Pluralising the Narrative: Reconfiguring ‘Vernacular Modernism’ in Assamese Literary Culture / Borah, Abikal   Journal Article
Borah, Abikal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The term ‘vernacular modernism’ came into being amidst proliferating conceptual frameworks to explain the diverse paradigms of modernity as a global process. More specifically, ‘vernacular modernism’ as a category of analysis emerged in an effort to democratise the term ‘modern’ with respect to non-metropolitan cultural formations. However, this conceptual category does not necessarily encompass the complex elements of all non-metropolitan vernacular cultural formations; rather, it offers a complementary gesture towards a universal history of modernity. Historicising a debate on modernism in Assamese literary culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this paper grapples with the problematic that ‘vernacular modernism’ as a conceptual category represents.
