Shared Idioms, Sacred Symbols, And The Articulation Of Identities In South Asia

Book Summary


How do text, performance, and rhetoric simultaneously reflect and challenge notions of distinct community, religious, and national identities? This volume aims to examine evidence of shared idioms of sanctity, ethnicity, and nationality as they emerge in our examples from Indo-Pakistan, in particular how these are articulated at critical junctures in the intersection of social, political, and economic discourses that make 'normative', authoritative, and exclusive claims upon the representation of identities.
