been the system of communication, there would not be harmony or the concept of living societal life. Through communication different ideas, experiences, struggles, and solutions are shared among different individuals; the individuals in a society with generations, among generations, and after generations prolong those values; thus, a society is established with the participations of individuals' knowledge gathered through different types of communications, verbal and non-verbal. Writing is an appropriate way of communication, the best verbal communication. In one side, it shares clear and accurate message to the receiver. On the other hand, the message of writing is more...

Can We Change?

- January 11, 2023

Essay; Tapas Sarkar: Photo credit: pixabay.com Suffering, suffering, and suffering…We are suffering, of course indomitable. Most importantly Human beings are suffering today. This is the matter to think and re-think, this is the knowledge to be taught and re-taught about. In this situation, on one side, we are severely suffering from COVID-19 and its tremendous consequences, on the other side we are growing in ignorance and inaptitude; we are still unlearned pseudo-humans. We are blind, rather too busy to prove ourselves superior to man (Human being itself), to other lives of nature and to Nature itself. We see ourselves as perfect critics discriminating ourselves as rich and poor, white and black, male and female, believer and atheist, political and apolitical, right and left, illiterate and literate, even as human and Nature. Nature whom few of us loved to call ‘Mother’ is now being separated from us, polluted by us, parodied by us which is the real intellectual decay of ...

On Antoine de Saint's imagination

- July 20, 2022

Essay; Tapas Sarkar; Imagination cannot be excluded from reality. In other words we can say that reality is the concrete reflection of imagination. When our bodily existence is concrete, then the mental or psycho existence is imaginary (conscious, subconscious, superconscious). As we are, fundamentally, made of body and mind. Therefore, our exclusive true existence is the blend of both these conditions complementarity. With imagination, Antoine de Saint's novella "The Little Prince" reflects this philosophical motto providing fruitful meanings of experience. The story begins with an aviator who is lonely and frustrated in a desert after his plane crush, where he finds a little prince whose experience of life is a little strange to an earthly man like the aviator, but the little prince's experience is important to formulate a revolution in the aviator's struggle. Here the little prince can be the aviator himself and the aviator can be interpreted as the re...
