The conference was funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). In this book, three basic questions are considered. First, as humans try to live in-and-through catastrophes and exceptional situations in the contemporary world, what new perspective can literature as a creative form offer for healing and restorative purposes? Second, what new idioms and narrative styles, massive crises such as famine, partition, migration, the decimation of forests, rivers, and the disappearance of villages held up in creative articulations in colonial and postcolonial times in India? Can these representations be called “responsive literature”? Further, and this is the third major contention of this book, how can responsive literature be thought of as a conceptual category? What new transdisciplinary optic should be adopted to go beyond the limits of the “literary” and eventually include the “non-literary”? The objective of these discussions was to contribute to the larger discursive literature on disaster studies, which we believe has been excessively hegemonized by concepts from the West. By bringing in indigenous ideas from Bhasa Sahitya (language and literature), the images of samaj (society), samata (equity), and ahimsa (non-violence), the existing literature on catastrophe and crisis studies can finally be decolonized. 0aCulture.959159 0aOriental literature.966468 0aPhilosophy.966189 0aPostcolonialism.919132 0aFinancial risk management.959046 0aApplied linguistics.14aSociology of Culture.96898524aAsian Literature.96646924aPostcolonial Philosophy.97005724aRisk Management.95904724aApplied Linguistics.1 aChakraborty, Dhritiman.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9891001 aPaul Chakraborty, Sanchayita.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9891011 aMishra, Mukunda.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9830682 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981977976508iPrinted edition:z978981977978908iPrinted edition:z978981977979640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-7977-2  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c65803d65803
